MWARLEY2 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I just hope that as we bring him through there is plenty of patience. He seems to have all of the tools but he isnt even 18 years old yet. I just hope we do not build him up into another Bellingham because theres a 99 percent chance he will not be . It might be 3 years before he shows all of his talent . Might be even 6 years. He might tail off . And he might turn into the greatest youngster since Gary Shaw. We just need to support him and give him the time to mature . The right pace is at his natural pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's of the required standard, at the moment, and the only way he is ever going to reach that standard is with consistent game time. Chukwuemeka as a 17(!) year old looks a class above anything our youth team have produced since Grealish and he is one of few in that kinda bracket since I have been supporting the club. Cahill is the only other who stands out, or Barry if you count him. So we are talking elite level talent. There's a high bust rate with players of his type, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him break through this season. He will be this seasons Ramsey, only he's a better player, so more likely to end up taking the mantle. This, he is finding the right pockets to play in and has good strength and pace on the half turn. i don’t think he will start, but he will get game time and is more likely to succeed than Jacob Ramsey in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to add the FFS - I have heard the hype, I have seen the cap, but I haven't seen him play many games - respect to his record at his age but show me something he's done that is as incredible as the bandwagon which accompanies his every turn.

Broke into the first team just after 16 birthday, mega money deal to the second best team in Germany at 17, DFB Pokal in first season, Bundesliga Newcomer of the Season award, 7 caps for England including at the Euro finals at 18 and arguably Borussia Dortmunds' best player other than Haaland and Sancho?

I think if you get to watch him play a lot you can see the incredible talent he has which just keeps getting better. Something he’s done is hard to show at this early stage so all I can say is watch him, he’s the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 There’s a reason there’s been loads of interest in this kid. He looks so composed and assured and likes to hunt and press too. Big season for him. Hope to see more of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
