tinker Posted January 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2021 He's too good to be a squad player and needs game time now to develop into a top class 1st team player. He needs to loaned out or sold with a buy back clause or large sell on fee (which would be my preference) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I was all for him being involved in the match day 18 getting the odd minute here and there along with training with the first team and getting valuable experience that way. If he isn't going to get on the bench on the regular as Southampton might indicate then another loan move for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves us with Mcginn, Nakamba, Barkley, Sanson, Luiz and Grealish if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And me, especially with the 9 subs, was hoping for 2 kids added to each bench What we've actually done with the 9 subs is covered more positions, a RB and a LB on there for example Its disappointingly sensible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Previous to the last two games Ramsey had come off the bench four games in a row, his way to first team football isn't as congested as it looks, Luiz and Nakamba are DMs so he's not really competing with them, Grealish will mostly be playing on the left, so that leaves Barkley, McGinn and Sanson, and we're bound to get injuries and suspensions as well. If we do get a few injuries might see Aaron Ramsey or Chukwuemeka involved before the season's over, especially if we get to the stage when we have nothing left to play for.

Johnnyp Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'd be shocked to see him go out before the deadline but Sanson's arrival may of changed the dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2021 I think we've got six decent options now in the middle of the park for three positions - that's exactly as it should be - Luiz, McGinn, Sanson and Nakamba for the holding stuff, Barkley and Ramsey for the forward stuff - and the best thing about the group is that an awful lot of those players are capable of fulfilling more than one role in our midfield. Oh, and we still have Jack for emergencies! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Should have passed it to Trez when he ran through them. But can't blame him for going for glory. Good cameo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had space to bring it forward a bit more before taking the shot. The bit of skill to take it away from the Arsenal guy was very nice though. He has a bright future. He's got a big frame too so when he fills out a bit he'll be well able for the PL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2021 Every single time he comes on, he is close to scoring. I'd be very interested to see him have a full game with our strongest team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure he will start a game vs the bottom three. He should be, he’s shown he’s good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm surprised he got on today, fair game to Smith he sees something I'm him and I reckon with a bit more compsure he would have scored today, just like his other cameo appearances. This kids a bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 He had a simple pass on, and an almost certain goal. It was a bad decision to shoot. Still he has promise. Surprised he came on ahead of Luiz though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I loved his cameo today. Switching with Barkley allowed us to maintain our shape for the counter without sitting too deep and inviting further pressure. He had a lot of energy in terms of his pressing also which was absent as Barkley ran out of steam. His dribbling and effort (though not the right choice) demonstrates the talent and confidence he has. Really excited to see what he brings moving forward. Good sub from Dean.

MaVilla Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) i thought he looked good today, that little roll/step over to allow the shot was class. also, it was noticeable how much he tracked back and worked, excellent stuff.....not just the forward stuff.... Hopefully he continues to develop, he is going to be a good part of the squad next season i reckon. Edited February 6, 2021 by MaVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Maybe Barkley has been bought in to allow JJ to develop a little and learn from Ross in training. What I like about him is how in every appearance he's been in goal scoring positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
