The foul for the pen looked like it was about a yard out the box and the Coventry played leaped over the line. 

 

I like how he uses both feet.  I've seen the majority of his goals and some of his efforts that have hit the woodwork.  He isn't afraid to have a crack on his left.  Really refreshing to see.

 

There was a Coventry fan on another forum.  Saying he looks better than Callum Wilson and that he's much further ahead with his development than Wilson was at 19.  Means nothing ATM, but I still found it interesting.

It's his movement that's quality, he would go back to being useless if he came to us right now since we don't play to his strengths at all

 

Looking at the goals he scores, he relies on the midfielders releasing it quickly and playing it along the ground, neither of which we do

Nah, he's best off where he is.  He's getting games and learning his trade like he should be at his age.  Not to mention this'll be doing his confidence a world of good.

 

If we brought him back he'd be competing with Perez and de Jong for game time.  He'd probably be lucky to get on the bench.

Unless he suddenly becomes a quick and a nasty fucker like Bellamy, while he'll no doubt be better than a Brayson or a Campbell, he strikes me as ultimately ending up struggling beyond league 1 or the Championship at a push.

Just can't see him fitting in with how we play or even longer term in any Premiership team.

Depending on our situation I'd like us to Loan him to a Championship club next year unless we are in the Championship. If he scores 20 in the Championship then we should give him a go.  If we bring him back in the summer and we are in the Premier League dependent on who we've sold/ brought in he wouldn't get game time.  I just think he needs to be the main striker for a club for the next 2 years so we can see what he's made of.

What have you seen of him this season that suggests at 18 years old and the top goalscorer in the league in his first full season suggests his career is already on the decline?

 

At his age and what he's achieved already he's arguably the most promising academy player we've had since Gascoigne.
