Martin Kelly

[fowler9]

not seen it mentioned on here but he is in the England u21 squad

 

well done to him

[WaltonRed]

Well done.

 

I've high hopes for young Martin

[James]

I'd rather see him play tonight, instead of Cavalieri. The lad's got potential, all the best to him.

[Ted]

He's a good player is Kelly; but I think he'd be wasted in goal.

[Al Campbell]

He's a good player is Kelly; but I think he'd be wasted in goal.

 

He could be our new Stephane Henchoz.

[PaulMcC]

I think he could be a top player. If he stays fit.

 

He reminds me abit of Markus Babbel.

[Guest LFD]

Shelvey should have also been selected.

[Original202]

Seems a long time since we had someone in the under-21 squad.

 

Who was the last one? Carson?

[Carradona]

Very good performance again tonight from Martin. Composed on the ball and put in a few good crosses with his left foot.

 

Defensively, he was excellent. Always there to clear up any dangers and that block/tackle at the very end reminded me of something Carra does all the time.

 

After Cole, he was my MOTM tonight.

That just about sums it for me. Has looked quality everywhere in the back four.

[Red Phoenix]

Thought the same, and was well chuffed for him.

[Carradona]

I would have no problems if he was to start against Arsenal at left back. He looks solid and has experience of playing there from when he was on loan at Huddersfield.

[rebel23]

Great to see another English player coming through I predict big things for him

[Brownie]

I really like him. He seems to be a good footballer as well as a good defender.

 

Definitely one to watch in the coming years.

He can do no worse than Insua.

[danperkins]

Class act and streets ahead of Insua for LB slot, this guy will be a star IMO, hope he stays injury free.

[fowler9]

He has looked okay at his natural centre back position but i actually think he has done better when played in either full back position

[WaltonRed]

He'll win a full cap by the end of the season

[Bear77]

Providing he stays fit he will be a class player, delighted to see him selected again tonite.

JC's long term replacement

[redsfan]

Having watched him few times now, I think the kid is ready. Not only his composure and footballing ability, but physically he is ready to. He is one big lad in comparison to players like Darby who were told to build muscle.

 

Watching him tonight you would never think he was a young kid coming through. Yes he will have his weaknesses under pressure in games but from what I have seen, he is looking good and I think Hodgson is seeing that.

[Wor Horse]

He'll be some fucking centre back. Talk about ball playing.

[Maldini]

He's as good a prospect as Rodwell IMO

[ElNino_9_TheKid]

I think he's a fantastic prospect from what I've seen of him.

 

Is his best position definately going to be Centre Back?

[RobbieOR]

JC's long term replacement

 

Wasn't Wilson meant to be Carra's replacment?

 

We've got a good few young players coming through all the same. Kelly, Patches, Wilson, Shelvey, Dalle Valle. Even if they dont make it we will make a profit on them anyway. Kelly is a star in the making.
