macandally Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Twice went past the full back to the byline, used his body well. Thought he looked a decent prospect 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Yep. It’s a game of split opinions. I also thought he was poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted July 20 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20 I thought he was alright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 My takeaway is that he's ready for a loan to a championship team. He needs game experience against men and to work on his decision-making and final ball. He has quite a lot about him but he's young and raw still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post david-avfc Posted July 20 Popular Post Share Posted July 20 He's 18 years old, some people on here talking like it's his last chance to make the grade. I thought he showed some decent touches and looked fairly comfortably physically, he is obviously not going to be anywhere near our first team this season but I thought he looked good enough to suggest he is ready to step out of the youth system and into the world of real football via a loan - apparently some bundesliga clubs are interested, would be a great opportunity for him if true 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vazquez Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Very fast and good in posession. Final touch was somewhat missing. Great prospect, Championship loan I would think as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Any updates on plans for him this year? Do loans get sorted a bit later in the window usually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Maybe too good for U21 level? Championship loan needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Was around the first team squad a year or two back so a loan would be helpful for his development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Shame we cannot utilise our relationship With Vitoria until after the window closes as sending our better younger players to play in Portugal will be a game changer potentially playing first team football at a high level but away front the hustle & bustle of the championship. Next summer I can see us sending players to Portugal to continue their development as long as it fits with their own needs and agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Wasn't in the squad tonight. Going out on loan perhaps @useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea are selling youngster to their french owned side for 19 million We had a 12 month transfer ban after the ruling us and Vitoria couldn't both play in the conference league if I remember correctly? Which also meant our owners reduced their ownership of Vitoria to less than 49% in order to allow both clubs to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I suspect he didn't play for the U21s because he's going to be part of the group travelling to the Leicester game, even if he doesn't make the bench, but with Kellyman departure and Iling going out on loan, he's suddenly not far away from the first team squad. Hopefully news of him signing a new contract isn't far away 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As season goes on and players get injured or miss training you need these U21s to fill in as part of the training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In America, they actually pay a set of players purely for their 'practice squad' so they can train the main squad to be game ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
