No mention of how massive the club is. However he does say he can't wait to get started. Not as strong an opening 15 seconds as Mehmeti. Bonus point for mentioning a "whirlwind 24 hours" though. Listen to the 90min interview and you will realise that he is not your typical pro saying all the expected and insincere buzzwords. As Fevs notes, not a product of the academy system and he seems all the better for it, that is from his development perspective, although I agree that for most the academy is the way to go.

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Is it true that he has a long throw on him too? We've not had that for a while really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m about 30 mins in, and although you can’t judge a player from an interview, this really is a fantastic insight into him. Thanks for sharing. It's a very unusual story! The secret to his success is not being ambitious The fact that he could only do 10 kick ups when he was a young player makes me feel so much better about myself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned that referees don't give Bristol City enough penalties for a professional football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 The major point that I got from that superb interview, is that he grew up loving football but with an ordinary life alongside like most of us. So until he was between childhood and a young adult, football wasn't the be all of his life. It makes me wonder if a life of Academy football from 8 or 9 years is the best way to develop the pros of tomorrow. I can see a good spell here at City for Harry and I'd bet money that he will be another like Nahki Wells who wants to help the young ones rather than being afraid that they will take his place in the team. NP and Tinman have picked up a gem for next to nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focal point of the three So big Nige revealed in his pre-Norwich press do-dah that he sees Cornick as the central striker in the front 3 which puts him in direct competition with Wells. He speaks about Cornick as follows: "...he will offer a very interesting threat for us down the middle, just because of his aerial prowess, his ability to run, and he's got good pace too." Also fair to say that Nige perks up when talking about Cornick and Mehmeti, as though he's a bit excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
