mrmojorisin75 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Adam Campbell and Michael Chopra also used to bang them in for the stiffs. My point being we don't have the breathing room to take chances with youth players unfortunately and Rafa's system requires certain attributes I'm assuming Sorenson doesn't have them (not that I've seen him play.) yes i'm aware of chopra & campbell, brayson and so on...i mean he threw longstaff on the other day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 People forgetting the position we are in is what makes it extremely difficult to give youth players a chance. not at all, but the kid is approaching 20 goals in the stiffs isn't he? our backup strikers can't score for shit...not a massive leap to make tbh happy to trust rafa as always, you'd have just thought he might have been worth a look What are you basing this on? I'd have thought it was a massive leap, given that you see players scoring 20 odd goals in the championship and then massively struggling in the Premier League, for example. To just blindly assume he'd even outscore Joselu is daft, the kid has had one half of a good season at youth level ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He threw longstaff on in lieu of having any other options mind. I think his hand was more forced than it being something he actually wanted to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 nah, i get it lads, and i didn't say he would or could outscore joselu either i've always thought young players that stand out deserve their chance when they do something outstanding as this kid has, be different if we had attackers banging them in but we don't you think different, that's fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 People forgetting the position we are in is what makes it extremely difficult to give youth players a chance. Makes it more difficult when the manager does spend money and they aren't good enough. (Muto/Murphy=£20+m) As if we have a fluent transfer cashflow that's money pissed down the drain.

r0cafella Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Given the parameters we operate in (players with resale value) we are left scratching around the bottom of the market with those sums. Unproven English stiffs are being touted at 20 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 As I can't see Rafa being given any money to spend I think it would be a good time too give some youngsters a go. Like to see more of Longstaff. Cal Roberts to get a chance with Kenedy out of form and Murphy never had some kind of form. Also Sorensen as he can't be any worse than Joselu and with Muto away on the Asian cup. I think Longstaff is ready to start games and Roberts and Sorensen for some minutes. Aye, transfers from the U23s to the first team is probably about all we can hope for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
