duke313 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Going to sign his first professional deal in January according to Birmingham Mail. He looks a real talent, I wonder could we see him in first team earlier than most U18 players, he's 6 ft so physicality of senior football shouldn't be an issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he looks a real talent but needs to be developed carefully. I’m old enough to remember Jimmy Brown who made our first team at 16 (I seem to remember) and was burned-out before he was fully developed.

Of course, a few cameo appearances off the bench against weaker opposition perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 From what I’ve seen of the kid he seems to have a proper finishers instinct, something we’ve lacked for a while in our forwards, probably since Benteke. Hoping Wilson and Archer make it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Scottish centre- forward, the Holte does like one of them. Andy Gray, Andy Lochhead and Alan offside McInally are three that come to mind. Andy Gray had a beautiful connection with the Holte - End, I can still clearly picture him today, arms outstretched, standing right in front of a jam - packed Holte, absolutely buzzing from all that love, and the memory of that as never left him, or us, to this day. What a wonderful player he was, resplendent in claret and blue. Hopefully this promising young lad can go on to become a Villa legend. He has already said how he feels this is the club for him. I can't wait to see how many gems are moulded on that illustrious conveyor belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's not some £3m signing from Paraguay, so apparently we don't scout youth well, if you believe some people on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted December 9, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think it was one of the various Sherlock Holmes things that said that if you rule out all of the possibilities that you can, what you're left with, no matter how unlikely it might seem will be the truth of the matter. Therefore, having seen him a couple of times now, I can declare as fact that Rory Wilson lives half a second in the future. He's not the finest technical footballer in the side, not the biggest, not the quickest - but he has movement and anticipation on a level that's almost a superpower. When everyone else is watching, Rory is moving, if it's an instinct it's extraordinary, if it's learned then it should be patented, it's amazing. I watched him in the second half at times, peeling off a defender for a ball that the midfielder hadn't thought of yet, closing down a keeper before the defender had realised there had been a shot, moving into spaces that weren't there until he arrived. Rory isn't the quickest over six yards, but he wins because he has a two yard head start - every single time - you don't know how he got it but he did. Rory Wilson lives half a second in the future. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
