STM Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 What I REALLY like is that he looks like he can play number 6. Let him be Brunos understudy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Where’s the negativity? He’s just turned 17. He needs nurturing in terms of being a professional and controlled exposure to the first team. He’s too young for a loan. But also too young for any real responsibility. So I’d rather a full 25 man squad and we use Miley for an injury crisis and for when we think he’s ready. Not one ACL injury away from being the 6. Thankfully I know that’s not Eddie’s plan. If Miley can make 10-15 appearances that will be good. He learns the professional ropes. Has his standards. Is in the setup and squad.

OCK Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 His favourite wrestler is John Cena. Make of that what you will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at best joint-sixth choice CM (along with Anderson) If Bruno is crippled, Longstaff or Tonali will go there and you'll have Willock, Joelinton & Longstaff/Tonali playing the other two CM spots with Anderson in reserve/rotation.

STM Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Both Hope and Downie were crowing about his performance last night. Anyone done a compilation of his highlights? Makes you wonder what he's capable of, if he's like this at 17. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgarve Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 3 hours ago, The College Dropout said: 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. You don’t need to be part of the 25 at 17 years old … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Looks promising and an exciting talent. Should keep our feet on the ground just as he should, and not get carried away too early. Massive positive so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 He's a free hit for the squad, which were really going to need this season, so am happy to keep him. Squad depth was my biggest worry last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 If we aren't going to use our few promising youth players as emergency cover in the event we have 3-4 injuries at CM, then when the heck are they going to get a chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days but no way EH is buying another centre midfielder this window. Especially with budget tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
