DavieMacRFC 850 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Boy looks talented and actually looks like he knows what it means to pull on the jersey and give a fuck, promising young talent, good luck to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market inflates every year and clubs in mid level European leagues always end up losing players for pennies because of them. Because we won't get anywhere close to 10 million for him unless we stick a decent buy out clause in. I take it you don't have a clue what prices we sell players for?

He hasn’t played a good team yet so I think folk need to calm it He should continue to get opportunities to play over the next few weeks and if he continues to impress then I’m sure Gerrard will give him a start Easy to look good but for 6 years we’ve made the shite look good. I understand where your coming from and I mustn’t get too carried away but though it’s early days I believe the boy will become a top player, reminds me of Fleck a bit.

He can only impress when given chances, and has done that up until now. He's the form wide left player, makes sense to reward him with a starting jersey, it's for others to do more to get it off him.

I take it you don't have a clue what prices we sell players for? Quite the opposite I think you don’t have a clue what a buy out clause is, it doesn’t mean we can’t accept less than 10 million, it means we have to accept an offer of 10 million if we receive one. So if any player (in this instance) Middleton ends up potentially in the market at 15-20 million we’ll be sold down the river and forced to accept 10.

ronniescu 2,976 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I like him a lot. Wins the ball back well & his corners / final balls are getting better by the game. Massive upgrade on our left flank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll be too long before he's given starts against certain opposition, but I think the gaffer is going to be smarter in the how he develops these young guys. (Even thought McCrorie looked better when he was brought on; didn't rush to punt out the ball when he got it in the penalty box, and you could tell he was following instructions.)

whatnobeer 89 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Break him in gently, no need to rush things. It will unfortunately only take 1 average game for the usual suspects come out and give him some stick and it could slow down his development. Use him as a super sub, keep the confidence high and pressure low. Having said all that, he did great when he came on today. Direct, good passing (mostly), quick, tracked back.

I would keep bringing him on in the last half hour/ 20 against decent teams. Give him starts against the lower 6 of the league now and then. Tonight and in other qualifiers, his freshness up against players that are a bit fatigued has been working well. Loved his reaction tonight after his pass to Barasic Aubie92 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
