MarkyMitch 4 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Everyone always goes on how amazing he is and to be honest i've only seen this guy a few times for the U19's and i'm not saying he's gonna be the greatest player in the world, but after seeing him again last night he genuinely looks like he's got something! Looks very confident and composed. Surely he has to get a run in the team at some point!! We need to give these talented youngsters a chance especially guys like Fleck, Aaron, McMillen etc. They will only improve with first team experience. I know this has been said many times about him and i'm not just going by what I saw last night but I think that he can really offer us something and improve the team! He doesn't even need to start the next few games but at least give him a decent run out as a sub! We need to start helping these players with their development. IMO the next stage is 1st team experience. I know a lot of people will agree with this but believe that Walter just won't bring youth through! But I think he's gonna have to start doing so! We're trying to sell players and can't afford to buy any! Why not give these talented kids a run out in their natural positions instead of trying 1st team players in unfamiliar positions!! Seems basic to me!! Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macleod1873 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes i agree but i think he is only potental right now, and we all know how easily potential is wasted. Look at Timmy McCarthy had over a hundred first team appearances and is clearly working wonders on him. Where as Fleck is left in the reserves. I think games like last night he should be starting. If not coming off the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby83 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Send him on loan. Walter will not blood a youngster at what he think is the expense of the league, despite playing older mongs such a Adam and lee. Is Macmillan away for the rest of the season? I hope its not just for a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Fleck is one player I would not send out on loan, that guy is ready to be a regular now, I would rather drop Ferguson and play Fleck instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say they play the same position! I may be wrong but I though Fleck was more of a striker or attacking midfielder (behind a striker). Think he can play wide on the left as well.

nvager 498 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I would like to see Aaron on the right wing, Davis and Mendes in the middle, Fleck on the left and Naismith up front with Boyd. Miller is way off form just now anyway and last night again proved he has no eye for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thing is, in 3 or 4 years time when Mendes is too old Thomson would slot in and... oh dear Walter, why must you do this AC Milan narrowness?

BritishBear 34 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Playing Adam or McCulloch is like playing with 10 men anyway so I cannot see why he doesn't give a chance to someone who could actually contribute something. Chances are with the way he sets the team up and his "tactics" we will not win the league. He needs to grow a pair of balls and start picking players on merit. Fleck is ready, play him now. Aaron deserves a chance and so does Edu. The team needs freshening up. Lets face it these 3 young players can't contribute as little as the supposed stars they would replace.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think now everybody agrees John Fleck needs more appearances for the 1st team, even if it's the last 10minutes of a game. Lets just hope Walter gives him more of a chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is way off form just now anyway and last night again proved he has no eye for goal. That's a great shout, can you imagine how exciting that would be to watch? Nearly every attack would have us on the edge of our seats, purely because guys like Fleck and Aaron have the ability and confidence to go past a man, something very few of the current starting eleven have in their locker. I have no doubt that Walter will persist with the three centre midfielders and a striker across the midfield four though. So frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitzer007 198 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 What gets me is that if Walter is not giving the younger players a chance so as to play it safe why can't he get his head around the fact that performances like last night are gonna cost him his job. When things get really tough you know he's opt for big dumpling Lee and even bigger dumpling Charlie and this is what is gonna get him the bullet. Play the younger players and get a bit of freshness into the side. We are as stale as a stale bit of bread on national staleness day !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenDavis 112 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Samir Nasri was a regular at Marseille when he was 17, the same age as Fleck but still he isn't even included in match squads. Look at Nasri now, he's 21 and he's playing one of the best leagues in the world and is usually picked for the French National Team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,225 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Messi played 7 La Liga games and 1 champions League game in the season he turned 17. By the way, La Liga has more quality more competition and more pressure than the spl (sarcasm rules) for those who say we cannot play him because it is too pressured.
