Louie Barry (on loan to Sheffield United)

Aaron and Joleon Lescott might struggle with 90 minutes now.

Surely the solution that works for everyone is we take Louie back and send them jack grealish

Stockport clearly benefitted from the deal with Barry, over 2 seasons. Equally, it appears that they might well be a good club for players to be loaned to. Given Villa's relationship with them, why not look at loaning them Broggio or another of our promising youngsters or the next half-season? Seems like it would be a win-win.
Likewise, Barry to Boro might well make sense, given our previous recent dealings with them.

 Would imagine that we'll be bringing him back to have a look at him really.  If they see something, he might well get a chance, if nor then back out on loan. 

I know football is a business and loan deals are what they are, but as a football fan it's hard not to have a bit of sympathy for Stockport.

Doesn't Broggio read H&V? He watches VillaOnTour anyway. About time we usurped Villatalk's trumping us for years over a player that used to post on their forum (Joe Lolley).

What's the closest we've ever had, Sexual Healing for Norwich City's Youth team when he wasn't strung-out on snakebite and acid in the late 90s? It needs sorting anyway.

Do we have any posters under forty on here? I thought the young folk preferred videos, photos and shiny things?

[Tuscans]

The way he's taking it sounds like he's staying around unless its all cloak and daggers.

[Olneythelonely]

Yeah, sounds like we’re going to assess him in January. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him play the FA Cup game, a couple of sub appearances then go back to Stockport at the end of Jan to finish the season.

We had Dean Smith. Does that count?

Bringing him back, having him train with the senior team for 3-4 weeks and then deciding what to do next seems sensible.

It may be that, after that, a loan to the championship or the bottom of the premier league makes sense but I think it is important to have an element of reward to offer to a player who has gone so far beyond expectations during a loan move.

Baggies ruled out as a possible destination - Carlos Corberan is off to Valencia.

This is a great idea!

[ChicagoLion]

Is there any reason why we can not give him a run out in January before deciding to ship him out?

That’s exactly the plan, according to both those interviews.

I remember you writing that you had given him a lift to a reserves game before or similar which in fairness is hard to beat.
