We can't keep living off that, it was a different generation of players. We signed Bertrand more recently in a similar way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our academy is sounding increasingly middle class 😂 Edited 15 July 2022 by FoxesWalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all changed now which I guess could be an issue as it’s no longer u23s it’s back to u21s I’m sure I heard which in turn could have a knock on effect with some of the older players in the development squad (or am I reading to much into it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Bertrand more recently in a similar way. This generation of Villa players has a few really good ones coming through. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if one or two slipped through the net as they look to move players on to create room for the next generation making the step up from their U15s, U16s, U18s, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefoxsam Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 Had a shocker against Barwell. Too slow on the ball and got caught out twice and also his error for the Barwell goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheppyFox Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 Albrighton was on a free wasn’t he? Club legend. 😁 probably the exception rather than the rule though, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Bertrand more recently in a similar way. ....Bertrand was looking for a last contract, he found us and we were naive enough to take the risk!!! Albrighton at the time was nowhere near his peak when he was released by Villa. If memory serves me right, he is a Villa supporter and that must have been hard for him to take at the time, leaving your club. He continues to fight his way back into the team, every time you think he is on his way out. Edited 15 July 2022 by sacreblueits442 Spelling error.
