pillred Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Well, what were your thoughts? to say I'm excited would be an understatement, yes he played a few minutes but showed a cool football brain did not panic and showed glimpses to me that we have uncovered a diamond in the rough. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought much the same. It was a shame he was fouled just after his little shuffle, when he went through two players, as I thought he was about to produce a moment of magic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Superjack Posted February 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14 I think he is the next Diedhiou.

Port Said Red Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I shall stick to calling him "deary", I'll bet Manning never thought he would have luxury of bringing him on in such a stress free situation and be able to tell him to just go and have fun. I also think the atmosphere and the whole night will have convinced him he would be making the right move coming here. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Tootle Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Great cameo. Anyone think he didn’t look as tall as they were expecting though? Wikipedia says he’s 6’ 2’’ but he definitely isn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 It was only a few minutes on the pitch but he showed good ball control. There’s no need to get carried away by such a brief appearance but he did all that was expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What impressed me wasn’t his ball skill but his sense that having beaten a player or two now was the time to give it, rather than showboat at 3-0. He wasn’t as tall as I expected & definitely thought better of one 50/50 but promising & can expect a few more sub cameos, I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Far too early to judge , 11 minutes at the end in only his 4th game and I doubt he's totalled 90 minutes of mens football so far . Obviously has potential , and I hope we have found a gem , but not sure he did much more than Yeboah was doing ? It would be great to be in a similar position Saturday and to be able to give him 30 minutes to be able to see more of what he's about. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 He was still on the pitch after everyone had gone off, shaking hands and looking for friends and family in the crowd. He looked about 12 and had such a wide smile on his face. Looked like he's enjoying the opportunity here. Good luck to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Last night was his debut and I would have liked a bit longer to see more of his skills. He only got about 10mins including the 7mins added time when the game was safe - too early to judge yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 He oozes class and ability and he really could be the joker in our pack. Really looking forward to seeing how he develops. Imagine him in a team with a younger JET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Trundles LeftTit Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I agree, looks a great prospect from what I saw. Can't wait to see him get some minutes. Going to be a bit of a contest on the right wing with Sykes coming back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 His Wiki page makes for a slightly odd read. Rejecting a contract from Rangers after being there since the age of 10, moving to Man City and after a year 'contract talks broke down', Spurs apparently interested and then his transfer to KVC Westerlo for £1.65mil. It could be that he is on loan to us to get some experience, it could be that he is one of those players who struggles to settle. Either way, he looks like he has bags of ability and if someone can get a tune out of him he could be a player to have quite a career, but the journey from youth graduate to the age of 20 doesn't look to be the standard one you'd expect. Amazed he has made more appearances for Scotland U21s that he has league games. His Wiki page makes for a slightly odd read.
