Let’s see. The season has just started. If this dude bangs in 25 goals then we will get £100 million again for a transfer fee and every young phenom in Europe will be clamoring to sign for the Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Really hope he's in the squad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I thought I read that Dean said he was out for this game. Maybe it was just mind games. If so then the club need to be in contact with his Dad with contradictory messages. Hopefully he is available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Dean said he wouldn't be risked. So don't expect him in squad today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one worrying about his old man wanting to be front and centre of everything? Interviews and YouTube channels, he seems to like the sound of his own voice.

Plus with the high level of athletics there I'm sure there will be another one or 2 prospects on the level of Bailey and sterling in a few years. Definitely a good idea to have good relationships with the guy running one of the most prominent academies over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some talent in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great what he is doing for those kids. Definitely seems part of the Bailey agreement was to help out with their academy. You never know, we could possibly unearth gems from them too. Either way, it gives the Jamaican kids pathways to a better life. I see how he could get annoying though lol. As I've said, he almost seems like a Jamaican Football equivalent of Eddie Hearn haha!

This isnt a slight on leon at all, its nothing to do with him, but i wonder if part of the reason Leon Bailey didnt get his "big move" at an earlier time, might be something to do with meddling or strange requests/dealings with his agent/dad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharing private messages is bang out of order. The people that run our club like to keep their business private, and I can't see this being the kind of man they'd want to work with in future if those images are legit.

The content of the message from Craig Butler to Lange is fine. The sharing publicly from Butler not so. Should remain private. I agree here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more concerned about (in descending priority) The somewhat unprofessional publishing of club interest. ‘Catched’ instead of ‘caught my eye’. The lack of a question mark at the end of the opening question. Edited August 29, 2021 by brommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
