Coffee_Johnny Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just now, Miggys First Goal said: Remember hearing good things about this lad when he first signed. He created quite a stir in the City academy. Next Foden vibes. I believe (at least I think it was him) he came and played in a training match, with a couple of other ‘older’ kids (from his own age group), against my son’s group (young players on cusp of academy proper) and they couldn’t get near him. I guess early promise doesn’t guarantee anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Sad really. Was supposed to be really high rated - just goes to show how cut throat the football pyramid really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Was this Erling Poundlaand? Watched him against Alnwick in the Senior Cup last year and he looked alright, but against Alnwick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted Monday at 14:30 Share Posted Monday at 14:30 Shame to see him released, but academy recruitment like this has always felt like a numbers game. He likely earned more attention when he joined because there weren't many publicized seven-figure academy signings under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted Monday at 14:37 Share Posted Monday at 14:37 Some players peak very early. They can be extremely good for a 15 year old but never improve beyond that whilst they get surpassed by their age group peers over the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted Monday at 15:46 Share Posted Monday at 15:46 Not surprised, thought he looked like he'd never set foot on a football pitch in his life in one of the pre season friendlies he played either last summer or the summer before (can't remember when it was).

Yeah I was going to say the same, can’t remember the game but remember thinking he was off it physically by miles. Think that was last pre season or the one before. Seemed very highly rated when he signed, I remember a city fan saying they really liked him but shows how big the step up is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
