Essandoh 21,103 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just seen clips of him playing with the Chelsea first team against Bohemians. He’ll be a top, top talent if he keeps progressing at the rate he is. Pinging balls about like Fabregas and keeping up to pace with experienced Premier League players like it’s nothing. He’s only just turned 18 last month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what at you mean, but at the same time I respect the kids drive. He seems determined to get as high as he possibly can in the game. As a professional, he is doing what he has to. Making the move so early and joining one of the modern powerhouses and progressing to be on the fringes of their squad really does indicate he made the right move. Think he will go on to be some player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam69 26,757 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 When I read about him, I always think of Tierney, and why couldn't we also have kept hold of him for a while. Though I suppose ultimately it was his own or his family's choice to leave when he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure he’d have moved, although very hard to predict. remeber Lewis McLeod that went to Brentford for decent money, think about £900k, we were all a bit disappointed he left, but could understand the money on offer, and the step up, at the time. nothing against the boy, but where is he now? bo idea how things pan out when kids leave clubs. Robertson, for example from the tarriers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 6,186 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Would have liked him to stay here to develop; which he will have undoubtedly done under Gerrard. Chuffed for the wee guy tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionblue 3,216 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm sure he left when Pedro was here, Gerrard may have been more influtential in convincing him to stay a couple of years, but as far as I recall he simply wanted to go.

Bit disingenuous there regarding Middleton. He played and scored in the group stages of the Europa League as well as contributing domestically.

I believe he was at Ibrox from the age of 8 so Rangers moulded him into the player and person he turned out, look over at them and to see Tierney punted for 25m and to think we got 2% of that because as soon as he was 16 he was out the door and only a development fee was due, I must admit that leaves a sour taste.

frenv 2,114 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 A lot of his decision must have been down to our position at that point - something that's thankfully improved immeasurably since then, along with the development of our youth players and squads. I only hope a few get a breakthrough - for me that's one of the key things that would encourage younger prospects to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
