AndyClarke Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 U18s lost 2-1 to Stoke in the opening fixture, following the previous weeks cancellation after Watford withdrew (Disgraceful from the owners), goal coming from Jordan Graham. Relatively young side from Villa with 15 year old Dan Crowley starting the game and 14 year old Rushian Hepburn-Murphy an unused substitute.

AndyClarke Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 He's not in the database for FM2012 so that must be from an unofficial update. My guess would be that somebody has edited him in but he has ended up with the ID of whoever that old bloke is, thus his picture appears. Either way, there is no license for Premier League players photos so you will never get any pictures for anyone at a Premier League club (unless applying an unofficial facepack). The pictures that appear in the game (European clubs, Championship, League One, League Two etc) are supplied directly by the clubs themselves. So 100% not my fault or anything to do with me! Not sure on those attributes either, can't be too long until you can have a look...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 3, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2012 U21s just let a 3 goal lead slip to draw 3-3 with Southampton :? Devine, Johnson & O'Brien with the goals. I hope Johnson gets a chance with the seniors this season. He's too good for the reserves now IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I would certainly welcome his hair to the first team as well - a player that even with my poor eyesight I will be able to identify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Great result against United especially as they've struggled in the first couple of weeks, good to see Callum Robinson back fit and among the goals. No worries Kev, I wasn't overly serious, just making sure I'd absolved myself of blame!! Jack is a tough one in FM terms and his attributes won't come out exactly as I want them because I simply can;t set his CA high enough. That said he will be good for his age which is the important thing to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Do Lambert and his coaches ever have any input on the academy teams? Is the academy completely separate from the senior squad? Would they watch many of the games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevangrealish Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Do Lambert and his coaches ever have any input on the academy teams? Is the academy completely separate from the senior squad? Would they watch many of the games? From what i know, No not really. They do have the choice but dont paticuarly bother with it. As mentioned before ( not sure if its this topic or another ) But lambert came to the team at half-time and had a word with the young lads and they came out and scored a few goals to win the game. Yes, They have the Senior Squad, The u21's (used to be reserves ) and the u18's academy and so on... And again it depends on the manager or coaches decision or whether they can make it or not whether they would watch the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Aston Villa will take the opportunity to have a look at Swedish starlet Ihab Naser during a week-long trial. The 15-year-old is considered to be among the hottest prospects in European football. He is currently on the books of Gunnilses IS in his homeland, but is expected to be on his way to one of the continent's top divisions before too long. Naser has already taken in one spell in England this year, with Chelsea having cast an eye over him back in September. He impressed the Blues' coaching staff during his time in west London and found the target during a training run out against Crystal Palace. Naser is delighted to have been offered another opportunity at a Premier League club and will be hoping to do enough during his time with Villa to earn a spot in their academy ranks. "I'll be there for a week, it's really fun to get to go again," the Sweden youth international told fotbolltransfers.com. SkySports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted November 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2012 Considering we are taking him on trial, seemingly unopposed, ill take the phrase 'among the hottest prospects in European football' with a pinch of salt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 SkySports Does that mean he will end up getting a run out in the next Under 18's game? Also.... what happened to Unai Manso who Houllier signed for us a couple of years back? (Tall Basque Cf from Sociedad?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Instead of signing this swedish nobody we should poach half of Rosenborg's under 18 team. They've won their first 3 games in the nextgen series, amongst other things they gave liverpool a proper hiding the other day with 3-0. Should have been 6-0. They also beat Inter and Dortmund comfortably, and those two clubs are known for their acadamies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
