theboyangel Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~3218918,00.html Derrick Williams moves to Bristol City. Thought he was a decent prospect but suppose he wants to actually play for a first team - shame he couldn't have signed a 2yr deal and gone on loan for a whole season to get match experience and review his situation from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 our youth teams over recent years have been highly praised yet very few players have actually made it, look at the last crop Bannan: About to be moved on Herd: May join him Delf: Has never fulfilled his early promise Albighton: See above All there is left is Baker and Clark and neither are nailed on as future long term Villa players although Baker has a fair chance. Weimann is one of the few that has actually made it. We certainly don't have any defensive cover left at youth level, what happens if Lowton gets crocked?

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Good luck to him, him and Devine were an excellent partnership at youth level, just shows how good you have to be to make it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Have high hopes for Grealish and Donacien. Such is football that only a select few make it to the first team and only a select few make a career out of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 has anyone seen crowley play? is it just the normal lazy journo bullshit when the headlines read arsenal sign new wilshere new wilshere! must mean he is massivley over hyped, goes past two men then gives the ball away all of the time, creates an assist every ten games and score every 20 games. the next big thing my arse. wilshere is bollocks, if crowley is anything like wilshere he really is nothing to worry about. Have to say i've never really rated Wilshire either.. Overrated in my opinion because he plays for Arsenal. He's decent for sure but i would prefer Westwood over him. Please can I have some of whatever it is you're smoking cos that must be some strong shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about him. At least we are shifting players on - ie someone is making a decision. We can't keep every player - and this guy has quite a few in front of him. Probably have a decent career in the lower leagues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 our youth teams over recent years have been highly praised yet very few players have actually made it, look at the last crop Bannan: About to be moved on Herd: May join him Delf: Has never fulfilled his early promise Albighton: See above All there is left is Baker and Clark and neither are nailed on as future long term Villa players although Baker has a fair chance. Weimann is one of the few that has actually made it. We certainly don't have any defensive cover left at youth level, what happens if Lowton gets crocked? If even one player per age group turns out to be premier league player then team have had a great age group. How many other PL teams can say that they've had consistently their own academy products in the first team or premier league? I'd say quite few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2013 None of the fee's have actually been confirmed by the club, I'm led to believe several of them are quite a bit lower than reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
