SirSteveUK Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I agree with SGC most of the time re the young players - RHM is a talent - at wide forward/winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, RHM is a central striker, he’s too good a finisher to be playing on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think RHM best position is either on stage we a microphone in his hand, or on the catwalk with a jacket thrown over one shoulder. You see he is a lovely young man, very funny and has a great personality and a winning smile No, but seriously I do think he has a chance to make it. Big two years for him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think the academy is rubbish? Andre Green is beginning to look a player as I expected after his loan spell. I think he’ll go on and cement himself in the first XI and of course we have Grealish who I nearly forgot about, he’s probably the best player I’ve seen come through the academy. We also have Rushian Hepburn-Murphy who is currently on loan at Cambridge United who I expect will go straight in our first XI when he comes back from his loan I think your sarcasm detector is broken. I was gobsmacked that 4 was considered a poor return, especially seeing as right now 4 prem quality players coming out of our academy would be incredible news considering how much we would need to pay out (hello FFP) for the same quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Hope Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 He is another typical over-hyped product of our flagging academy....this is an area that drastically needs to be overhauled properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually followed by some daft comment about having met them, how nice looking they are or some other irrelevance before proclaiming them the greatest player ever, it’s just a bit silly and boring and done in my view purely for effect.

To be fair while anyone can go, most people don't so it is fairly useful to have some insight on the young players for those of us that don't, it's just not so useful when that insight is that every single player in our youth academy is brilliant and also really nice and funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just saying every player is amazing is as counter productive as saying every player is awful. You can also like a player, think he's really good, but think that he won't make it for us because he's probably more suited to lower leagues The discussion earlier was that we had 4 players from our acadamy currently playing in the PL, so we can assume a similar number from our current youth team meaning the vast majority won't make it at the top level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted January 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 Don't get the sarcastic and negative comments, both aimed at the kid and at posters who are just enthusiastic about him as player. Just seems unnecessary tbh. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
