Tomaszk Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Doesn't really have the position to suit the system. If he works hard to adapt, I've no doubts Smith would give him a go. A loan until Jan to Luton or something would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'd loan him to somewhere like Charlton maybe in a makeweight on the Aribo deal. They play good football and could see him doing well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yeah needs to be loaned out, our promotion has changed things for him and probably Green aswell. Just the odd Carling cup game isn't enough for him at this stage of his career now. He did well at Carlisle so will be plenty of interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I wonder what the upcoming season has for this lad. A good loan spell last season but fewer games for the first team this year could limit his options. Bench and impact sub or loan out to the Championship for a season?

Really depends on the rest of our activities in this window, ideally I think a loan move back to championship would be great for him but we also need to make sure we don't leave our squad too thin for season ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted June 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yep championship loan should be next on the cards. Going to be really interesting how he does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Of that echelon (RHM, etc.) I think O'Hare might be the one to make it. He seems to have the application to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 More promising than Green IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 A championship club has to want O'Hare first, and even if they do it's no good to us unless he gets regular football otherwise we'd be better off sending him to a league one side. We're in the EFL cup next season as well, so some of our youngsters will get a chance to play competitve football against lower league opposition via that.

mikeyp102 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) The pictures of him at pre season make him look 12. Still so scrawny. Needs to work with Oli Stevenson like Jack did to bulk up but not lose speed Edited July 5, 2019 by mikeyp102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 He has 12 months left on his contract. Need to decide really if he needs to be offered an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 There's a great Minnesota diary entry from Callum O'Hare today on the OS, wise beyond his years. Sounds like a really good lad with a great attitude. Fingers crossed for the next few years of his promising Villa journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to decide really if he needs to be offered an extension. He 100% deserves an extension. There's no doubt in my mind. He's one of the most promising players in our U23 set-up, as shown by his decent loan last year at Gillingham (was it?) A loan to a Championship side would be great. I honestly wouldn't mind him staying in the squad as a rotation player, because his workrate would be valuable in any league, but it would be detrimental to his development so a loan move where he's playing every week would be ideal.

He was on loan at Carlisle, from what I saw of his highlights there he looks very promising, we should continue to invest in him and see what we happens! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2019 The Steve Bruce/Xia short termism era really did hold this kid back a few years! Should have been out on loan 18 months before he did to keep him progressing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 16, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2019 I honestly feel he would be a great option to have on the bench now if Grealish tires in games. Sometimes you’ve got to start having faith and confidence in your own young players when he’s already been sent out on a successful loan period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not for me, and I rate the kid. Get him out on loan as soon as possible. That's what Bruce did, kept him around in the very unlikely scenario that he would need to be used. It was a wrong, selfish decision at the time and it still irks me. It benefits nobody other than protecting the manager against the worst, for the good of the club and the player get them out on bloody loan in pre season. A game every two months, 20 minutes here and there is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends how Smith and co see him and of course who else comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game every two months, 20 minutes here and there is not enough. I agree that he should go out on loan again - sounds like he did okay in League 2, but seemed to have nowhere near the impact Grealish did at County - and Grealish still took a few years to break though properly after that. Devil’s advocate, but Pochettino is against loaning out his more promising youngsters (probably why he had no problem sending out Onomah ) - Guardian article here. Essentially he says it’s better for their development to train and be around better players. It’s definitely an interesting antidote to the “play as much football as you can, wherever you end up playing” attitude that is routinely accepted at the moment.
