Lanterne Rouge Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I thought he looked pretty good when he came on, always wanted the ball and playing with his head up. I`m pleased he didn`t start if I`m honest. The Barnsley fans seem impressed too according to their forum. Will he be another player who needed to get away from a big club to carve out a decent career for himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we are beginning to see some of these hoovered up youngsters realizing the fact that they need to move on (and set their sights a tad lower perhaps?) if they want to actually play football at a decent level.

Not a bad way of doing it mind , develop in the surroundings of Liverpool’s academy and then go on to carve a career as a first team promat at least L1 / Championship level which is a very decent achievement The secret is the timing / age / to break away IMHO , recognising the reality of first team future , and the adaptation from U23 football to pro first team campaigns , whatever the status of the developing Club Tbf to Herbie , he’s done the development , the (unglamorous) loans , and is still very much a success , with credit above all , to himself and those who have helped his development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not top six but a Burnley or West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 He was good, a big City fan too. Delighted he didn’t start, think he will have a good season with Barnsley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which hopefully we can spin to the next talent coming along as "There's no need to go to Liverpool!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 For £1.25m, he’s a bargain. I’d have liked us to snap him up and ship out Nagy or Pato. I can definitely see him at a lower PL club in 18 months’ time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Didn’t do anything of note for me. Hard to judge off his cameo today if he’s any good, if not for his City affiliation he wouldn’t be getting a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Herbie - but for our current glut of midfield players there must have been a fair chance of him returning to AG this week instead of going to Barnsley.

It's what you expect from certain posters who seem to just post endlessly based on what's immediately in front of them and don't see the need to apply any critical thinking.

Coppello Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 His tweets over the summer were hinting that he would love to come back here although they appear to have been deleted. He is often liking City's social media including tweets about the winning run a couple of weeks ago. No doubt if he kicks on in the future and we free up some space in midfield, we could see him returning. There was no point in signing him this summer with the number of players we need to offload.
