Eighteen year-old goalie signed from Anderlecht.
Bienvenue (or the Dutch equivalent if you come from the Northern bit).
EDIT: he's actually Montenegrin, which I think might be a Villa first.
-
Welcome Matija.
-
Clearly one for the future.
He looks about 11.
-
years or months?
-
welcome son
How tall are you ?
lets be having some vegetables
-
You are a lucky boy Matija wearing the colours of one of the greatest football clubs in the world. Welcome. Watch out Brad.
-
I have underpants that look older than him.
-
shows that's Sherwoods in for the long haul,
-
I can just see him now, walking out onto the pitch at Villa Park for the first time.
Holding Micah Richards' hand.
-
at least he has conservative dress sense ; I welcome anyone not dressed in Jackson Pollack's smock or Frieda Kahlo's hand me downs
-

Poor sod , signed up for Villa than compared to a pair of pants :( :)
-
Twice
-
He looks wee bit like Tim.
-
So do this means he will be Brad Guzan's deputy or Mark Bunn is still no 2 goalkeeper
-
I think Grealish should be his mentor for a few months that should age him quickly enough and give him a trendier hair style.
-
a lot of people did want another keeper
-
A lot of people want a goal scorer too John...don't think we will get one now
-
Welcome Matija.
-
welcome son

well Sherwood is 6ft 1, so they look about the same height give or take. But bloody hell makes me feel old looking at this kid.
-
He looks like he needs a bowl of soup the kid
-
Signing doesn't look good for Jed Steer's future with us
-

If he eats his Petit Filous his bones will get strongerer and he'll have a growth spurt.
-

I doubt he'll be anywhere near the first team for at least a couple of seasons.
-
Welcome Matija whoever you are.

On AVFC's Facebook page, there is much of the usual negativity following a Villa signing, followed by a post asking for a bit more positivity and saying it's no wonder our players look so nervous if they read some of this stuff.
The lad himself seems to have 'liked' that comment!
-
Anyone know the fee?
-
It's just as well Villa are allowed to sign players I've never heard of. The only ones I remember are the really crap ones, like Francis Benali and Peter Beagrie. I'm not sure those two are even alive
-

is Sherwood 6ft 1 ? Bloody hell he doesnt look it . anyway this lad could still grow up until he is 21
-
needs to bulk up a bit; at the mo you sense he's got the profile of a racing snake

And longer. There's blokes in their fifties on here still haven't grown up.

Where will this leave the likes of Benjamin Seigrist - who seems to have been around forever yet never seemed to make the step up

Out with a long term injury I think. Didn't he break his leg ?

any advances on this ??

Yeah Kozak posted something about it and everyone panicked for a while that it was another break for Kozak. I hope Seigrist will get a chance when he's fit, I'm not convinced by Steer from what I've seen (I'll caveat this with the fact that he's still very young for a goalkeeper) so I think we should look at all the young keepers we have and see if any are able to step up. Think this signing is definitely one for a few years down the line which is great to see, that's Sherwood sticking to what he knows.
-
Made his international debut last night and kept a clean sheet as Montenegro beat Belarus.
Currently on loan at Livingston.
As a special reward, I've treated him to some accents in my initial post.
-
Looks like a good, positive 'keeper, if a bit on the small side.
-
When we were sponsored by Mita, the short arse players could always stand on a photocopier in the team photograph.

Most of the time back then the photocopiers could get a game.
-
First names on the teamsheet. Bit like the Davitt family for Barnstoneworth.
-
Team that lost 4-1 at home to Norwich included a midfield of Hodge, Mita Minolta.
-
He was in the BoxPark at Wembley in his full kit for the playoff final

So, according to BBC Sport, Livingston are "incredibly disappointed" at Sarkic being recalled by Villa?? Absolutely no recognition of our current plight with injuries....

I assume it was written into the deal that we could recall him.... so fair's fair really.
-
Probably in the same way that we would've been very dissapointed if Tammy was recalled by Chelsea last January. I wouldn't take it as a dig at us, more that he's doing a good job there and the're dissapointed to lose him.
-
He will always be welcome back at the Tony Macaroni stadium.
😂
-
Exactly, he's doing well for them and they wanted to keep him. We do seem to try and see something that isn't there quite often.
Livingston FC regrets to announce that goalkeeper, Matija Sarkic, has been recalled by parent club, Aston Villa.
Matty returns to Villa Park as regular first-choice goalkeeper, Tom Heaton, sustained an injury which resulted in him being stretchered off in yesterday’s 2-1 win over Burnley.
This is incredibly disappointing news for all at Livingston FC given the level of performance we’ve seen from Matty this season. He had managed to keep 7 clean sheets in 18 appearances for the Lions so far this campaign, including a blank in our 2-0 win over Champions, Celtic.
We wish Matty all the very best in the future and it goes without saying that he’ll always be welcome at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

They were hoping he'd put penne to paper on a new deal but Villa refusilid.
-
At least now he's closer to Spaghetti Junction.
-

Sounds like they’ve really blown a fusilli over losing him.
-
I wonder if his return means we're expecting another club to (pasta) shell out for Kalinic.
-
I was at the Celtic v Livingstone game in November, Celtic won 4-0. He wasn’t at fault for any goals, made a few decent saves & his kicking & distribution, was very good.
-
Let’s hope he’s stroganoff for us

Very sad news that our former keeper Matija Sarkic has passed away aged only 26. I was just commenting on how excellent he was playing for Montenegro vs Belgium. Sarkic played most recently for Millwall. RIP
-
Difficult to put the news of this morning into words.
Former Villa goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has passed away at the age of 26.
Rest in peace, Mati. You and your family are in our thoughts.
-
Bloody hell that’s dreadful. Rest in Peace.
-
Jeeze that's a shocker at that age, we seem to have a crazy amount of players pass away young.
HEITS
-
R.I.P.
-
Very sad news…
-
Played 30 times for Millwall last season.
Most recently played for Montenegro away to Belgium (5th June) so very sudden whatever has happened.
R.I.P.
-
Terrible, awful news, just a boy. My thoughts are with his mother, father and his family. Any idea what happened?
-
Awful news. That’s just really sad news, my thoughts go to all of his family and friends. RIP

Incredibly sad news, RIP. To pass away at 26 shows just how precious life is.
-
Bloody hell that's awful!
-
Couple of articles say he was taken ill while at an apartment with friends. Ambulance was called but they couldn't do anything. Sounds very sudden whatever it was.
-
Jesus Christ, that is horrific news. So young...
RIP.
-
How unbelievably sad.
-
Poor lad, terrible
-
Shocking news - RIP

Everyone at Aston Villa is deeply saddened by news of the passing of our former goalkeeper Matija Šarkić.
Matija joined our Academy in 2015 and spent five years with the club, during which time he made his full international debut for Montenegro, before departing in the summer of 2020.
The thoughts and condolences of all at the club are with his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

Terrible news
RIP

Such sad news.

Just heard that Kevin Campbell has also passed away at 54.

There's a two-parter Under The Cosh podcast with him where he comes across as a lovely, funny bloke.
Terrible shame, I always rated him as a player, a proper centre forward.

Bloody hell.
So hard to take in. A fit and healthy young man in his absolute prime.
Must be a terrible shock for his family and friends.
RIP Matija.

Terrible news, RIP Matija.

How terribly sad. RIP.

Dreadful news thoughts and prayers with his family and friends
-
How utterly tragic especially for somebody so young who had worked his way up, going out on loan, learning his trade to finally become the number one. At least he got to represent his country, the last time was against Belgium earlier this month.
Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.
RIP
-
26. Fucking hell. Sudden deaths like that really make you take a step back. RIP.
-
RIP.
Very sad that anyone goes at that age. And Kevin Campbell going on the same day.
Villa could pretty much name a full eleven of players that have died prematurely in the last thirty years or so.
-
26. Fucking hell. Sudden deaths like that really make you take a step back. RIP.
They put football into perspective.

Very sad news, so young and was yet to reach his prime.
RIP Matija.

How tragic, especially as he was only 26. RIP.
