sir_gary_cahill Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 League cup squad maybe ☺ that's what i meant, there is no harm in playing kids in cup competitions imo, when else are they going to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Good to have him back in the fold, big role he has this season. Edit: What I mean by this is we saw in the MON era it can't just be signing as many players as possible who can run 100mph all over the pitch, we need players on the pitch who can slow the tempo of the game down for a second and pick out a pass. Look at the Mata pass for the Januazj goal as an example. So amongst all the pace and running about of Traore, Gabby, Sinclair, Ayew etc we need a player or two in the final third who can take their time, keep hold of the ball and play it through to the striker. Jack will be tasked with that, I think he's up to it and we'll also get cameos from Gil. Edited August 20, 2015 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 We will not be debuting a 17 year old centre back. At least I bloody hope not. Tim is a maverick so expect him make his debut against Aguero, Benteke or Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 there's a very good bunch aged 16-19 years old at the minute Where have I read that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2015 We will not be debuting a 17 year old centre back. At least I bloody hope not. It depends. 86th minute while 3-0 to give him a taste. I think that kind of debut, knowing Sherwood, is probably likely at some point. Not quite yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Sherwood really talking him up today. I think he gets the start tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I don't particularly mind which of the front three he replaces as long as we get him out there. He's our magician. I absolutely love him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little worthwhile has materialised. It's ok to have your opinion. In a way it's admirable because it's bold but if you sit back and really think about villas ability to transfer youth to the first team with any great effect, then I don't think you'd be as optimistic.

StanBalaban Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We will not be debuting a 17 year old centre back. At least I bloody hope not. He's 18 in January, he could play in the cup competitions, we've got a very good young group at the minute, quite possibly the best we've ever had In VT terms, he's fast approaching 35 and is well past it then.

I never lose hope, nothing give me more of a buzz than seeing a young player come through the academy and make it in the first team, I know it's extremely rare but Grealish has done fantastically, Clark is now a very good premier league defender, I first saw him in a youth cup game in 2006, he was 17 and was outstanding, I was only 15 at the time but I could tell that we had a good player on our hands there, we have numerous players from our academy that have made careers for themselves in the lower leagues also, the academy is still producing in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
