AJ9 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Really like him. I think he needs to stay and push for a place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He’s got lovely feet, especially his left. Can cut the ball inside deceptively easy and has a knack for getting a yard of space to get a shot off. In terms of our attacking options, he looks like he’s next in line after Isak in terms of dribbling ability / beating a man with skill but that’s perhaps more of a reflection on the quality of dribblers in our squad more than anything else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the fact the first didn't happen has helped with the second? Maybe he's benefitted more under Howe's coaching methods than he would have done playing for Preston?

Players that get sent out on loan usually get sold later on. Better to drill them in your team with good coaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Really torn on Anderson. He needs game time to continue developing but we also need depth as we saw at the end of last season. While it's not best case scenario for him we likely have to keep him and Miley until January. If everyone is fit though it would be hard to get consistent games. He will for sure get minutes with the amount of fixtures we have though, probably Miley too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the club obviously needs to support youth players in their development but it feels like it's very much on the player if they make it once they're 18 or so. Loans were probably more beneficial when we were an absolute shit state of a club and it was better for them to just not be around a manager like Bruce. If the club is professional like ours finally is then hopefully they can progress the way Anderson seemingly has without a loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 We were very lucky last season with injuries, it's unlikely we'll have all of Joelinton, Bruno and Longstaff available for such a huge amount of the season with the added European games too like we did the season just gone. He'll get minutes, as well as Miley. If anyone gets injured, one or both might end up starting a fair few games too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 He's also far better than Vuckic ever was. He's already come on numerous times last season and made a genuine impact. See no reason he can't push the first team with regular sub appearances. Definitely something special about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
