It'll be Dirk not Humphrey if it's 'Bogarde'.

OK did my own googling.

Winston is his uncle.

Played for Bristol Rovers on loan last season. Thats a big jump to make

Whilst I agree about the underwhelming part (based on zero knowledge whatsoever!), Elliot Anderson, currently aged 21 was at Bristol Rovers two years ago and has just been sold for around £30m (different speculation of the fees). They loved Anderson whilst he was at Rovers.
Just playing devil's advocate.........

He's apparently been excellent in preseason for Villa and can play CB and DM.

Southampton wanted him in January but Villa kept him with them. Forest have also been after him recently, he'd be worth a gamble.

 

[Winny the Bish]

He wasn't even good for Bristol Rovers.

2 half season loans for them. Returned to Vile in Jan 2024 with the expectation that he’d go to a championship club but never happened.

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Winston his uncle was at Chelsea for 4 years and only played 9 times. Either unfortunate or a clever fucker

 

[chinamans view]

We are still trying to get one more in before the window closes,

 

[chinamans view]

I dont know if its this guy or not

 

[LastChance]

We are still trying to get one more in before the window closes,

[chinamans view]

He refused to move or be transferred and insisted on seeing his contract out...trained with the academy players ....he was a clever fucker

How many Bristol Rovers matches did you watch?

Can see this happening. Delaney link. Played well for Villa pre season. Can cover in midfield and in defence.

Got the message from a mate who works at Villa.. he mentioned Delaney so might have some legs

 

[Lord_Nampil]

During the crazy Covid season, Villa had to play their U21s against Liverpool in the cup, Bogarde played and for that game Delaney was manager….

What? Your mate's only got legs if he mentions Delaney?

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Boating uses his influence to get BTA, Delaney using his influence now to get Humphries nephew quality he does look a real good player in fairness

 

[wingy]

Could be a novel chant for this guy,watch out watch out there's a Humphrey about!!
Better get him through the door first!

What???
Delaney has 2 legs, no idea how many your mate has?

 

[rexo87]

signing a new contract at Villa according to Fabrizio. Assume he will go on loan

 

[fatso]

Why should we give someone else's player experience?

Sign our own player, we've got nearly 2 weeks left of the transfer window, plenty of time to bring 1 or 2 in.

If he's any good I can't comment, but dont base poor form for someone else that he'll automatically be rubbish for us. Harry Kane on loan was awful as an example. Ayari last season far too raw for us, didnt get many plaudits at Blackburn but very young and clearly something there. Brighton do their homework and paid £6m, he must have trained on as he was in their first team squad (got a couple of minutes and had a goal disallowed). Barry at Stockport was supposedly poor in his previous loan before them. I'm sure there are countless other examples and if Robins sees something in him I'd trust him. He did ok with loans on the likes of Matty James, Liam Walsh, Callum Doyle, Ian Maatsen etc who were all young and those who didnt even always look outstanding like Vik, he saw enough to get him back. Vik, Sheafo and O'hare all signed after positive loan periods, so I'd be inclined to give him a chance.

Try before you buy? Look how it worked out with Vik, Sheaf, COH. Mainstays of the team for a couple of years after their loans. One who's sale has pretty much changed the clubs fortunes for the last 2 seasons.

I'm not saying don't buy, but the loan market can work really well in a club like ours favour.

Yes, ideally. But if money has run out and Vik/Hamer are not on the move then a loan may be the only option
