sir_gary_cahill Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 He's an excellent young player I think, it makes me think that we might bringing a centre back into the football club now that we have loaned out our best 2 young ones (Suliman and Mason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think he's somewhere in Di Matteo's plans, whereas the other 2 aren't. I would like to think we're looking to bring another CB in anyway. I hope Mason gets plenty of game time and shows his potential, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It sounds like he is doing quite well there, and has been playing mainly at left back for them. Doncaster are currenty top of their leaguge, so it is nice that he is playing in a winning environment and can hopefully gain promotion with them this season.

How do you know that he's been playing at left back NeilS? I've only seen him in the u23s at centre back quite a few times and he's very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although just double checking and it was The Star - See Below) Star Article Thanks NeilS, I've only seen him at centre back and he's brilliant there. I think it's good to have versatility, particularly in the modern game. I've just seen an interview with his Dad and he says his best position is right back, I've never seen him play there, I don't think Edited January 3, 2017 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa4europe Posted April 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2017 no offence to him but hes 20, not kicked a ball for us and joined doncaster after playing in 50% of their games this season (he'll be in league 1 next year) hopefully we've put some future sell on fees or a buyback or something but other than that dont really see whats to be disappointed about, if he was going to make it here he'd have been loaned out at a higher level or at least sold on to a higher level 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Nial Mason has done the best of all the players we have loaned out but that is like being the tallest Dwarf. The club has to make a judgement and this one could possibly come back to bite us but I don't think it will. Hopefully He will have a career in the lower divisions but we want players who can play in the top division. Hale, Abdo, Sellers and the like, soon to be joined by McKirdy, Cowans, Calder, Toner, Sulliman and several others can't clog up places in the reserves if they are not going to make our First Team. It is very hard but we have to free up spaces for the younger lads and they in turn have a couple of years to make an impact before the next generation will be snapping at their heels. For all the criticism that the club get when releasing young players there are very few who prove the Club wrong. I am not counting Cahill and Davies in this as they both made the first Team and were sold for a fee. If I had to guess at a player who we released that we might regret it would be Jordan Graham but He needs to do a lot more before proving the Club wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from but you don't think Suliman can make the first team? The club gave him a new contract a few months ago, I think they believe in him and I think it's warranted too Edited May 8, 2017 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
