TRO Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 36 minutes ago, mikeyp102 said: Yes and no. If the team are winning games comfortably on a regular basis, it is easier to give youth 10 minutes at the end, for example if you are 3-0 up, than when they are scraping for results at the lower end of the table. But then there is the added pressure of making sure you win. I do get your point, and it has merit. but we are playing some of the best football in my life time, but still we concede from comfortable positions......Man U, Forest, Wolves. my point was in context of the standard of player to replace.

villa4europe Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Keep an eye out and you'll find out... Their equivalent is a kid called Mikey Moore (@useless if you've seen him?) 12 goals in 10 u18 game this year + 7 assists, also got 6 goals in 7 England u17 games, Wilson in comparison has 16 in 13 games and 14 in 13 for Scotland u17s Watch to see what the hype is around both of them, both huge prospects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually say we are one of the clubs that uses him to promote ourselves, some of the stuff he tweets about our transfers are not leaks, they're announcements to his larger than ours audience 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Mikey Moore is younger and much more highly rated than Wilson, there was a lot of speculation around him in the summer, but he signed his scholarship with Spurs, he doesn't turn seventeen until August so can't sign his first professional contract until then, and it's almost certain that he will have already agreed to do so, so next batch of speculation regarding him will probably come when he turns eighteen and is allowed to sign a longer deal Wilson is now at that stage, he already signed his first professional contract upon turning seventeen, which was for the maximum allowed three years for a player of that age, but now he's turned eighteen he can sign a longer deal, which is what we're trying to convince him to do, worth remembering he only turned eighteen in January, so it's not as if been dragging on or anything Kadan Young and Travis Patterson are in the same position, both turned eighteen, so can sign longer contracts now, and would be very surprising if they haven't been offered deals, so just a case of waiting to see if they accept, Kellyman and Feeney already signed their contract extensions last year upon turning eighteen, Thierry Katsukunya is another, we will probably be hearing of a new deal for him soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 1 hour ago, Zatman said: He is definitely on the Saudi and Chelsea payroll He is on the payroll of whoever is willing to pay, his job is literally to "leak" the information given to him. Which he does In this case, Wilsons agent is looking either for Villa to offer more money or to create other interested parties, hence why the compensation fee is included. Its very simple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) We will have offered Wilson a contract extension and that will have been on the table for a while, we offer contract extensions to all our highly rated academy players upon turning eighteen, so that's not something we would do just because Romano is tweeting about other clubs interest, also as above he's already signed his first professional contract, which was presumably for three years, so if another club wanted him in the summer they would actually have to pay a proper transfer fee, the same as they would for any of our professional players who were under contract, the compensation thing only becomes applicable once his current deal ends, so it's not really relevant at the moment Edited March 25 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Caughtoffside is a very unreliable source, and they posted that story about three days ago, if any truth to it other media would have picked up on it. It might be that he's undecided or still needs convincing, but if it was definite that he wants to leave then we wouldn't be giving him game time for our U21s when others players could benefit from it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is probably looking at what pathways we're offering him into the first team and it's a difficult question to answer at this point because he's not been close to getting game time, plus Emery clearly prefers players with a bit more experience.

Would probably be a good move for his career to an easier league. Wilson currently isn't enough of an athlete for PL football. As much as he looks to have everything else figured out. 4 hours ago, lexicon said: plus Emery clearly prefers players with a bit more experience. Disagree. Not wanting to play Tim, who looks more and more not a PL player, doesn't mean Emery won't play <21 year olds if they're good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted May 12 Popular Post Share Posted May 12 Wilson is nowhere near ready for our first team, I'm not even sure if he's ready for a loan yet or if there would be many takers, he's essentially a goal poacher at academy level, not sure what he would bring to senior football as it stands beyond that, because he hasn't got the physicality, pace, trickery, so anyone taking him on loan would have to be pretty sure that he's capable of doing the goal scoring part, there are plenty of players that have been prolific at U21 level and not made the step up, and has it stands Wilson hasn't even done much at U21 level I think it's why we've been giving him game time as a withdrawn striker recently, try and develop his game into being more than a goal poacher, and to allow him to show scouts that he's more than that I think maybe some of our fans overrate him just because they see that he scores lots of goals, the likes of Young, Patterson, and Kellyman are ahead of him in his age group, and then in the year below the likes of Triston Rowe, Borland Jimoh-Aloba, and Broggio All that's not to put him down, he's a very good prospect, just not as far along in his development as some of the others, players develop at different rates Ewan Simpson is in the same age group as Wilson, was signed as top prospect from Scotland but hasn't even played for our U21s yet, Aidan Borland is in the age group below and has already played more U21 football than Wilson and is training with our first team 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
