HanoiVillan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 there's a very good bunch aged 16-19 years old at the minute Where have I read that before? you always have to knitpick my posts, don't you? whenever i see one of your posts, I can almost guarantee that you'll be quoting one of my posts, it is a very good bunch in my opinion, 2 of the group have already featured for the first team or been in the squad Right but all I'm saying is that you've been saying similar for 5/6 years since I came on here, regarding the youth team. 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. I mean, it is of course possible that the next generation will be better than the last, and past experience may not be a perfect predictor of the future . . . Yep, but tbh, past experience with Football is usually a decent indicator. Not overly, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He really is a joy to watch, I struggle to remember a player from Britain or Ireland with the comfort of technique and control of the ball in the top flight at a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) is he playing in the middle? I think that's where he's most effective Edited August 22, 2015 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that's what i love about it most, the unpredictability of it, you can never predict what's going to happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted August 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2015 is he playing in the middle? I think that's where he's most effective played all across the pitch, mainly starting left or central but popped up on the right. Best vision of any of our players by some distance, makes the game look deceptively easy at times. Lot more to come from this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Faded in the second half but was a joy to watch in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He's simply too good for the attacking players in front of him He's on another wavelength and deserves to be playing alongside other forwards that actually have half a brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He was great today, shame everything ahead of him was utter shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Best player on the pitch today imo. Big role to play for us as I've said but he needs a better central striker to feed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be it Berbatov, Ayew, Heskey or Marcus Bent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just came back from an injury, he was magnificent in the first half. Should've been subbed off in the second, he was clearly tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna be no good having these players when we have no striker. Typical Villa, we finally have more than enough creators and now no striker to get on the end of them.
