The College Dropout Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Not seen pre-season but glad he looks to have talent. Unless it’s a super elite talent I don’t think he should be considered as part of the 25. At that age players should get luxury minutes (league cup, 3-0 up) or injury crisis minutes. Not 1 or 2 injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be taking the spot of a more senior pro is what I mean. But if he's ready, and he looks it, I wouldn't want a player who's already hit their ceiling standing in the way of Miley getting minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Weird how the north tbh east only seems to produce cm’s, these days. Henderson, Longstaff, Shortstaff, Rigg, Miley, Clarke and Anderson both being converted to cm’s too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard stories of PL players that compared to others that are seen as workhorses, unskilled, players that just put in the effort, absolutely dominating players of lower levels. I'm sure I heard an anecdote of John Terry playing 5-aside with some friends and he played for one team in the first half scored 5 goals making it 5-0, then in the second half played for the other team and scored another 5 and it ended up 5-5.

Yeah, my mates wife used to go to school with Peter Ramage and at age 14/15 he just used to take the piss out of everyone, dribbling past them like prime Messi.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 He looks class but he is extremely young. I tend to prefer training with the first team than a loan somewhere to get kicked, but I guess it depends on what the club thinks is best for him.

McCormick Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 “Generational talent”, “kid will be world-class” etc. is putting a lot of hype and pressure on a young lad who’s just had some promising run-outs tbh. I hope he’s insulated from all of that as the minute he has a bad game you’ll hear “not ready”, “next Bigirimana”- which isn’t very helpful for him. He does look like he has the athleticism and poise so far to go far though. Excited for his development! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
