I’m concerned that us fans and the media are putting too much pressure on Madjo. I really hope that he goes on to be a Villa great but let’s have some perspective here. He is a 17 year old lad who is learning his trade. He is not the new Messiah. I too am excited to see him play but let’s not add to his burden by over hyping him.
I intend to enjoy watching him play as he develops and to take the rough with the smooth over the seasons to come.
The same with George Hemmings. He never received the accolades that Madjo did but he too was brilliant against PSG.
Headlines like “Can Madjo play for England?” I find bizarre.
Like most Villains, I will support him while he wears a Villa shirt, however when his form dips, which happens to every player, I hope the fans remember that he is a youngster developing his trade and not the finished article.

100%.
The lad is well and truly in the media spotlight now. I just hope he can keep his feet in the ground and not lose focus. I'm sure Emery will be keeping an eye on him.
