The Fun Factory Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I am not giving up on big wes but as far as I understand it is very unlikely he will be back for this quarter of a season in a bubble that will start this month. So for this 10 game run we look light up front again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Indiana Vassilev and Louie Barry (dare I mention his name again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassilev is a good prospect, I’ve seen quite a bit of him for our u18s and u23s. I haven’t seen Louie Barry, have you seen either of them play for us at any level Zhan_Zhuang? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've only seen the fleeting appearances from Indiana Vassilev in the PL, he has lots of energy and it's what we might need if we are cramming in all our fixtures into a month. If we are extending the amount of substitutes I would throw in a wild-card like Vassilev or/and Barry. My opinion is the current first-teamers haven't exactly done much to help us at all this season and when called upon they show nothing so my idea is give someone else a chance. What harm can it do, we are already a very poor team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 From the very little I have seen of Vassilev he reminds me of Andi Weimann who has been one of better products from the academy in the last 10 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Vassilev isn't even a striker, was only playing there for the Under 23s because we had no one else at that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I saw this thread on the first page and was trying to think who this was, for some reason I was thinking of a goalkeeper. Either my memory is going or we are signing some real obscure players lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't even loaned him to a club to develop him or get him game time. Just seems we have washed our hands of him. Shame. I thought he had a chance. Got skill and knows where the back of the net is but cannot translate it to mens football yet and is made of custard creams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got skill and knows where the back of the net is but cannot translate it to mens football yet and is made of custard creams. Injuries have held him back, he has a lot of natural ability. He hasn’t even started a league match for us. He’s been in and around our first team for 5 years now, I don’t think he should be written off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Second straight game we needed a goal and he didn't even come on. Surely his loan won't be extended. Don't know if DS mentioned him when he was on about extending Drinkwater and Reina loans for a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I could be wrong but I don't think he's actually on loan, I think that we signed him on a free transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Sorry yes but would still apply same criteria e.g. his deal is up on June 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bardell talked it about it on the villa view that we were let down last minute on another deal so had to plump for Borja Baston. I do wonder now who that other player was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
