villa4europe Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 i guess the only opinion that counts is Sir Gary Cahill, but last i heard he was seen in the Mongolian rain forest surrounded by hungry cannibalistic tribesman armed with nothing but a Kindle and a wooden duck caller. i cant wait for his thread claiming to have unearthed a once in a generation player out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkee Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 loan him, starting with league one, after that championship, and after that he should be a candidate for senior team based on his loan performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've never seen this Carruthers play but I'll be disappointed if he doesn't wear a cravat and monocle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefa3011 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 3rd prize - a tactical seminar hosted by Alex McLeish Anyhoo, back on topic; The last time I remember McLeish talking up a young winger like that, it was Nathan Redmond at Blose, so hopefully young Carruthers will step up soon.

AshVilla Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Why are we not giving that jamaican kid a chance Daniel Johnson is it? Im sure he played in our preseason friendlies and looked good Im sure he could supply his fellow countryman rambo up top as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think it would be useful to get him on bench and maybe a few sub appearances - next season a loan would be good option I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Daniel Johnson is English isn't he? He's looked impressive in the clips I've watched, I think he's got a big future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2012 If ever a chant of "There's only one Samir Carruthers" was appropriate, this is it. Because I'll bet he is literally the only person of that name in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InMartinWeTrust Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Carruthers is a strange one. I watched him through his couple of years with the under 18s and know his parents fairly well who would always drive up from Hertfordshire to support him. He was pretty close to asking to leave during his final year as McAndrew had shoved him out on the wing and preferred Johnson in the middle of the park. I've always thought that Carruthers was the much better player. Physically he is stronger and better equipped for a higher level and has that little bit of aggression thats needed. He seems to have knuckled down in a wider position but I still think he is far more suited to a central role or that role he played for most of the game last night playing just behind a centre forward. As for his nationality I think he qualifies for Ireland, England, Scotland and Morocco....pretty diverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 McCleish mentioned he was close to the first team squad and he has starred consistently for our excellent reserves this season, and seems to be raved about! Most think he has come on a great deal this season. Does anyone have any opinions on him and think he would be a better option on the wing than Albrighton or Gabby? my opinion is it would be nice to seem him come off the bench at the very least! Being as Gabby cant play on the wing and Allbrighton has been utter gash for about 12 months it cant do any harm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
