Watched the U23s a few times this year and him and Rory Holden have both immediately stood out as players playing below their level. who hasent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets a run out on the weekend and hasn't scored 20 by Christmas next season, there will be an element on here who will write him off. Ridiculous statement I'd only expect 15 by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut holds particular significance for me as he was the first player to play a 1st team game for City who was born after I was. Raheem Sterling holds the same accolade but for England.

Shtanley Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Tbf I've seen Sam Pearson a few times for the u23s and he did look good. Both Twins are seemingly rated, who were the last set of brothers to play simultaneously for City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM88 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I’m always wary of a young player coming out of nowhere to make their debut. It often results in not very much. Just ask, is it worth a 16 year old being put in for their debut if they’re not likely to play again for another 2 or 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, potentially used to show young players what hard work can earn, and to demonstrate that they’ll be noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've still got a Cat 2 academy, can Cat 1s still pinch out players? We could have kept Rolando Aarons if we'd offered him a contract. We didn't so he found someone else..

Davefevs Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 7 hours ago, Olé said: A winger from the Under-16's? LJ really will go to any extreme not to play Eliasson. Tyreeq Bakinson (who lets not forget is alleged to have cost us £500k) was billed as someone we would see this season, and this is the last chance. He won't break our age record, but I'd be amazed and disappointed if he's not involved on Sunday, as he stood out a mile the few times I've seen him. Haven’t listened to the interview yet, but if this kid starts in front of Eliasson (unless he’s one of the injured), then it is a massive piss-take imho. There is one thing training with the first team and actually playing. Baldwin was training with the first team regularly, and apart from travelling with the squad, never got in the 18 as far as I know. Why are we only hearing about him now? I love to see the kids come through, gives the home support something to look forward to, and of course he could be the next star, but this has come from nowhere. Sorry to take such a dim view of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexukhc Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Remember when Morrell made his debut he came off at half time and that was the last we really saw of him, until this season on loan to a league two team he’s really battled on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't so he found someone else.. Even he has said it was the right decision for him to be released because he needed the kick up the backside. Not entirely sure it's worked completely though. Currently on loan at Verona after failing to kick on at Newcastle and recently appeared in court to plead guilty to affray, sentencing to take place on May 22nd.

RedM Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Loads all over social media about Sam Pearson making his debut, so much out there that I can’t think it won’t happen now. Great for him, but as others have said there are players who have been patiently (or not) waiting their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
