dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Interesting signing this. I think people have, understandably, expected that he's coming in to keep his bro happy. But having already made his first team debut and with a bit of seasoning at League One level behind him, he can't be here to **** around. He kinda has to hit the ground running, or his stay will be a short one. Mission accomplished so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I agree. I think we have such a wealth of experience ( and data) around these young players now that we know how things went wrong in the past. He is a big strong lad with a load of skill albeit less flashy and smooth than his brother. I think this is the same kind of project as Keinan Davis who came from left field. They tried to turn him into a premier league striker but he just couldnt be prolific enough. This improving players mantra is well and truly underway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's is 100% not here to make up the numbers - too good for the U23s really, looks like a man against boys. Wouldn't surprise me if he went on loan somewhere as it's not easy to get game time up front for the first team right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis loan, keep Chuk2, even if he doesn't get any minutes, just working with INgs and Ollie will make him great.

Tbh, I'd sell Davis and Wesley when we have the chance (i.e. a decent offer). For a side that often lines up 4-3-3, I'm very happy with Watkins, Ings and Caleb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And possibly Brad Young looks interesting, a mixture of Watkins and Weimann. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is what having a properly run club feels like, splendid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a sick turn to set up Caleb for hat trick He's 19, looks like he has a lot of talent but was signed in May and released by them this summer. The only reason I could see why from the game the other day was that he doesn't look like much of a team player - he was trying to do everything himself and would get into trouble after beating a man or two, as he'd end up in a blind alley. It could be because he was trying very hard to showcase his talents and impress, but he just seemed a little immature - especially compared to others his age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osirus Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just watching the highlights of the U23 8-0, Caleb reminds me a lot of Kodjia (the good parts) Would be great to see him and Carney playing for us at the top level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Wesley & Davis offloaded, we would still have Ings, Watkins, Caleb & Archer to cover the forward positions, and maybe even Young depending on how he develops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a real talent. And with all the greatest respect to Northampton he is now getting 5 star coaching . As i said before he is the new Keinan and a project for the coaching team as physically and skills wise he has huge potential. Just need to hone that raw talent like we did with Gabby . He will be 1st teqm squad by the start of next season. Iknow we have been bigging up Brad Young and Louie Barry for a while but Chuk 2 and Cameron Archer might be the strikers that come through instead . Shows that you just never ever know . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
