Dazza82 Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 I'm not too sure, me personally think that you should represent the country you have been playing for. I also think he will have more opportunity to play internationally with Ireland Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2018 Author Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Anyone watched him much? Is he any good? How does he compared to Seager, Olomola, Barnes, Gallagher?? We seem to produce a fair few who look like they might make it but so hard to tell. I've seen a few games of each of them, more of Gallagher and he's the one I'd have more hope for, he's already done it in the Championship at least. Still, they'll all at very worst be Championship/League 1 players so the academy is doing pretty well. Would like to see Sims and Hesketh loaned to a Championship club for the rest of the season. I mean, good development AND if the worst happens, good to have them experienced in there. Looks like a bit of a speedster. Cool finish on him too. He's certainly doing well for the U18's. The others you mentioned are obviously older & different sorts of players. Will be interesting to see how Obafemi does if he breaks into the U23's (which I don't think he's played for yet!)

washsaint Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Got to say, pretty excited by this kid. See he got a brace at the weekend for the U18s - seems to have a lot of pace and hopefully we'll see more of him over the next couple of years.

Michael Obefemi didn't score twice, he didn't play at the weekend for the under 18s. Saints goals vs Leicester City under 18s were scored by Jonathan Afolobi (x2) and Enzo Robsie.

They have, but just keep the perspectiive that they are doing very well in the 2nd division of the u23 league, where they are because the management of the academy in the last couple of seasons has been so bad.

Hope he can get some mins against Watford too.Probably won't happen but I would consider starting him against Watford. The team is in desperate need of freshening up somehow and at least it would give the home crowd a boost to see a youngster with some enthusiasm rather than continuing to plug away with the tried and untrusted likes of Long or Austin?
