stegzy Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 He really does play like a much more experienced centre back than he is. Hopefully by the time he is 19 or so he’ll be ready to sample first team football whereas most centre backs are more like 22 before they’re trusted.

Gary Cahill was ready, a man at 18 and performing really well on loan at Burnley. Feeney could have a similar career to Cahill if stays on the right track. Feeney seems to have a great attitude at 17, even Cahill didn’t make our bench at 16 like Feeney did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably part of the best batch of CB's to come through the academy since Nathan Baker, Ciaran Clark.. Kinda shows how poor we have been in producing CB's. With two senior CB's injured this is actually a perfect opportunity for himself and Kerr Smith to get some first team action but by the looks of it he seems to be ahead of Kerr Smith in terms of development. It’s not changed with him as we haven’t really produced him as he came from Fleetwood a year ago. So i am not sure that has changed much. We still not great at developing our own talents for awhile in defensive areas. Unfortunately i think our own players have suffered injurys in important moments of development. I think we create better attacking players and i fine with that as long as we can still fill the defensive players from other academy’s. It’s great we attracting this level of Talent, just like we did with Gareth barry. oh I think Bogarde is the Best Defender in youth setup currently as started to fill out more. He would been on the bench before Feeney if wasn’t injured Edited July 6, 2022 by Villa_Stateside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember his debut against WBA, I think it was 9 April 2006. Cahill dominated Kevin Campbell, he was majestic, I knew from that game onward that we had a player on our hands. He’s had a great career since I thjnk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Wonder how they'll manage his development. Great for him to be around the first team for pre-season, wonder if he'll stick in the u23s this year or whether he might go on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Ate you allowed to go on loan at 17 or can you as long as you are turning 18 in that season ? No idea of the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea of the rules Yeah of course. I just dont think there any team that would play a 17 year old skinny lad in their defence Very rare thing to see. He needs time to grow there is no rush Edited July 15, 2022 by messi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Needs clearance from aircraft control cause he is that tall. Looks the same height as Mings now.

Villa87 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Looks very assured. Players confident to give him the ball when under pressure. Looks an exciting prospect. Some players just seem to have it - I think he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
