GeordieDazzler Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well I'm prepared to jump on this particular bandwagon with both feet. Have a nice, juicy contract waiting for him on his 18th birthday before that nasty Monsieur Wenger steps in. They've handed him professional terms and he will sign them on his 18th Birthday. @ Baggio, Norwich looks a likely destination for a loan move.

johnnypd Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 definitely impressed with him, he has a silky first touch and control if todays cameo is anything to go by, a natural dribbler and fairly quick - good raw materials but a long way to go if he wants to fulfil his promise. looks pretty raw tho, especially physically, so i;d wait till next season before blooding him, a loan till the end of the season would probably be good and perhaps toughen him a la bernard going to darlo. realistically its far too early to judge, pattison looked pretty fab when he came on against celtic in a pre-season tournament a few years back, and against west brom when we finished 7th under roeder. saying that he looks better than some of the dross we've had on our right wing in recent years like brittain or kerr. i never saw the faintest glimmer of talent shine out from those two.

EthiGeordie Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I kinda like Lua Lua his touchs are very nice and delicet and it has been a while since we saw such a promising youngster in our rank and it is a welcome amaen after the likes of Germi......

PM Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The boy's a bit special. And not wanting to sound like a soopafan (although it inevitably will) but I've seen more than 16 minutes of him playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The most notable thing for me was how relaxed and confident he looked. There seemed to be no doubt in his head that he belonged out there, which is the sign of a great player in the making. The last one of our teenagers that gave me that impression was Gazza. And can we give our manager a bit of credit for a brave decision? 0-0 away in a Cup tie to a Championship side in the driving rain, and he pitches in a 17 year old. That took a bit of nerve.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 When he came on, it didn't look like we had a 17-year old debutant on making his debut. He just blended into the game. Don't know whether that's shining praise for him, or a damning indictment on our team though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Needs to be involved more regularly, whether that's in the starting eleven to replace Alan Smith in that woeful central midfield position, or on the substitutes bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know whether that's shining praise for him, or a damning indictment on our team though... ...or Allardyce. Lets face it, you see a 17 year old come on, take people on, pass the ball wisely along the ground, and play facing the goal, and you wonder why we dont see the likes of Zoggy, Martins, Milner, Duff, or any other midfielders doing it considering their qualities. Perhaps Allardyce gets too much opportunity to drill these instincts out of these players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shaun11177 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 He is the only player in the Academy with any promise at all so i hope he succeeds-dont think Carroll is anything more than a Championship player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I remember Alan O"Brien beeing promising with his"pace" where did he end up?Scotland? One player didn't work out so no other can?.. fantastic logic, well done.. Anyway O'Brien was considered promising because we heard he had great pace, I don't remember anyone thinking he looked like a good player after actually seeing him play. I remember thinking he looked like he could run very fast without the ball, but had little ball control and couldn't cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thought he had a bit of Lennon about him. Would of been nice to see what his delievery or his end product was, made some poorish decisions but that'll come with experience. Would like to see Allardyce give him a bit of a run out to be honest against smaller opposition, having said that, if he definitely has that all out confidents which good players generally have then big opposition shouldnt phase him too much. Playig agaisnt a big team would make him or break him. Having said all that, its clear that RW is one of our weaknesses, so if he was to get a wide birth then it will only go and provide us with another headache with Zog, Dufff and Enrique. My guess is that Enrique will get dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Verry impressed. To have the confidence to run almost the full length of the pitch with the ball a couple of times says everything for me. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
