That said he is under 21 himself and looked like a man playing against children to be honest. This ^^ As an U21 himself, FDB looked a class above a Premier League Team’s U21s. Encouraging signs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 He turned 20 this year, I think if he came through our academy we would be lauding him more than we do. Hopefully he gets a chance to play in the league and impresses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem.... i was hoping a few like him Waldock Hagan would have gone out on loan because there not gonna get much game time. Brennan i think has a better chance as Dunkley is a walking injury, and both Iorfa and Hutch are not adverse to it so he could get some game time.

DeBilde'sTea Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Admittedly I only watched the highlights but he looked great other night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlicer Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 He has come from Man City’s academy, an academy that throws money around like is going out of fashion, but also one where the players must have something about them. Tuesday night I was very impressed with him. He was head and shoulders above the newcastle players that were a similar age. as others have said, if he was one of our own I think he would have a few more people screaming for him to start. It’s going to be tough for him to break into the first team in the league but he will get plenty of chances in this cup and other cup competitions, and if he plays like he did Tuesday, he is certainly giving himself a fighting chance. well done, scout Att 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unrealistic IMO and if he does he'll have good players around him to help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 He looked about 1000X more effective than patterson has ever looked, hopefully moore didnt have his sunglasses on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel. Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I thought he’d be the prospect that Adeniran is in midfield. It would be good if the two of them competed for that role. But it seems like FDB will be part of the attacking mid/wingers and it’s congested in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Is he too good for a non league loan (with recall)? Probably, but would definitely be of benefit to all concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourteenerOwl Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I worry about FDB in terms of his intelligence during the game. For me, he has far more potential than Shaw did. He could be miles better. He is strong, powerful and skillful. However, I don't think he reads the game very well at all or makes the right decisions often enough. To many times when he should turn and run into space, he dithers and passes it back or gets the ball caught under his feet. The game often passes him by too as he can get caught in wrong positions and for a CM he really does drift too much. He is probably our most talented youngster in terms of his attributes, hopefully the intelligence side of things will come with experience. Should be sent out to League 2 now on loan to learn his craft. He could be brilliant for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has some eye-catching attributes which suggest he has potential but at the moment he's not someone who would improve our more likely starting 11. He might be able to fill in if required and not look too out of place but for me he doesn't think quickly enough, doesn't move the ball quickly enough so he slows things down and gets caught in possession. Although he usually has the strength to keep hold of it, the move has already broken down. He's not much younger than Adeniran, who has a similar style but is already a first-team regular. A loan would do him good but can we afford to let him go if Luongo is so often absent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 He’s behind bazza wing adenrian Byers and massimo , may as well loan with recall option to league 2, let him develop and mature looks a talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
