Wiki

Thomas Edgar Ball (11 February 1900 – 11 November 1923) was an English footballer who played at centre-half for Aston Villa. He was shot dead by his landlord and neighbour, ex-policeman George Stagg, thus becoming the first and to-date only active Football League player in England to have been murdered.[2][3]

Kadan's a winger though, Wilson an out and out striker. We probably only need either of them for the profit from a sale in a couple of years.

Title: Re: Kadan Young
Post by: OCD on September 18, 2024, 06:41:09 PM
I think Emery wants him around the first team squad. The talk was he was meant to be going on loan to a Bundesliga side and there were at least 2 who were interested. Emery has talked about wanting to integrate some of the U21's and we've seen that with Bogarde and Swinkels, and Young has made the bench for the last couple of games. I presume he'll get minutes against Wycombe.

I like Young from what I've seen. He might not have done a huge amount on Tuesday but it was his work that created the first goal and there were a few other times where I thought he was making good runs that weren't being picked out. I agree he left Maatsen exposed at times though and I think he needs to work out how to impose himself on the game better.


There's a lot of quality there though and I can see why Emery has had him around the first team so much.
