Omari Kellyman

[Hookeysmith]

Another very promising young un.

Not heard or seen anything about him previously but looked a tidy player last night and his bright play created a goal.

Its great to see these kids coming through

We picked him up from Derby a season or two back.

He is very tall for a winger/attacking mid.

And very elegant on the ball.

Needs to bulk up a little though...

I think he is switching from Northern Ireland to England too... Not 100% on that though...

[Risso]

Thought of a song for him....

Soon may the Kellyman come
To bring us assists and goals, and run
One day, when Buendia is done
He'll take his place and go

I'll get me coat...

[Somniloquism]

His mum is on "X" "X-ing" about him. His house would have definitely been the requested meeting place for all his friends in secondary school.

Is the tune River Man by Nick Drake?

Because ever since I first heard Kellyman's name, that has been onto my internal jukebox like a flash.

AND NOW YOU'VE MADE IT WORSE!

[AV84]

Absolutely irrelevant to anything but he's possibly related to an actress, and a Team GB Winter Olympian, but I haven't been able to confirm it yet.

[Risso]

No it's that Wellerman sea shanty nonsense that was all over Tiktok a couple of years ago.

[Sexual Ealing]

I've always felt that Nick Drake's oeuvre is ripe for adaptation by 'the man of the terraces'.

He actually reminds me quite a lot of Chukwuemeka in his playing style. They have a similar build and both have great close control. He really stood out in the under 18 side, and certainly held his own in the few times I saw him for the Under 21s.

He might be a little too young to go out for a whole season on loan, so he could be one of our youngsters that really benefit from us playing in Europe and having a cup run. Being around the squad for a few months, getting minutes here and there could really bring along his development. Then we can see whether a loan in January might be the best option.

Getting into Europe, particularly the Conference, could be the best thing that has happened to our youth development for a long time. That win against Brighton on the last day of the season will have a huge impact on entire careers - I think Kellyman is perfectly positioned to benefit.

[Risso]

He seems to have that great ability that Jacob Ramsey has of being able to place the ball with pace from 25 yards out.

No that's great no need to apologise.

Maybe slight rewording is needed but it's good.

[Risso]

Over to you then Smirker!

Sing us a song, you're a Kellyman
Sing us a song tonight
Cos we're all in the mood for a Villa win
And you've got us feeling alright

Yes. 

[Dogtanian]

Maybe change sing us a song to score us a goal or something.
