chelseawise 115 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This Guy looks like the real deal. I hope we give him a chance next season rather than loaning him out. That pass to Piazon was amazing from someone his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Although we haven't seen much of him to gauge a playing style, a lot of features I read about him seem to see him as some sort of box to box midfielder. He does have the leggy stride of a Yaya Toure type player but not sure if his fitness and defending abilities are anywhere near good enough. Certainly now he's a no.10/winger type of player.

He does have the leggy stride of a Yaya Toure type player but not sure if his fitness and defending abilities need to be good as well. Certainly now he's a no.10/winger type of player.I think that's the position he'll end up playing. He seems really poor, defensively though....

Plenty of time for him to improve that aspect of his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Most players are at his age. Plenty of time for him to improve that aspect of his game.Yeah, that's probably the thing I worry least about at his age because the defensive side for attacking midfielders is something you can coach and they can learn as long as they have the right attitude. And he certainly has the physical strengths to do, he just needs a coach who is willing to teach him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He, alongside John swift (most underrated talent in England by far), Boga, Ake and RLC, are our best youngsters for me. I'd throw in Baker as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'd throw in Baker as well.Not for me. I still don't understand the hype or fuss about him honestly. he's no better technically than all the other average youth players of the past like Connor,Billy Clifford et al. the players I listed actually have the look of potentially special players about them. Ake with the composure,calmness and maturity far above his age,his technical ability isn't too shabby for a defender neither, swift with the cultured style that's reminiscent of the great Laudrup, Boga with the explosiveness and impressive close control and RLC with the technical ability not often associated with big players. But football is a funny old game and he might be the one out of the lot that actually makes it with hard work and some luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrippingStep 336 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I could see him play for us at right wing in two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Probably the most important thing about sending him to Vitesse is that the Eredivisie is one of the best leagues (if not the best) when it comes to technical ability. Just imagine such a natural talent being wasted somewhere in Doncaster or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Would be ideal if he can get a goal. The game is level and Vitesse really need to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarlow 458 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 He has linked up quite nicely with Atsu so far, i can see those two building a good on field relationship together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonlol 154 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 solid, seriously promising prospect. If he can hit the gym like gareth bale did than im sure he will be a star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've watched Vitesse's last two games and they have struggled defensively, the seem to panic a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
