If that was the case would he be coming here on a free and to us. A German team would have snapped him up to develop. I understand what you mean though it's better that he comes from there then say Norwich as the level of coaching and the way he would have been taught to play technically, would be of a higher standard. So that does bode well for the future. But I also get why some are saying that we are getting abit carried away about a lad that's not played a professional competitive match, has he? So what every player we sign under 20 we jump for joy and start singing "All hail Garry Monk". Edited July 28, 2020 by pazowl55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let's hope he turns out a bit better than the last Manchester City academy product we signed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I’m mistaken we have Bannan, Joey, Luongo and thats it. With Hunt and Shaw coming through. Considering we play three centre mids that’s Fairly threadbare?? Also in Midfield we have Reach and Harris. We have been playing three at the back which has not worked out well and needs to change which would obviously come from having a more normal 442. In that case we would have 3 players for 2 positions, not saying a 4th would not be a good thing however when you look at other areas. We have only one striker We have 3 keepers, 2 are not up to standard and the other is frozen out. We have a few options in defense but definitely need another to cover LB and RB. Midfield is probably the best of a bad bunch was my point. The young lad will be a risk, sometimes they work out and fingers crossed he does, I could not even find a Wiki page for him but does not appear to have much first team experience (Has he been out on loan?)

As I’ve said before I wouldn’t be surprised to see some more departures, this time of under contract players and I could see anyone or two of Bannan, Reach and Pelupessy leaving?

SiJ Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Perhaps Monk will do a Turner? That being, assembling a young, decent squad for a good manager to come in and get the best out of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This is the TYPE of signing we have neglected for too long , but everyone saying its a GREAT signing should probably wait until we have seen him play.....................hopefully they are right.

dumboldowl Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 He says he likes power, strength, and pace, and likes to go box to box. With those attributes even if he can't hit a barn door with a bucket He'll be an improvement on half of our Zombies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
