Pre-season 2024/25 - Borussia Dortmund

[SaddVillan]

Seemed like a good workout. Rogers looks an absolute steal. What a bit of business that is looking.

Hoping? NO - expecting!

That Unai can weave similar magic on Kosta, Iling-Junior, Barrenechea, Philogene and Onoma.

We're finally selling Grealish to Spurs then?!

How was Kosta Nedeljković?

He got caught on the ball a couple of times and needed help but generally, was good.  Gets forward well and wasn't helped by Bailey, who was quite greedy and didn't allow Ned to get in behind their full back.  He certainly has lots of energy and seems a big lad.  With better players around him, he's only going to get better.  Solid if unspectacular. I like him.

Shite, have we already traded Ramsey to Spuds and received £5m + Onomah?!

My lad will be in Chicago visiting relatives when we play Club America and is asking where would be the best place to meet up with other Villa fans before and after the game?

He's excellent.  It won't be long before he's in the England squad. 

I said on here a while back that he might have got in the Euro's squad had he not got injured towards the end of the season.

I agree.  Him and Ramsey would have been there but for injury.  I bet Steve Gibson is seething.  Such a bargain.

Thanks for that info Steve.

[Somniloquism]

Pleased for Cam. That will boost his confidence.

Although the club never bothered Tweeting out his goal video.

[VILLA MOLE]

Did Kesler-Hayden play further forward in todays game?

yep

Thought he looked lively .  I liked team 2 more than team
1 😃

[Somniloquism]

Not a bad turn by Illing-Junior for the first (although the initial pass then let him down).

Having the car on the pitch side reminded me of Doug's Rovers and if it had been a robin reliant, Chelsea in the 80's.

[OCD]

It's felt like a pre-pre-season. Presumably Buendia, Mings and Ramsey have been focussed on fitness work. I think the international players are back Monday, in time for the tour. Hopefully the returning 3 join the squad with them.

Cheers.

[Risso]

Calling it now, I think Rogers will be quite good.

Brave😉

Insight!
