bose Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's clearly got talent but he's not ready for a starting role yet. Let him get used to the league with sub appearances and ease him in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted August 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's clearly got talent but he's not ready for a starting role yet. Let him get used to the league with sub appearances and ease him in. Why is he "not ready"? As the old saying goes "If he is good enough, he is old enough" IMHO Jack is the most talented and skilful player to come out of our academy for decades. George Best was 17 when he made his debut. Brian Little, 18. Beckham, 17. Jack will get plenty of stick and be knocked about but that is how he will learn. He has great self confidence and belief. So we should throw him in now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Definitely should be starting in my mind. Such a good creative option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I think that's the second time I've heard George bests name in this thread... Jesus wept. The kids good and whilst I'd love to see him turn out great he may end up playing conference football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a comparison with thee jinking style and the age in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly it. George Best and David Beckham?! These were world class players, lets not put too much pressure on the boy! The thing is if he starts and it's too much for him, his confidence will be shot. Despite doing well for Notts County this is a totally different league. I really hope that he'll be a great player for us but it takes time for the vast majority of players. Lets hope he gets plenty of sub appearances to show what he can do. If he does well then he'll get a deserving spot in the the starting 11. Edited August 30, 2014 by bose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 How dare fans get excited about a potential player. Absolutely disgusting. I think most Villa fans are excited about him. He's certainly got the potential. The debate is whether he should be starting or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Be excited. I am to. But I've seen all these pages and all these posts before in bannan/delfouneso/Clark threads. I think he will come good but I wouldn't be surprised if he was playing in league one in 5 years time. Stefan, take the claret tinted glasses off for 5 mins. I know you think Westy and co. are good enough to win the league but they ain't. God, I wish I saw football like you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Grealish looks far more threatening than what we have right now so yes, he should start IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How dare fans get excited about a potential player. Absolutely disgusting. You're right, he should be happy with his place on the bench and lucky to get a 10 min cameo as he's 'not ready', despite underperforming shite being picked ahead of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He has to start, offers more than anyone else has done all season. The only way he is going to be ready is by playing games, so throw him in while we are currently lacking decent attacking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Stefan, take the claret tinted glasses off for 5 mins. I know you think Westy and co. are good enough to win the league but they ain't. God, I wish I saw football like you did. I've never seen Stefan suggest this is the case? I'm also a massive Westwood fan (and Grealish too), does this mean I think they are good enough to win the league? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
