Then it wouldn't be as good as it is with him and any of Dunne, Collins or Cuellar alongside him?

maybe if Cahill had shown the same patience as Clark we would have our wish. Let's not stir up that conversation up again. Besides, in my opinon he's a much better defender than Cahill which is the most important part of being in that position. Cahill is much better in attacking situations.

Delighted about this. Well done Ciaran.

Initially, perhaps not, however it might have been a promising partnership nevertheless. We are quite strong in that department.

Good news this.  I'd have considered a longer contract to be honest.

Anyone know if we put a sell-on clause in Cahill's contract?

Now we'll see what he's made of. The period after signing a fat new contract is when you see whether a young player has the real hunger and desire to make it. See Moore (L).

We need to be careful with contract length. So 4 years is good enough as long he is hungry all the way.

Good news. He looks a star in the making.

Well done Villa for getting this done quickly and quietly!

The only thing lacking from this lad's game is awareness. Once he learns that he'll easily be one of the most cultured defenders seen at Villa in many a year.

I disagree, he certainly has that. The only he thing he lacks is expeience and doesn't look too bad for that either.

Anyway, this is good news. A class player and future Captain.

The best thing about him is he's left footed so can give us that natural balance, he looks like a very talented player but we just need to pick and choose which games to play him in

Already a very good player, potentially a great player, this is very good news.

The boy is going to be top drawer, as I believe they say.

He's so incredibly comfortable on the ball, but I do think he takes a few too many risks at times, like he thinks he's the new Franz Beckenbauer.

The stupid thing is that a small part of me thinks he may actually be right.

Here's hoping he continues to develop

Good news as he has looked very good so far and seems to have the potential to go far in the game.

On the cautious side though, I thought the same of Scimeca and even thought David Hughes would make it. Which is probably why i'm not a manager or coach.
