SonicVillan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Also, it was nice to see Marc Albrighton there supporting the youngsters. Yeah will defiantly encourage them to try and push on, thats for sure.. He let his Dad pay for his J20, though. The cheek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Beat Burton Albion 3-1 today, goals from Umit Eminoglu, Bradley Lewis and an OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Do you know the line up andy? Do you know who the new scholars are? All i know are Jack Grealish, Riccardo Calder and possibly Ben Hodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hoping to hear later on what the line up was. I know Danny O'Brien, Jordan Graham, Jerell Sellars, Bradley Lewis and Umit Eminoglu played. Regarding new scholars, at the moment I've got Danny O'Brien (16), Courtney Wildin (16), Jerell Sellars (16 or 17), Elliot Hogan (15 or 16) and Jordan Lyden (15) as players who have been offered deals of some sort but not totally sure on Hogan and Sellars age.

LockStockVilla Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Does anyone know if Juan Serrano is still with the club, or if he went back to Spain or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Gone back to Spain as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Okay, that's what I reckoned, because from his twitter didn't seem he was back at Villa, a bit disappointing because he was one I was certainly intrigued to watch...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He has gone to Malaga (joined the youth team there) http://tinyurl.com/cvf8r4w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh bummer. I would have to think though that it'd be really difficult for a Spanish youngster to settle into England, especially without any other Spanish players, mates, etc around. Very good opportunity for him at Malaga especially with the money the club now has, certainly wish him luck. And I am in Malaga this week, so hopefully I can bump into him.

AndyClarke Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I reckon we might have signed Foday Nabay from Blues (google him, big story at the moment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There isn't much linking us to him on google andy, it mainly links him to man utd or city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I know but I was watching his twitter yesterday. Here is my evidence: 1) He's started talking to Jordan Graham 2) He tweeted on 20th "An other nyt that I Cnt sleep ffs match for 18's tomoro as well :(". According to his location, this tweet was from Birmingham. 3) On 21st he tweeted "On the coach first game of the season18's :)". According to his location he was literally just around the corner from Bodymoor Heath. 4) Villa U18s played Burton Albion U18s on 21st in Burton and won 3-1. 5) He tweeted "Good game won 3 - 1 #poppinghell! Under 18s" his location was showing as halfway down the A38 between Burton and Birmingham. 6) He later tweeted "@DimmyNo7 Hard u scored a banger fam well done bro :D" to a lad who plays for Birmingham City U18s, they won 3-0. So he wasn't playing for them. If I'm right then I've beaten the press! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There are too many factors for it not to be true, unless he just played a trial for us, but it doesn't sound like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largelugs Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I've seen Foday play a lot of schools football and he is the best player i have ever seen at that age, by a long long way. However, he was also twice the size of nearly every kid he was playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not yet! I'm working on it though! The following were definitely involved: Jordan Graham Jerell Sellars Robin Dempsey Umit Eminoglu Danny O'Brien Brad Lewis Still not 100% on Foday Nabay but it does look like he played.
