MWARLEY2 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Juat seen the Ramsey goal. I swear he is unreal at scoring. Very rarely a blast. Its like a snooker player.he has this ability to know exactly what angle he is at compared to the keeper and the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Aaron Ramsey is class, not the finished article but he will make it. Josh Feeney very solid, international. Sil OOP as others have said. Chuk2 really good movement, tales his goals well. Baggies LB looks decent. Game is very fast, high intensity. Good Vue for the 3-1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for us because we don't have any senior cover for Douglas Luiz in the DLP role. - Swinkels has a lot about him but just isn't a full back for me. He's a great athlete, good defender, tidy on the ball and can pass, but he's not someone who can drive forward with the ball, which is what we need from our fullbacks with the way we play. Its like playing Laursen at left back . He is a centre back .Problem is we have bought in Feeney who is an even more imposing dominant centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very positive player - much like Iroegbunam - just always looking to bring it forward and make something happen. Love that dynamism.

WHY Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 What’s the trialist been like, it’s a kid called Declan Frith, not sure where he’s from but he had a trial at Chelsea earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have had some great individual talents like Barry & Grealish, and some that got away like Cahill, but i can confidently say i have never seen such a talented group, we have numerous really talented youth players, will be interesting to see which of them make it. On that note, 3 of them have already made it to the first team (Bidace, Carney, J.Ramsey). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying a bit too hard to impress tbh - clearly loves to dribble and bring it forward but he's not looking like a team player, though that could just be down to unfamiliarity with his teammates. He signed permanently for Chelsea in May but was released this summer, bizarrely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel excited as well but i have to temper it a little as the law of averages suggests that most will not make it . However i also feel like our youth set up and DOF are up to something very special. They seem to understand what potential looks like and are going and grabbing it left right and centre. Its like they are looking for a team of players that compliment one another rather than a few stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays like a younger player who hasn't learnt how to be part of a team yet - bit of a worry seeing as he's 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
