Lord Snooty Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 For everyone the game 'clicks' at a different stage, no matter what their potential. Owen Clicked early. Ian Wright clicked late. I wouldn't be writing him off just yet. I think I'm right in thinking his father was 23 before he'd hit double figures in a season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm right in thinking his father was 23 before he'd hit double figures in a season? 22 23 I think, he was much better than George is at the same age. I mean, David Hirst was a complete package by George’s age and would have scored goals and been the main striker at any club in the top division. He was that good! I, like most, kept a eye on George Hirst today and I Thought he was quality and was one of their best players. I also thought number 17 looked decent, who and how old is he and would he be available in the summer? I would like us to go for young and hungry league one players. Definitely over old “has beens” who are richer than all of us put together. why would they even give a poo? young and hungry all day long for me.

Stablished Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 George Hirst is much improved since I saw him turn out for toy town. I particularly liked his movement today. I think he’ll come good especially at championship level. That Scott Twine though. What a player he is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Definitely a top end championship player minimum Tore the championship apart with his zero goals in 31 appearances for Rotherham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I found it reight funny to see a Wednesday fan booed by the Kop after scoring and a a Blade get a standing ovation by the Kop after being subbed Strange times 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s still getting decent money and is getting game time by going out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory will have to manage his game due to age, hirst should be FULL of movement energy and have bags of match longevity in those young legs Yep and he’s scored 13 this season. Not bad going.

SallyCinnamon Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 6 hours ago, TomtheOwl95 said: Really? He's done OK for a team that's finished 10th in League One. It took him a long time to get going as well. Other than the goal, which literally anyone could have scored, what did he do today that suggests he'd be a player a top end Championship club would go in for? 23 years of age, can shoot with both feet, quick, strong, tall, hits the target, good movement, can get the ball out of his feet quickly. Literally has all the attributes to be a top striker. Not saying he will go on to be a world beater, but those attributes will mean someone in the Championship will take a punt on him next season. 23 years old, 13 goals. He’s a talent.

Apparently on 11k per week but Leicester will be footing part of wages. One year left on contract so either LCFC will want him signing a new deal before going out on loan again or may consider selling him. I suspect they'll extend his contract after his recent performances before going on loan to a Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Just read Danny Cowley’s view on George after the match. Seemed to be saying George has really come along in the second half of the season and has the makings of a good number 9 at this level. Well done Danny Cowley for helping to bring the lad along, but I didn’t realise he’s 23. Those comments - while wanting him back next season - don’t make out that George is a player who’ll make it to the top league. For all our hype for the lad, at 23 I’d be hoping for more. Are we building him up more than we should because he’s David’s lad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 * not saying he’s not got potential, but there’s a lot of development needed in the lad, and at 23 you’d hope he was further along than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to ship Sow and Kamberi out and bring a Hirst type and a top championship striker in. Look in the championship there are many better strikers than Hirst. With money to spend we can get far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be looking at a different player. Aside from the first 10 mins, he got bullied and marked out of the game. Still lanky with not much mass to him Showed a couple of decent things, but nothing to justify the absolute arse kissing by some of our fans thinking he's the next Messiah. Reckon he might get to the championship at some stage in his career, but Premier League? Showed nothing to even suggest that he's close. If he wasn't already at Leicester I'd even suggest he won't get to play a game in the PL. Players grow at different times in their career I guess though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) He looked decent yesterday and was a handful at time. But lets be honest, miscommunication between Palmer and Hutch gifted him his goal yesterday. Not having a go at either player, but it was a gift.
