If he stays a list of endless loans with a small chance of breaking into our current elite unbeatable first team !! Hopefully this one will not get away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 If he is wanted by two Prem clubs, why the hell are we not both playing him in our league team and ensuring he is under contract for two/three years? Could we organize a piss up in a brewery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 There are a large number of players who tend to be ‘under-23 stock’. Clubs sign freebies to load up their u23 team in order to be able to loan out their better ones. My inking is that this is an u23-filler for these teams, rather than a total gem we are missing.

Nice to get your take on it mate. Does seem to bang em in though was hopeful he would be one to make the step up with us. are you able to give an opinion on him and his overall game please? you still compiling your own lists and scouting? I appreciate you can’t scout properly by just watching TV but up until the pandemic I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about clubs stocking up on under-23 players so to speak but i have a gut feeling Louis Britton is a bit different.. from the games I’ve seen the boy live for mango’s he looked like he had that bit of magic, the size and power and his undoubted goal scoring record i get a feeling he is going to carve out a decent career.

I agree. I can remember watching Ashley Barnes play for Paulton Rovers a while ago. Not for a moment did I think he'd carve out a decent pro career, let alone in the PL. Britton's following a similiar path out of non-league and it seems to me like he's ahead of where Barnes was at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be too bothered if he goes then? Only seen his highlights but he looks good to me. This is the first unenthusiastic appraisal I've seen of Britton.

Dr Balls Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Tried to find his stats for this season. 10 games, 7 as substitute in the National League and FA Cup, and 1 goal for Torquay. The main difference to most of our squad this season is that he has been playing in winning teams (Torquay - top of the Vanarama; Stockport - 4th) and of the 10 games he’s played, 8 have been victories.

A new job and a young family kinda scuppered my ability to get out and about whenever I wanted. I am still in contact with lots of folks who are still in the scouting biz though, so I obviously still have an interest in assessing players as best I can, but I’m no longer doing anything official. 3 hours ago, bris red said: I know what you mean about clubs stocking up on under-23 players so to speak but i have a gut feeling Louis Britton is a bit different.. from the games I’ve seen the boy live for mango’s he looked like he had that bit of magic, the size and power and his undoubted goal scoring record i get a feeling he is going to carve out a decent career. 2 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: We shouldn't be too bothered if he goes then?

The scout reports that I’ve seen of Louis is that he’s definitely got something, so I am not saying that he won’t make it. Far from it. Just that there are many players of varying abilities who are there to fill up the u23 squads these days so that those clubs can loan out their ‘bigger’ stars to get game time. Louis, according to many scout reports I’ve seen, very much comes alive in the box. He doesn’t contribute much outside of the box and thus it could be hard to justify picking him if he’s not scoring. But he does seem to score. So he’s definitely got something. Just to be clear. I’m not writing him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he'll score if his team mates make chances - in fact he appears to make his own too - but if they can't create them then perhaps they need to be changed for others who can? It's a rare natural ability to be able to stick the ball in the net - and not one we're not accustomed to seeing come through the Academy. We should definitely keep and nurture him imo.

You heard it right here folks, Harry says Britton will never make it as a pro and should look for a new vocation. Harsh words but he can’t unsay it...
