AndyBM Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 i too would of liked to see him get into the team at some point this season, but if this benefits him more and theres no option to buy clause, it can only be a good thing does anyone know the duration of the loan deal yet? we dont need to worry too much, we still have gardner, grealish, bacuna, delph and even nzogbia if we cant shift him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wanted to see him play a bit, 20 yrs old now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good. Last year was wasted for him in regards first team participation, a couple of bench appearences and that was it. We need to get away from thinking being all conquering at youth level will lead to 11 first team regulars, it didn't work in 2002 or 2008. Most Premier league clubs realise with the decline of reserve football now that young players just need to be playing competitive football somewhere so I'm happy we're finally waking up to this aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLohn Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It is clear what Lambert is doing. He has seen what players like Bannan and Delfouneso have turned into without getting experience of what it is to be a footballer before it is too late. Both the two mentioned did go out on loan, but it seems by that point they already thought they'd "made it". I'm all for as many of the youngsters who are ready to go out on loan, definitely better than getting 10 sub appearances / cup games in the season for Villa. Going on loan creates a better mindset.

K-Carlsen Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not neccessarily a full year loan, though? As with Burke, it might be more ideal to give them half a year "playing with men" in a lower league before they are given a real test in the prem.

VillaAlex Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good move, just hope its just a couple of months though. Potentially players like Carruthers can impress on their loans and then come back putting every competition in the squad. I don't think its as achievable when they are just playing reserve fixtures and the odd cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridge-AVFC Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good move for Samir. Especially to MK Dons. They play football the right way and he should piss into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 He's at the age where he needs some sort of first team football. I'd imagine Johnson will also go on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Confirmed on the OS. Good luck to him. He'll undoubtedly have the best name at Dons for sure. Good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Samir Carruthers excited by MK Dons loan © PA Photos Tweet By Darren Plant, Reporter Filed: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 06:50 UK Last Updated: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 08:11 UK Midfielder Samir Carruthers believes that his style of play will fit in well at MK Dons. Carruthers has moved to the League One club fromAston Villa until January, and the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has admitted that it represents a great opportunity to showcase his potential to Villa manager Paul Lambert. The 20-year-old told the Irish Independent: "MK Dons play my type of football so I was only delighted to agree the move until January. "Last season, I sat around on the bench a lot and I wanted to get out on loan. But, because of the number of injuries that we had at Villa, I was struggling to get out. "This year, the manager has let me get some game time on loan. All I want to do is play football and show what I can do." Carruthers has made three Premier League appearances at Villa Park.

packoman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Didn't see the game but sounds like he had a good one, he got a goal and an assist. Grealish only came on for the last minute and Burke didn't get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Carruthers was a second half substitute for MK Dons today apparently and won a penalty for their equaliser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
