RHM

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Dr Tony is now cryptically tweeting about RHM:

I very much agree with what Mourinho said that parents&agents are someones always ruin youngest's career, one way the other.

With the greatest of respect to RHM if Glasgow Rangers are the only team showing much of an interest in his services then I would get that contract with us signed quick sharp.

That's just it. Sounds all a bit NRC. You talk yourself up, CL etc and end up on a free at Bolton

Maybe that's the point. Maybe he'd rather be playing in the first team for someone like Rangers rather than our reserves.

Like when Dembele went from Fuham to Celtic, rather than spending this season as a substitute for Spurs.

Remember Daniel Crowley ?, our  last ' Wonderkid'  in waiting ( alleged ) . Decided he was too good for the Villa , was snapped up by Arsenal  and touted  as the next  Jack Wilshire. After  failed loan spells at Barnsley and Oxford , he went  on loan to Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredvisie, where he now plays.
As they say : " Someone else ' indespensable' and 'unique ' can always be found at a  moments notice"..........Godzvilla!

I thought their earlier stuff was okay - especially Everybody Hurts, What's the Frequency Kenneth etc.  Not so sure what they've done lately mind.

Split up last year, I hope if the same fate befalls young Rushian we get the guitarist and singer rather than the rhythm section.

He's 19, and still highly thought of at Arsenal by all accounts.  A bit early for the scrap heap.

Young players like RHM need role models within their club. When we've had the likes of lescott and nzogbia and currently richards and agbonlahor for young players to look up to, then as a club you know you're in trouble. While richards and agbonlahor continue to stink the place out we will continue to struggle in developing our young players for the good of Aston Villa instead of some other team.

I'm sure there may be lots of things we can blame on Richards and Gabby.  But frankly it's a bit of a stretch to try to pin this one on them.

I think if he was really that good , he would be playing week in week out . contract up or not I dont think we would have the luxury to leave him out

Why we're talking about rugs I have no ikea

Unfortunately, punathons are an underlaying irritation on this site.

No need to exaggerate, get a grip.

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Persian Hepburn-Murphy?

[Bad English]

I hope he doesn't think he can shag this club after the backing he has had.

Or unlike NRC who already had a decent career under his belt at that stage, RHM would be better placed at 18 to stay at a club that will give him a chance if he works hard. It can't be that difficult for him to see we just sold a forward, are struggling for goals and if he just knuckled down he will get his chance. But he is being far too short sighted for that.

Re chrisw1
No stretch at all thanks. Just common sense, a knowledge of how psychology manifests itself in the workplace and some experience of the negative impact that one of the players you quoted has had on another Aston Villa youngster.

I disagree, we've sold a forward and seen another go to afcon and he was still only given a few minutes in a game crying out for something different whilst Gabby gets chnace after chance and RM starts a game out of position and looks lost.  I can understand him feeling that this month should be a chance but that he isn't going to be given it, especially when we've got the press linking us to new strikers.

Ah, bollocks.  His agent is probably having more of an impact than those two.  Get a grip.

He needs someone to control him with a gripper rod of iron.
