Tiger Shaw 30,532 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Wait till he starts filling out a bit he’ll be like an ox in that midfield. Has a great talent of putting they lanky legs in and taking the ball away from an opponent when he has no right. Also stronger than he looks, think our coaching staff will build him up a bit over the summer and create a monster Boys got EPL writing all over him imo hopefully we get a good 3/4 years out him first Boybluesy and Finny 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his game doesn't seem to be about speed and agility, I think he will be a better player for putting on 3-4kg of muscle.

Didn't really fuck us, it just put us on a watchlist with UEFA along with several other clubs. Came off it the season after. Never had proper issues with FFP. johanhentze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit of an all rounder and I'm not sure bulking up will help him with all aspects of his game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back to this in two years mate see where he’s at size wise. Lol btw bulking up doesn’t mean coming out like the hulk he’ll naturally bulk up as he gets older and I’m pretty sure clement will have him hitting the weights as well.

The Gaffer likes big strong athletes. It is basically the difference between growing, fitness and gaining strength. The two do go hand in hand to a degree but are not exclusive. A big fat guy can shrink and gain strength so size is obviously not everything. An easy example that most would know is that a scaffolder in his forties or fifties would beat the vast majority of men in their 20's at arm wrestling. He'd be fucked in a race though 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 2,765 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sometimes we’ve been slack but we’re very rarely pedestrian in the midfield now. And we were pedestrian since Kamara downed tools. Huge compliment to him and the manager. The midfield is finally a strength now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,911 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I think he is the best box-to-box player I've seen at the club in years. Many years. Even still, there is room for improvement. He is prone to the odd easy, stray pass. But at just 22, he is way ahead of his development. SeparateEntityMyArse and graeme_4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,504 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Too many cheap, slack passes for me. Needs to cut that out as he's doing it a few times per match now on very easy passes. If he fixes that he'll be very good for us BlueAvenger, Zappa6995, SeparateEntityMyArse and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's had an excellent start scored two peaches to open scoring already and has created alot of chances, energetic, fairly quick. How often have we had to lie to ourselves there's a player in there just needs time etc with new signings. I remember folk trying to talk about flashes of brilliant from Ramsey this time 2 years ago when he played simple passes during poor displays MayboleLoyal_atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,096 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Some people are mentioming passes and yea it happens but he is dealing with playing 2-3 games per week after his very long winter break. So he hasnt had a lot of time. It will come :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that also, but I think being thrown in to a team at this stage in a season after a long break will be taking its toll. Mentally and physically. That will affect him, no doubt.
