I wonder what the likelihood of this lad making his first team debut before the end of the season is. I'd imagine we'll see a lot of him if we are in the championship next season.
But I want it now Mike, now I tell ya. Put them in the team, if they're good enough, they're old enough - and if they are not world beaters we can all call them dogshite on here.Yup, we've got to stop Emperor's new clothing youngsters. It was only 2 years ago Jack was dogshit for some and nothing but a playboy. For others he was the second coming of a mad breed between Pele, Hoddle, Luis Figo and add 20 other names to the list.
Baz will get his chance when he deserves his chance. IF we are mathematically safe this season for the final game or two, I'd give him 10 off the bench to give him the taste and show him the differences. Otherwise absolutely not.
Vassilev has done well but also shown why he shouldn't have been an option. We have to stop expecting things too quickly.

What is also immensely satisfying is that the Tesco Bags would have been watching Barry do that last night . Can you imagine the bitterness now.
Oh the joy.
It is what it is, you can’t have every top prospect and kids develop at different rates, who knows why he wasn’t picked up by us a kid, and anyway getting him at 16 years old is still pretty early in his development. Also it seems like the move Barcelona and then to us was a bit of a sham because it meant the baggies ended up getting massively short changed on the compensation rules, whether that was a pre planned or just opportunistic we did well to get himMore satisfying that he mentioned he's a Villa fan in his interview so it's hardly like they'll want to praise him that much either and taste more bitterness
Still shocks me our academy missed him, we're in a better place now, and Aston Villa have invested a lot in in the local area on the youth development side so we'll hopefully not let these special talents slip through the net.

A few people have said this but at the end of the day what's more realistic.
That Barcelona decided to join with us in order to sign him then sell him on 6 months later in order to make an amount so pitiful that it wouldn't even pay Messi's wages for a week.
Or that a 16 year old kid from Sutton got homesick and jumped at the chance to join the club he supports.

Nothing from my perspective - as I said in the part of my post you edited out the club did well to get him inAnd the problem with this is ?.
