Third one signs a cracker. 50 yards from goal, slips his man, goes past three other defenders, and beats the keeper to score. Sounds like his Dad. If we let him go, it will be amongst the daftest mistakes we've ever made. I agree as usual. I cannot fathom why we do not get him some first team exposure. I too would prefer his mobility to a static Nuhiu and would hate to lose him. Rooney hadnt bulked up aged 16 when he scored for Everton in the premier league. Loaning to League 1 or 2 is a nonsense as he is more likely to get little ref protection and will see lumps kicked out of him. Sign him on a proper contract - otherwise the Leicesters and the Evertons will continue sniffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 In young George, we have a striker who held his form throughout last season, at a variety of domestic and indeed international level. My in view is that he needs 1st team experience and soon, otherwise another season of u23 play and the odd sub appearance is going to make his decision to leave that much easier. I appreciate in the pecking order of strikers he is down the list, but at done point we have to see what we gave actually got, or risk loosing him to flourish elsewhere.

Big Jack Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We need to get him to sign a new contract and get him on a sixth month loan to somewhere like Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pals in the England squad are reportedly on around £10k a week as they're at Premier League clubs. Hirsty's argument will be he can get that cash too if he moves clubs. Big decision for the club - pay him what his peers earn and keep him, but probably p*ss senior players off who aren't even paid that. Or pay him a salary any other 18yo prospect in the Championship would get and risk losing him. Hoping the answer is somewhere in between cos paying a kid £10k a week at our level is bonkers!!

Rolling a defender is becoming a forgotten art. I remember seeing him do it at Millwall once, pure bliss. Also on the TV against Hull. You're right, it's not so prevalent now. Shame.

They could promise him a leaving fee to make up the difference when/if he joins another club or retires. Is a big decision both for him and the club, what ever happens the club is dammed what ever they do unless he becomes the star we all hope he becomes. The temptations must be massive for him both now and if successful in the future, hope he can find the right path through such a maze of opportunities and he stays level headed.

Rhodes Hooper Fletcher Winnall None of the above Thank you Hooper if anyone...he's not strong enough atm to play with his back to gaol all the time BUT...he runs the channels well and his running off the ball is great. There is no point in him going to a club that doesn't play as we do...getting lumps kicked out of him in the lower leagues may halt or god forbid end his career Edited July 26, 2017 by daveyboy66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Start him right from the opening game. The kid scores goals and could be a world beater . We will never know if we dont stick him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hirst could be a great player, but it's coming to the point where Carlos needs to pick him just to show the fans he isn't ready. People also might begin to realise what Nuhui offers the team as well. When Hirst walked round the pitch at the end of last season he looked like a stretched mascot. I fear an experienced lower league centre half would snap him in two. Hirst is a very good example of why reserve team football should be brought back. He's obviously out grown sanitised youth football, but isn't ready for the men's game just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never know if we dont stick him in. That's OK if you don't mind us dropping points that might cost us promotion at the end of the season. I'm all for Hirst playing in the first team if he's better than what we've got (even as good as would do) but on last seasons evidence he's not ready. Nurture the lad, have a bit of patience, loan him out if need be. Just make sure he signs a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
