Crazy really as he was only a kid, was one of our best players at that time and moved on to have a really consistent career in the top flight.

I remember Brunt warming up in front of South stand when he was a sub and he received some right abuse from some fans. Whelan had a dodgy spell and was left out of side for a while (think it was under Sturrock) and it looked like he was done at club but he fought his way back into side and became a very good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 3 hours ago, room0035 said: No what I said was we don't develop from under 18 to the first team, Thorniley came from Everton youth team and Wildsmith was already in the first team set up. Yes Dawson came through and Penney played a dozen games, but that's it nothing else. Baker, Neilson, Jack lee, Fraser Preston all pick up from other youth set ups. We are simple not developing the kids, which means something is not right between 18-22 in the club's development structure. If we don't get better at producing players we will continue to be uncompetitive in this league. Sometimes the kids just aren't good enough, sometimes they are. It's not a productiojn line they don't all come off the end as a finished product. Personally I don't care if we bring someone through all the way from the U 8's to the first team or pick up other teams cast off under 23's. What matters is we bring through one every year or even one every couple of years. We've neglected the youth for donkeys years and it will take a while to sort it out. It's still early days.

Aneke yes as I think he’s got a touch of class to go with his pace and directness. But if we go with a front 3, I’d rather see forestieri, fletcher and harris. Although I believe Aneke could have been a solid squad player if we are in for Aarons again on loan I’d be happy with that instead though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I am hard to please when it comes to Wednesday transfer rumours, but I’d be more than happy to take Onomah back. The kid has got talent, loads of it Yes it’s fair to say, we didn’t see too many signs of that talent last season, but he was hampered by injury. Like Joao, he lacks consistency, but they have potential to reach a level, some of our more limited players could only dream of. With regular game time, hopefully that consistency will come. Certainly I don’t buy into any of this “he’s not bothered, he just strolls around” business. In the early days of his career, similar things were said about Chris Waddle, mainly due to his gait, and laid back style. If Onomah can blossom into a fraction of the player Waddle was, we’ll all be happy. If the price is right, he’s worth a punt, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you just have to Check The Technique to see that a player like Onomah has Skills, and as long as he's prepared to put in the necessary Work, then he should go on to have a Mass Appeal with our fanbase. Only time will tell, but I sense we're approaching the Moment Of Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 If we were spending money on any of last years injury prone loan players then Lazar (sp?) would be the one I’d gamble on. You could see the lad had genuine ability, a bit of pace and a good work ethic. He’d make a cracking wingback at this level if he could ever stay fit. I know you should not judge players by the amount of minutes Lazar played for us but he just seemed to instantly ooze class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bruce makes a signing that doesn't work out for us then by all means debate it. It hasn't happened yet so I will give him the benefit of his knowledge and experience in being one of the most successful managers at this level. very true ,you have to back the manager ….that's why I find it strange that so many say fox is useless and shouldn't be in the squad yet bruce kept picking him , it's like we know best and the manager hasn't got a clue which is probably not true .
