Considering the fuss when he joined us from Everton, things don't seem to have developed too well, though it is worth remembering that he is only just 18.
Saint Garrett Posted 11 November, 2022 Posted 11 November, 2022 Maybe Jones wants to have a look at him, or maybe Larios's injury is worse than first thought? We can always loan him out again in January if stuff fixes itself. Clearly the club aren't thinking he's progressing as expected there.

disconnect Posted 17 November, 2022 Posted 17 November, 2022 Good news, thought he looked very promising from the few pre-season and B team games. Also, bonus points for a good interview and not saying "I'm buzzing to be fair"!!
the saint in winchester Posted 17 November, 2022 Posted 17 November, 2022 I know we have all - most of us, anyway - agreed that we are using too many young lads and need some experience to be added ....but I'm wondering if NJ will have the opportunity over the world cup period to check out the young forwards who are doing so well at that level. If we are playing any friendlies around here or even in Florida, it would be good to give them a chance to showcase their ability. I know January is coming and we are likely targeting new signings, but what if we have some rough diamonds in the U21 setup that could save us millions in signing fees and wages.

Expand But if you play them in with first teamers (lets be clear here we could field our first team while still keeping to the rules) it will give a good idea of how they perform alongside the "established" players. The only down side is the quality of the opposition, we saw that against Boro, and most of the games coming up are PL Cup, which is against even lower quality opposition (e.g. Colchester).

Charlie Wayman Posted 14 January, 2023 Posted 14 January, 2023 It was always assumed that Hasenhuttl was a genius at developing young players and getting the best from them although in retrospect there is little evidence of his success at doing so. Ely always showed glimpses of talent but until recently never got the chance to settle in the team and prove his worth. Now he seems to improve with every game. He was always good off the ball and now his on the ball skills are beginning to have an impact on team performance. Although he had only a cameo role in the defeat of Man City, he seemed able to ghost past players in midfield to set up attacks with ease. There is more to this man than meets the eye and it may be that Jonesey (;-) ) might just have the knack of finding the switch that sets this guy free. I am not only not surprised that Ely might be offered a new contract but am personally delighted. 2 1

davefizzy14 Posted 21 February, 2023 Posted 21 February, 2023 Tyler Dibling has signed his first professional contract with us 4
DT Posted 28 February, 2023 Posted 28 February, 2023 Is there any possibility that the reason we keep playing the useless Janny B is because he has something weird in his contract like 'must play when fit' or is that always balls? I'm struggling to think of any possible reason why Selles likes him, and wonder if that was a condition of his recall from Villa. If he plays any more I think that a) we are definitely down and b) there is way too much control of players beyond the manager, which always means trouble For me, we need to install Caleta Car in as the first name in the defence, alongside Bella-Kotchap, with Perraud and KWP. That's a decent defence. Build from that. Can't see any way we can avoid leaking goals like a sieve without it. Maybe even get Willy in in goal for a bit as Bazanu's confidence must be all over the place. 2
