Is this a case of 'beggars can't be choosers' ? Not sure another novice academy youngster is the answer

Kobie Moore son of Stefan Moore - once of this parish !

Ideally we get a proven in but we appear to have failed in that task. Hard to get good players in anyway but more so now than compared to summer.
Providing they’re ready for a physical battle they’ll be ok. If they have the impact Reynolds has then brilliant.
But let’s not likes of hesketh and Cadogan who clearly were no where near ready for that battle

I don't think it's Kobi.

I'd be happy with one of those. Have to be really.

Can confirm theres a new lad training with us and if its meant to be the lad from villa looks closest to charlie lutz. not too sure though

can now confirm charlie lutz has been loaned from villa. been confirmed with them a few days apparently

been speaking to someone who knows someone that plays for villa. said villa have had it confirmed a few days now. seen him down at the training ground today too

Well if that’s the level of aspiration the club has, no disrespect to the lad but is he a better option than Kobe hall. I’m baffled that the club have lost or not thought a player fits in, I’m sorry buts that’s desperation! Hope the lad proves me wrong

JJ Melligan Riley Reynolds mark Clyde Wes Morgan Andy bishop Joe Foulkes Ben Whitfield all young lads who did well. Let’s not panic though I get the requirement for a more experienced proven player. This issue should have been addressed in the summer

id of rather an experienced player but the scouts/ brown must’ve seen something in him that fits the style of play and looks good to sign him unless it’s just last resort

Lutz had scored once in six appearances for Villa U21s this season.

Smacks of desperation imo. Yes, we’ve had some successful loans over the years but also countless players making little impact. We need someone who knows the level, who can come in and hit the ground running, cope with the physical demands of this league and take the goalscoring pressure off Hemmo and Amari.

If this 20 year old can come and do this (in what will be his first senior loan I think ?) then he’s going to be some player.

believe he’s been injured for a while tho

Doesn't sound overly promising. I think Ibbotson was banging them in at that level(?) and wasn't quite good enough... Lutz isn't banging them in at that level.

Update: Looks like he scored more goals in previous seasons, including a hat-trick against Alvechurch.
