And if we'd acted like a professional club we wouldn't be looking at paying a fairly high wage to a young kid to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good news: he might be the next Brian Little.Bad news: he might be the next Lee Hendrie. Lee Hendrie was class. If Grealish can play 125 games for Villa never mind 250 I'll be impressed and surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All top professional clubs give their kids decent wages now. Look at what arsenal have given kids in the past Edited October 7, 2014 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This however, takes the biscuit. Lee hendrie was a decent player who had a lot of promise. He should/could have been better than he was perhaps but he was most definately not 'class'.

He may never have completely filled his promise, but he was a good player who sparkled at times and played a lot of games for us. He certainly deserves better than being the butt of the joke in the original post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lee Hendrie was not 'class' by any stretch of the imagination. I really didn't rate him at all - despite the fact that he did sparkle from time to time, most of the time he was a complete liability. I was really happy when he left the club.

avfc1982 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hendrie was a decent player for Villa and scored some cracking goals. I think we're in danger of over hyping Grealish. Perhaps he'll turn out to be a decent player, but at the moment he looks completely out of his depth and against Man City he was embarrassing.

The period he was one the pitch,we struggled to get out of our half, no one kept possession. He was no different to the rest of the team.

I think its nailed on his signing an extension now. And good news. He's a very bright prospect and having him signed to the club for the next few years is excellent.

ronk-villa Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I too have seen nothing in this kid to get remotely excited about. As someone said earlier he was embarrassing against city. having said that it was an odd substitution and I'd love to see him come good The comparison to hendrie?....hendrie came into a struggling team under gregory. Helped us climb up the table winning 9 of our 10 last games (I believe...ive not googled it) he then made his only england appearance within 2 years of his debut. His initial appearances for villa were of a completely different class to what ive seen from young jack so far. Hendrie never really kicked on tho. He was adequate. I hope jack can prove me wrong.

Hendrie only ever performed for a contract, then went lazy again for long periods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
