Anyone have any footage/highlights of him in action?

I've seen him play in 5 or 6 u18 games, in those games he looked the real deal for me, superb confidence and vision and ability to play a killer precise pass for someone of his age.

 

I went to the game at Newcastle reserves and was even more impressed, they resorted to hacking him in the end but even then sometimes he managed to stay strong, on his feet and avoid challenges, as he grows he will inevitably get stronger and be ready physically for the premiership.

 

Think of Fabregas when he was 17 at Arsenal he got bullies and battered in a lot of games but he grew as a man and a player.

 

I would say he reminds me a bit of Iniesta with a better long passing game and a better shot.

 

I think he's the real deal absolutely but a lot can happen at that age to affect your career, he has to be mentally right as well as physically to progress, the talent is there no question.

Don't want to jump the gun here, but he may just be the greatest player of all time and, if he doesn't start on Sunday, Hodgson should be sacked.

[Pidge]

Signed his professional deal on Friday. 3 year deal.

[WaltonRed]

Great news.

 

I'd love to see him on the bench in the odd game

[dennis tooth]

Signed his professional deal on Friday. 3 year deal.

 

Not long enough which begs the question can we resist the attempts by more illustrious opponents such as Northampton Town and Trabzbanspor to muscle in and sign him up under Roy?

[Pidge]

Pretty sure it's the terms of the pre-contract deal he signed in 2009. Four year deal offered to a then-15 year old seems fair enough. Need to get him blooded and offer an extension soon though.

[Joso]

I'm probably talking out of my ass but aren't 17 year olds only allowed to sign for 3 years.

[Pidge]

I'm probably talking out of my ass but aren't 17 year olds only allowed to sign for 3 years.

 

As a 17 year old he's a professional and can sign whatever he wants, but maybe that is the case with pre-contract agreements with kids under professional age.

He's shite

He's shite

 

A thread about a player cannot be considered a thread about a player until this is written.

[Guest San Don]

I think the lad should be given chance to develop and not rushed or put under undue pressure.

 

He's a young lad making his way in a very tough profession. Hopefully he wont be overburdened with the weight of expectation.

You could say that Rooney was also making his own way at this age......

 

 

To see prozzies who were loser than a blue whale that is:eek:

I think a move to Fulham or West Ham as part payment for Zamora or Carlton Cole in January is more likely.

[PaulMcC]

If he doesn't make it here, we might as well give up trying to bring through attacking players.

 

Concentrate on hardworking, committed but ultimately not very talented players.

[Jules Winnfield]

reminds me of a black over-weight sean dundee

Agreed. Players who would no doubt flourish under Wenger at Arsenal.

He won't ever fulfil his potential if Hodgson doesn't leave.

Spot on mate, Suso's your typical Spanish flair player, technically he looks out of this world for his age. He will however suffer imensely under Roy.

[Salou]

I haven't heard as many good things being said about so many of our youth players in a very long time, Suso included. If 2 or 3 of this crop don't make it with us then serious serious questions and decisions need to be made about what is going wrong be that with Roy or any other manager that is in charge.

[Guest TK-421]

Roy probably tortures the young players for fun in his spare time, just the impression I get.

[Walton Park]

Just like his predecessor I suppose.

[Jose Jones]

Just like his predecessor I suppose.

 

Exactly.

Except Rafa used to pick on all the scouse kids, he'd shout at them in Spanish to bring him Jaffa Cakes and when they didn't know what he was talking about he'd kick them out of the club.

Whereas Roy hates the foreigners - he makes them pick up the dog dirt from the training pitch with their bare hands.
