Barnes23 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 His success at Bristol Rovers came out wide, and he's always looked better coming in from wider positions in his appearances for us too. I don't see why we seem to want him to develop at CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Seen nothing in his appearances yet to go with the hype. Get him on loan as he's not ready for premier league football yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 What position did he play last season? He’s full of energy but slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 LW Been saying it since the end of last season. I watched a few of his matches, he's nowhere near ready for the Premier League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why we seem to want him to develop at CM. I’m hoping it is more for needs must, as we don’t have any centre mids when we rotate. Was the same at Tranmere, as Shelvey was injured then and all. I think his sub apps have often been out wide? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Not convinced he can play in CM The little he's impressed for us it's been out wide and that's where he played a lot for Rovers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He's not going to be good enough for us that's pretty evident and maybe not for the Premier League. He's not blindingly out of his depth like some and as such I'd sooner loan them out than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that it is honestly, he played at CM in pre-season games too once he was brought back into the fold. He may have been introduced out wide from the bench for the closing minutes of a few games but I'm pretty sure the majority of his minutes this year have been in the middle.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The lad didn’t play well tonight, but he’s far too young to be written off. I’m not saying he will make as a top level player, but saying he definitely won’t feels premature Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I think he will make it, but I think in retrospect he should have gone on loan this season and he still should for the remainder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Yeah I wouldn’t write this lad off, would like to have seen him on the left tonight where that useless cunt was playing. However, where light in midfield so needs must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I’d be surprised if he ever plays regularly for Newcastle. Better players will just come in too quickly for him to have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Give him some time ffs, his first start in ages. He wasn’t good enough today but no need to write him off either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Have some faith number 1 in him and number 2 in Howe ffs If Howe thinks he can learn better here then he knows best tbh Lads a youngin and getting written off after previous decent performances and one bad performance.

The Prophet Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Wasn't that long ago that folk were absolutely gagging for him to be in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The preseason hype was way too much too tbh. Absolutely no need to go from one extreme to another so quickly, remember reading that we don't need Maddison because of him. He's a kid who has barely played, he'll have good games and bad games.

OverThere Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I don't think it's going to do him much good warming the bench. I would send out on loan... What is his level is the question ..L1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 4 hours ago, The Butcher said: Criminal if he stays the full season with us.

nemtizz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Of course people are being unduly harsh given the trash he was playing with but whenever he picked up the ball wide he looked good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He'll carve out a nice career for himself if he avoids injury but I'll be amazed if he ever plays much for us given where we're expected to operate in the coming years. We're all excited because he looked good in the fourth tier of English football last year. A product of our fanbase as a whole being absolutely starved of quality coming from our academy for so long. There's way too much expectation on him when in reality I don't think he should be seen as quite an exciting a prospect as he is. He's not even that young.

Away Toon Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's very slow, so hes going to need some serious talent to make up for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He's shown he can waltz around playera and finish very capably, in a lower division. In the top flight he"s struggled so far, he"s experiencing attention from quality defenders. I"d back him to make the top league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that’s what Howe is trying to alter his position as he definitely doesn’t have the speed for a wide player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
