May-Z Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Looks like he could see some minutes before the end of the season. Build like a tank in the same way 16 year old Rooney looked mid-20s.
VillaAlex Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 He's very confident, senior players seem keen to pass to him too which is always promising especially at 16!
DJBOB Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Quick lad too. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few first time appearances from him. We naturally lack width and he seems a natural winger who looks to stand on the byline and attack the fullback.
MWARLEY2 Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 He could be very good. But he is only being promoted because we have 1 winger lets face it. Nothing bad in him getting this experience though and fair play to Emery for not trying to put squares in round holes.
brummybloke Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Lad looks rapid, he also doesn't look out of place against men. Unless we sign a winger in jan, I would be keeping him around the 1st team squad giving him 15 or 20 mins here and there. Certainly more direct down the right with him there, put in 3 decent crosses to yhe far post in his limited amount of time.
OutByEaster? Posted December 16, 2022 Moderator Posted December 16, 2022 It's interesting that he's being described as a winger - I think he can play as a wide forward, but I reckon he'll spend his career as an out and out front man. He looked bright, confident and capable last night and like he enjoyed himself - that's the biggest crowd he'll ever have played in front of and for much of the time he was trying to beat a full back for the right to go one on one with Pau Torres - that didn't seem to intimidate him at all. Promising, but there's plenty of time yet. 4

Lupinthe5th Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 He's 17 next month I think He dont look out of place at all when he comes on. Like a seasoned pro

Promising, but there's plenty of time yet. I was about to post the question if he can play as a striker. He certainly has the build, strength, speed, touch and technique to mix it with the biggest and strongest of centre backs.
