who this guy

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

I doubt it – maybe if we were league one and didn’t already have 2 right backs

Wouldn’t totally surprise me .... I don’t think Robins rates Da Costa. It depends on whether he feels Burroughs can act as a deputy or Kester is a better back up option.

 

[Dickie]

Great name though

Interesting. Where have you heard that?
Exciting talent but can't see the fit for him here. If he was left sided maybe.

Someone in the know down the road

 

[Danceswithhorses]

This cant be true...he's not a midfielder !

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would be a strange signing to make imo. I'm assuming he'd be coming as a back up?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Can’t see us signing an eighteen year old rookie on loan for a position covered by Dabo and DaCosta but you never know.

 

[CrawleySkyBlue]

But he's a right back who we could play in CM...

 

[Gibbo]

A loan for a position where we have a strong 1st choice is just stupid. It is a waste. See Ryan Giles. We have up to 5 loans allowed and need to get them dead right in the positions we need them. Last year Osti, James and SamMac weere vital and Gyokeres was useful.

Unless of course Robins knows something we don't about Dabo.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Does he smile when he plays ? If not, it's a no from me

All depends if DaCosta is going to be here next season ?

I thought we would see him in the last few games but Robins didn't play him. I think he was fasting for Ramadan actually.

Instead Dabo played and got injured again...

He was injured (ankle).

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I don’t think it will matter about DaCosta as Burroughs will be ahead of him.

 

[Esoterica]

More than anything, I'd be shocked if we were finalising loans before we moved players in and out on permanent deals. A polite enquiry to be kept informed if they were looking to loan him out next season at most.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Can’t see Villa letting him come here to sit on our bench if he can shift Dabo fine that will be some player on our hands.

Trent AA broke into the Liverpool side at the same age
If he's rapid and good going forward it could be a good fit
Dabo needs time to properly recover
Burroughs will feature in preseason to be assessed
I think what others have said about DaCosta is probably right
He hasn't been great

 

[SkyblueDad]

I agree if we sign better players whether it’s full back or forward we should. Is this Kesler just a full back/defender though.

Similar style to TAA, real athlete too.

Is Da Costa a Muslim? His name is surely a Christian name!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

He was injured (ankle).

I thought that was the reason given for the Millwall game? The Huddersfield one he just seemed to be missing from the squad. My understanding was that he rolled his ankle in training after Huddersfield but before Millwall.

Either way, his injury record this season has been appalling.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

I quite like Da Costa. I mean, he hasn't been great by any stretch of the imagination, but I really think there's a player in there somewhere. Whether that's a player good enough for the Championship is debatable.

And as others have said, we have Burroughs and Eccles who've both got the potential to cover for Dabo if he gets injured, so it doesn't feel like the most pressing gap in the squad to fill (assuming both can consistently step up to the level).

Can you see Da Costa going?

He certainly looked more assured after that awful game he had...against QPR? Seemed like he was given some strict instructions about defending.
I think it’s fair to say he looks better going forward.

 

[better days]

Not sure
Apart from Hamer the players we brought in from Europe haven't made a positive impact
I suspect Robins would like to farm them out but it might be easier said than done

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Would take him if he can play left side

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[blunted]

Anyone know his contract situation? On a long deal or just one year. A player just too good to miss or a false rumour?

I think there's a player in there for sure but he needs some serious coaching to get him to where we need him to be.

 

[Cov kid 55]

Is he worth the effort? Not only is he erratic and appears to have limited defensive abilities, he’s also injury prone. Think we need to be upgrading Dabo’s cover.

Signed his first pro deal last summer & is one of Villa's top prospects. Captains their U23s at 18yrs old & was in England U19 squad.
No chance of a permanent if that's what you were hoping!

 

[shmmeee]

Maybe harsh because of injuries but Dabo didn’t blow me away when he played last season, if this kid is better bring him in even if it would probably be at the bottom of the list for positions we need to strengthen.
