AValon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The games next big thing. Love the comparison to Besty, but he's got some way to go before filling those shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm calling it now; I've been following Aston Villa, closely, since 1992. He's the best attacking player I've seen play for us in that time. He's 19, he's going to go on to be one of the best we've ever had. I know it's obvious I'm a huge fan, but I hadn't realised myself just how much until now. I imagine myself worshipping him the way the older lot worship Brian Little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Completely agree. Easily going to win our player of the year and could see him in an England shirt this year. The big clubs will be in for him next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Chelsea fan (to me) today: "You have to learn you are a small fish, Jack is just with you till we can get him - it's only a matter of time" What a word removed. But he's certainly making other fans sit up and take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dissimilar in style, but he'll need to add goals to his game before he can be compared with He Who Walked On Water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I meant more in the way I will think of him, as in walking on water. Though I do think 8-10 goals a season should be his minimum aim. Another aside - I think we've finally replaced Merson it only took 15 years. I think he'll be better than that too mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I wouldn't want to go overboard, as a lot can still go wrong given his age, but I am genuinely struggling to think of any player I have seen ( in 45 years of watching) who combines his effortless gliding with the ball with those sublime little passes AND then the longer passing game and dribbling. There are bits of several players there, yes, Little, a bit of Liam Brady,a bit of other even better players. Too soon to say, but massive massive potential.

RoyalVilla Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Enjoying watching his progress, though wasn't impressed with summer antics. Seems to be maturing physically and starting to have that 'thoroughbred' look - can look so classy on the ball. As others have said he needs to start adding that end product to his game - otherwise, what's the point? But he is still very much developing. Lots of young players have the ability, but most fizzle into obscurity, so in the modern game he needs to look the ethics of players like Bale and Ronaldo if he wants to even have a chance of achieving his potential. Villa aside, in the meantime there probably aren't many better managers than Sherwood for his development he could be playing under at this level.
