momo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 How is he doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 25, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well he hasn't so much as made the bench for the 1st team yet and we are seemingly in the market for a LB so I'd say not very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He has been playing in the US. Just wondering how he has been. Dependable, inexperienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He's done fine - not let himself down - not pulled up trees. Still a little way off the 1st team I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaztonVilla Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well he hasn't so much as made the bench for the 1st team yet and we are seemingly in the market for a LB so I'd say not very well. Yes he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 25, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ah so he was, he was on the bench at Anfield. Doesn't really change anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He looked decent in pre season. Not someone to rely on and still very much third choice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Admittedly before preseason I thought he would end up being the forgotten man however on the America tour and against Burton and Peterborough he's really impressed me. As we have no other natural left back other than Warnock, I think he has a good chance of starting, unless we buy someone (Which I think we may do) What do you think?

AVFCAM Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I see Ends Steven's transfer a bit like I see Fabian Delph's and I don't think we really handled it well...we've been a bit like Chelsea with it all. We signed Delph, a promising young player who was playing week in, week out, for his old club. He then plays a handful of times and is obviously not quite good enough to be a regular. Then he gets injured (quite a bit) and never gets a run in the team due to not being good enough or another injury. We signed Enda Stevens, I don't know much about him, but, he was promising enough for Shamrock Rovers to be keen to hold onto him until the end of their season. He makes the bench less than a handful of times during the season, doesn't play once. Plays a bit in pre-season. Chelsea and I suppose Man Yoo and Citeh are guilty of this as well, buy youngsters, almost so others can't have them and then sit them on the bench. Look at Sidwell as an example, he could've gone to quite a few PL teams after his season with Reading, but, Chelsea wooed him and he sat on the bench all year, because he wasn't good enough. This lack of playing has moulded him into the "player" he is today, which is far less less than the player he seemed to be becoming (although he may have only been a one season wonder anyway) Why didn't we loan Enda back to Shamrock Rovers? Why hasn't Delph spent more time back at Leeds (although he did get injured last time he went...surprise, surprise)? Just seems a bit of a waste...

Richard Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Or they are good enough at a certain level and once we see them perform for us, either in training or competitive matches, we see they really are not that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Not every transfer will work out. Look at Hutton. At least Lambert has given the lad a chance in pre season . The rest is up to him. For the price we paid he may still be a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A Couple of signings would be nice this week, Oh & moving Hutton out Please! I think Stevens has a way to go yet btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Not all transfers work out. But the better managers/scouts get a higher % right than wrong.... and this usually manifests itself in to having a better team. We over recent years have got more wrong than right...hence where we have been in the doldrums. Lets hope, and I'm sure he can( PL) get more right than wrong. PS just remember, the best individual players, don't ALWAYS make the best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 How's he been doing for the reserves? He's six months older than Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Alas I've got a few years on Enda Jnr. He got absolutely skinned by Saha within two minutes of coming on today. Lesson learned, hopefully. Think he made a good challenge from a cross, though I wasn't sure it was him. Was anyone watching him closely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Think he made a good challenge from a cross, though I wasn't sure it was him. Was anyone watching him closely? Indeed, that was him. They put a nice cross into the center of the box and he intervened to put it out of danger. Was some tidy defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 We seem to be running out of left backs for one reason or other. He might get some more action soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
