Not so sure he is going to feature that much in the short term Please see Alex Scott for reference! Not saying this kid is anywhere near ready, but Scott burst on the scene at 17 so I guess we will see. As the season enters the second half, relegation is unlikely, play offs a long shot. Great opportunity to give him so chances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure he is going to feature that much in the short term He’s going to have to earn a place and that means performing at U21 level and progressing the same as the rest of the younger players If he is half as good as what those in the industry are saying then he won’t be waiting in the wings for long 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 I imagine he'll be with the first team squad , but he'll be a way off being on the bench just yet. Be good if he gets some U21 games so we can see him in action first. 1 minute ago, formerly known as ivan said: Please see Alex Scott for reference!

Lastly you have no idea how he compares to those currently on the bench. I expect him to be involved in the match day squad within the next month or so but definitely for the experience rather than expecting him to be another Scott.

Just the announcement feels like a first team signing. Not saying he won’t play some u21 games to start though I think he’ll be involved Sunday. Just think he’s been signed to play and get chances to play not develop slowly(like u21 for the rest of the season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not another Scott obvs. But brings similar attributes we desperately lack and which are desperately required if this Manningball thing is to succeed. Our midfield at the moment is the diametric opposite of what a coach like Manning requires. This lad addresses that deficit i would say. In time. How much time? Well, betcha he'll play before season's end, seeing as we're going nowhere - another 50p on it. We're the last of the big spenders!

Should be fine on that front as long as there's no complications and the International Transfer Certificate is promptly sorted: "the Registration Deadline means 12 noon on the Friday immediately preceding the default date for a specific round of the Competition" "the Club must obtain confirmation from The Association that the application to register the Player has been approved (and any such confirmation must be received by the Club at least 75 minutes before the scheduled kick-off of the Competition Match)" "where the Player’s registration with the Club requires an ITC, the Club must obtain confirmation from The Association that the ITC has been received (and any such confirmation must be received at least 75 minutes before the scheduled kick-off of the Competition Match)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Probably need some mins with the u21s for fitness but very much a first team signing I think. Straight into the squad ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a very confident lad and a good sense of humour. For an eighteen year old he speaks very well and certainly has high ambitions I think he will fit in very well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 The opportunity being given to young players over the last few years could turn out to be massive for us, young players are starting to city as a real pathway in to 1st team men's football and maybe on to bigger clubs, which will see us getting the cream of players instead of loosing out like we have done for years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a very arrogant type in his interview which i think is great. Sort of player that a bit of arrogance will show in his play. Whether he is eligible or not for West Ham, i’d expect him as one of 9 subs immediately at Preston. Doesnt have to be ‘fit’ to get 20 mins here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played since October and that was at a much lower standard, the game will be a lot faster in the Championship so that match fitness and sharpness is unlikely be there.
