It's Your Round Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Not really a gamble, I doubt he's getting paid much and you never know he might turn out to be a good player in a few years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltesemike Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Upon reading the topic title I just assumed Villa had signed a young Scandinavian, as that surname is quite common over here. English with a Turkish grandmother? *Swift double-take*. Haven't a scooby about the Turkish language and its origins, but I'd think the English/German equivalent would be Burgh / Berg / Burk. (No, absolutely not berk!) 'Borg' translates as keep / fort / castle, so quite a defensive name, even though he's a winger... Still, there might be a Scandinavian somewhere in his ancestry to account for that particular spelling. Borg also happens to be my surname. It's a very common one in Malta, so perhaps he might also have Maltese ancestry. Chuffed to have signed a 'Borg'.. Let's hope he goes further than others like Fabio Ferraresi, who remembers him?

maqroll Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have a question. Is this the first Oscar to ever sign for Aston Villa? I bet there was an Oscar back in the 20's...who's got the Villa Almanac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I was going to suggest Oscar Arce. But on digging a bit he never made a first team appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If he didn't sign for Villa in the first place I'm not surprised he never made it to the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gidman was a Liverpool Reject, . Ian Ross was a Liverpool Reserve Player. Jimmy Rimmer was simply reserve goalie at Man United and then Arsenal. Paul McGrath was a Man Utd cast off - They couldn't get him out the door quick enough. David Platt was a Man United Reject Ron Saunders once said something like - one of the biggest joys is taking a player who has failed on another team but seeing something in them and bringing that out and making them a success. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
