Signing on a free according to Fab. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1927439305611325852

He's an 18 year old striker from Feyenoord who's made 9 appearances for them, and scored twice. His first name is inspired by the nickname of the character Zé Pequeno from the 2002 Brazilian gangster film City of God. Welcome Zé!

"AVFC's agreement for Zepiqueno Redmond was all but done last week.

Villa keen to identify young talent, with Monchi, Vidagany & head of emerging talent & loans Adam Henshall at the centre of the deal. Set to join start of July." J.Tanswell.

Seems to fit the bill from the obligatory youtube marketing videos.  He's already got the Cash U-turn mastered (see 32s of first video).  Comfortable recieving the ball in tight spaces, can turn and has a decent turn of pace.  A second Rogers would be nice, wouldn't it?

Great assist from Young for one of England’s goals too I think.
Title: Re: Zepiqueno Redmond
Post by: SaddVillan on June 20, 2025, 08:40:34 PM
Our new wunderkind signing from Feyenoord scored the 2nd goal for the Dutch

A move from one end of the pitch to the other as Netherlands easily play the ball through England.

Quick passing in the middle allowed Zepiqueno Redmond to find space out wide who then walked the ball into the box and slotted it into the bottom right corner.

He then got their 4th.

Ball played into him on the corner of the 6yd box. Turned the England centre half like he was frozen stiff and struck it left footed across the keeper into the far corner.

Kadan Young had a eventful 2nd half.
Went down the wing  beat 2 men, great cutback to the centre forward who spun his marker and put it past the keeper for England’s 1st goal.

A few minutes later he went for a 50/50 in the box and went flying on the challenge, at first it looked as if the ref had given a pen, but somehow he saw it as a foul by Young.

Then Young was fouled as he went into the box, went down a bit too slowly and obviously; and the numpty re (who's Irish) gave a free kick to the Dutch and booked Young for diving, completely ignoring the fact that the Dutch defender had pretty well wrestled him to the ground.

Later on Young waltzed into the box, squared the ball to our centre half who ballet shoed it goalwards with such force that your Granny could have saved it


All in all, an eventful game for our lads.

TBF, the player had let go and then Young went down a second later so I can understand the decision being a dive. If he had gone down under the initial contact then it might have been more interesting.

Correctamundo Somni - that's why I said that Zeppo " ... had been pretty well ..." and not that he was pulled down. Fully agree that if he'd gone down straight away, it might well have been a free-kick/pen.  A little too honest/naive perhaps?

Something for him to learn?

He looked very good in the U19s for the Netherlands.

And talking of Jhon Duran - formerly of this parish:

Jhon Duran is flying from Colombia to Turkey to complete a loan move from Al Nassr to Fenerbahce.

Duran only joined Al Nassr from Aston Villa in a deal worth €77million (£65m; $91m) plus add-ons in January, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract through to 2030. The 22-year-old scored 12 goals in 18 appearances for the Saudi Pro League club, who finished third in 2024-25 — 13 points off champions Al Ittihad.

Wonder where we stand re the add-ons?

They made the semis of the Asian Champions League and finished third in the league, securing qualification for Asian Champions League Two (effectively the Asian version of the Europa League). He scored eight goals in thirteen league games and four in five Champions League matches.

Might be a bit of cash in that, I suppose, but can't imagine it would be enough to entice the majority of the PSG first team squad.
