mikeyp102 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He’s pacey (which is needed) and got a decent shot on him. Apart from that I haven’t seen much from him, but I didn’t realise he was only 20. Hopefully Smith can get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Glad to see him return. It’s like Albert’s form will never return so I’d have him in definite contention from the bench and hope he impresses. His main thing is staying injury free, he’s been quite unlucky in that respect!

Reivax_Villa Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think he is a very talented individual. He should have never gone out on loan for us to bringing Bolasie on loan. He scored an amazing goal against Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Albert still here? The one that was a football player? That could beat players, score goals? Not seen him for **** ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He has good ability, if he stays injury free he can become a good player for us, I'm delighted he's back in the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Have never seen him do much for a game. Personally would be surprised to see him play ahead of El Ghazi or Bolasie. Possibly Adomah based on recent showings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich last season he was pretty good though Davis performance took the headlines. Think he got injured after that and we rarely saw him since.

I just know I've seen him on a few occasions and he never left much of an impression. At the same time he was never noticeably poor either. At 20 he's still a baby. Some athletes professional careers don't become noteworthy 'til they hit 30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I have seen him play he has looked awful. Happy to give him another chance though. How many times have you seen him play then? I rate him highly, I think he has showed that he is really talanted. Has got good technique, a sweet left foot and looks like an intelligent player, not the kick and run or rush winger but a passer with awareness who can fit in a system. IIRC there were rumours of Saints and Spurs tracking him, which says much about his potential. He had a bad injury and said himself it affected him afterwards in the way that he was cautious and afraid he'd tore it up again when he played. Hopefully he is back to full fitness, builds up his confidence and can kick on. He's still young and can certainly improve. Funny that he's only 20, feels like he has been with us for ages. Very happy that he's back, if he can get in form I'd like to see him be a starter or at least give him a run in the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Decent player and one for the future - given our current excess of winger options I would have let him develop there for the rest of the season TBH. - But we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 He's got quick feet, he's quick, his crossing is ok, he gets in good positions and he's got a decent shot - He really needs to work on his positioning and game management though, which is why he drifts out of games. If Smith can work on that with him, he'll be a cracking player - he's got all the natural abilities you'd want for a winger - pace, trickery and power.

Skruff Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Might as well have bumped one of the others youth players up? Instead of disrupting his loan. I guess that they have plans to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a very lovely young man and has a lovely smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
