sir_gary_cahill Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 he really is an outstanding talent, he is now becoming a regular at u18 level and is being picked for the u18s ahead of scholars despite being an u15. I honestly think that in a year or so, he'll be in and around the first team, he is absolutely superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuse Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Wasn't there a worry that Jack Grealish and Jordan Graham were both going to be poached or did they sign contracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 They're both to young to sign contracts yet. One isn't 17 for another year and the other is only 14 (I forget which is which). So the 16/15 yr old can be poached next year and then 3 yrs time for the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 He's just gunna skip the Reserves all together? i don't think so, that's very rare but i don't think it'll be too long before he's in and around the first team, he's 15 now, 16 in september Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 We should have good contracts lined up with a signing on fee ready for them the day they turn 17. Arsenal had a 5k one for Wiltshire which he knew about for ages. Im guesssing that has gone up a fair bit already now. Agree that both, although very young will play U-18's footy constantly next year and will probably be the best players in the team. Some reserve team footy shouldn't be too far behind.

VillaAlex Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Graham is the one being scouted, but he's a year too young to sign a contract right now. Grealish has a few years yet, but as said in this thread he's a Villa fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thats Micheal Drennan, who SGC has slated endlessly and said he should never play for the club again. Got to question somebody who gets their kicks tearing teenagers playing fo youth teams to shreds. Pretty tasteless as far as I'm concerned.

largelugs Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 also, i've absolutely no idea why we signed drennan, he is dreadful players such as seb jenkins (the right back), reece caira (the left back), connor taylor (the right winger) and michael drennan (the striker) should never for the club again, even at youth level. Drennan was shocking, ethan moore is 10x better, I have no idea why we waste our time buying these irish youngsters He's absolutely shocking, he literally can't run and has poor technnical ability, I'll never know why we signed him in the first place, let alone gave him a professional contract, as I've said before the likes of him, reece caira, seb jenkins and connor taylor should be released immediately, they are nowhere near good enough for this great club We have no-one to play instead of them, they are all awful players what on earth makes you think drennan is talented? he can't run To be honest, I don't care what you think about any player. However, i think it is really crass to slate young kids who are playing for our youth teams. They are following a dream. They have been closely watched by Villa scouts and they have seen something in their games that impress and they would like to develop. The majority will never make it and that is a fact that i'm sure Villa stress throughout their spells at the clubs. What if these young lads look on the forum, or their parents? I think at such a young age they deserve to be given a bit of a chance. As soon as they make the first team squad, then everyone is entitled to an opinion. But as young kids learning each day, surely they shouldn't be open to such negative crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be honest though, I thinks SGC has more of a hate of where this lad is from than the type of player he is or could become. Sad little person IMHO.
