Amazing to think he would be the first. I would be thrilled to see him thrive with us. I like his confidence, doesn't shy away from the ball and knows instantly what he wants to do when he receives it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Williams is surely enjoying life in LA though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Youth_Cup_Finals_of_the_2010s#2009–10:_Chelsea_vs_Aston_Villa_(1–1_and_2–1,_3–2_aggregate) A Young Kevin Friend refed that game 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw lampard gave 8 of them debuts Before that there was Christiansen and Loftus cheek who are still there, Bertrand played a bit, Ake a little bit too From the next gen game vs us it's only Christiansen and RLC that kicked a ball for the first team, same with the 13/14 u19s CL, Tomori and Abraham played in the 14/15 final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to top it off a fantastic passer of the ball. Physically imposing as well . He's really impressed me every time I've seen him. Tenacious and beautiful distribution. Exactly the type of player we need in the first team. Fingers crossed for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamas Kalas made 2 for them in his time there between 2009-2019. They must have made a small fortune on loan fees down the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSteveUK Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Arjun Raikhy is being mentored by Neil Taylor - who has a Bengali mother. And I agree - he is an excellent all round player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Gutted, arrived home at 6pm intending to watch but naturally got distracted with my kids and missed it, but can’t find any decent highlights other than the goals.

SirSteveUK Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) I believe the full game will be available Saturday on club site. I've seen Sat May 29 ok 7.00 for the Final - not sure how accurate that is. Anyone else reminded of a great Villa centre half from the mid 70's when they see Swinkels ?

I am a bit young to remember but Swinkels seems genuinely 2 footed. Left and right footed 40 yard passes found their target nearly every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club has a mess to sort out there, we’re due to host the Champions League Final same day edit: just seen it’s been moved to Portugal.
