He was fine for 60-70 minutes but got sloppy when he was tired, which is something he can work on.

I seem to remember similar mentions for Ned when he played against Arsenal. And similar "blame" for the goal against from some parties as well. Personally i would prefer a fullback there so would go for Ned, but think to judge a young player in a tough physical game as "not ready" when he was not in their usual position is a bit over the top.

I think both of them look like very talented players who have everything they need to make it in the premier league but who aren't currently able to do a full 90 at the level needed.

Once Cash is back fit it changes but in the meantime I'd be happy to alternate between them with one playing for about an hour and then the other seeing the game out.

I would certainly start  him against Everton
... Bogarde is not ready to play for the first team imo ...
... except that he already has played for the first team and did okay; not the finished article but not disastrous.

I think Nedeljkovic is going to be a star, in the not-too-distant future.

It's not "except" he has played for the first team it's precisely "because" he has that I don't think he is ready. And he certainly isn't a PL right back.

I think Cash will find himself behind Ned in the RB pecking order very soon, if he isn't already.

Not sure what Bogarde did so badly in the Leicester match that you are throwing him under the bus for? Was it the goal conceded?

He wasn't very good.

Could be nerves, first game and I'm sure he will improve. I would prefer to see him getting minutes here and there rather than starting important games.

Exactly this.

Suggesting someone isn't ready to start for us is absolutely not.throwing someone under the bus. He just isn't good enough at this time in my opinion.


“Throwing someone under the bus” does not mean slagging someone off or criticising their performance (in this case).

It means making someone else take the blame for something bad by saying or communicating something which causes that to happen.

For example:

Sawiris: “These toilets are a fucking disgrace. Who allows this to happen?
Heck: “Oh, it was Ben Hatton’s idea, he didn’t think it would be a problem”

I’d give Ned the nod

Sooner this Ned than Ned Ryerson.

 Aston Villa will pay a further €1.5m to Crvena Zvezda after Kosta Nedeljković made his international debut.

The increase in ticket prices for the first two CL games should cover that.

Seems to have fallen down pecking order for a starting spot.
I wonder if he ever heard of Wycombe Wanderers?
I think he'll be next starting in that game a week away.

A Spanish right back is to come in.
So by all accounts the talk is for Kosta Nedeljković to be going in this window out on loan.

I belive Emery said that was the idea with him? Have him in and around the squad and first team for the first half of the season and then loan him out to get regular playing time.

I understand Ned was offered to Stoke (loan) but right-back is not one of their urgent needs at the moment.

Seems like a good plan.  Maintaining a roster of say eight teenagers that alternate between being loan and being coached at the club each season.  When 21 have a full season on loan.  At 22 either get sold or graduate into the squad.

You can tell his has loads of attributes you can’t teach, it’s just a case of refining him and building his experience.
