I know he's young but so are a lot of the other players who we're suggesting can make the step up while we're hampered by FFP. We are seriously short on numbers at CB and with Bruce trying out 3 at the back I'm surprised he's not been around the squad I've watched him for the U23's and he's a good player, maybe a little too light weight at the moment and Suliman is slightly ahead of him in his development. It would be good to bring him in for some cup games and see what he can do, it all hinges on if Chester stays, and if we can get another quality centre back in on the cheap to replace JT/Samba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I watched the Derby County friendly on their OS and for me, he looked our best player, he looked very assured and during the first half particularly when we were under the cosh, he impressed me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I thought he was excellent for our u23s earlier today, I think he could be the answer to our centre back problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 For Bruce , a bad old un always tops a good young un. Must be very dispiriting for our young players to see hasbeens like Whelan and Jedinak getting the nod every week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Even if he's ready technically, he'll have a huge jump up physically to first team football at centre half. Be great if he's up to it, never seen him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking a lot for Jacob to come straight in and resolve our problems at the back and I don't want us doing his confidence. That said, we really should have given him a game in the cup whilst we were still in it and he's worth a place on our bench now so we can get a better idea on whether he might be ready for first team football now or shortly.

rodders0223 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't think he is anywhere close to men's football at the minute, purely on his physical size alone. It's the only position where I buy into the belief that you need to be physically ready to play senior football. I think he is miles off at the minute, looks about 11 stone ringing wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa and Mepham aren't the biggest blokes. Both 20. Doing very well for Brentford. But look...this shouldn't even be up for discussion. Bruce will play bolasie there before bedeau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the state of our defense and all that. Other clubs seem capable of letting their youngsters play, we don't for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
