sir_gary_cahill Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Most considerate of you. I'm sure master Crowley will appreciate it I forgot to mention that he's played for Ireland at u16 level also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He's a tricky little customer with unbelievable ability on the ball. Very agilie and twists and turns his way out of all kinds of situations, often coming away with the ball. Another one of our prospects who is tiny, so that is against him but he is still a kid. I think that the Gerrard comparisons aren't necessarily correct, I think he is more similar in style and stature to a Jack Wilshere but of course that is a huge player to compare him to. There is a serious buzz about him around the England camps, he is playing above himself and it is nothing to do with his physique, which is unusual. Definitely got a good chance but there is so much that go wrong between now and the first team, let alone establishing himself, but he is regarded as one of the best players in the country for his age.

sir_gary_cahill Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good post Andy agree with all of it, he probably does play more like Wilshere also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Since when did they have a 15 year old play in their first team? Thought I'd heard they had a couple of 16 yr olds on the bench, we can go one step better and have a 15 yr old (and before anyone says, I don't seriously want to field a 15 yr old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Very excited about this player, he's 15 and plays centre midfield, he made his debut for u18s last season at the age of 14. He made his u16 debut at 12. He made his England u16 debut at 14 and has played for England u17 this season, I think he is superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the heads up SGC, at 15 I won't get too excited, unless he is a very exceptional talent we won't see him for another 3 or 4 years yet. Lets see where he is at 18. Edited January 29, 2013 by Kingfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
