If RHM goes I too would expect him to smash that league and flourish. Be a great move for him, will be chasing 90 yard punts into the channel and pressing an entire back 4 on his own in no time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 4 hours ago, Wainy316 said: I feel like he should've been out on a loan or two already by now. Yup, it's ridiculous to keep a lad at this age not really playing any football, giving him 3-4 sub appearances a year. He should have been getting first team experience at lower league clubs for years by now. The management of our youth prospects has been absolutely appalling for a very long time, it's no wonder so few of them make the step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say. the only match time he's really had is when we've been winding down the game. If he'd failed when out on loan I'd be ready to write him off by this point, but it's bizarre we've just kept him at home not getting any game time.

Farlz Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 hopefully does well, he needed this loan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Good luck to him. At his age, and at that level I'd expect him to be banging them in like Tammy to have any chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted January 11, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well I never. Brilliant stuff, now go and tear that league a new one. That's some player to be getting down at that level, and with Calderwood in charge I'd expect RHM to go straight into the action, because he won't have asked for the player without knowing exactly what he was getting. I shall be watching on with interest 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think some of these comments are harsh to say the least, he’s probably the most talented young footballer I’ve seen emerge from the academy, it’s close between him and Grealish, I think RHM is that good. Not only that, he’s a very nice lad and funny, he’s been on a contract here since he was 13 years old, that’s how highly rated he is, I think he’s brilliant and a very nice lad to boot, I think he will be great for Cambridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hope he avoids the u23 injury plague. as a couple posts back looks short for this level imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YLN Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think the lad would have a chance, in that he definitely has the talent and the attitude, but I fear he might not be a nice lad. Does anyone know if he's funny? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see any attributes that look standout to me. contrast with KD who has attributes big, strong, ability to hold up play. grealish from day 1 had excellent ball control, gabby had pace to die for...in the limited time ive seen him he looks all round average. but as you say ..i am basing that on a few minutes here and there and its just my opinion.

It's literally impossible to know how he will do at Cambridge. I'm hoping it'll be the making of him, a lot will depend on whether or not he can stay fit because up til now he looks very injury prone for such a young player.

OutByEaster? Posted January 11, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2019 A good move and a chance for him to add a little something to all of these opinions - on way or another, we'll know a little more about him in a few months.
