Maybe we have a buy back.

That would have been smart.

The most naturally gifted player to come out of our academy in the modern era, which just goes to show that talent alone is just a small small fraction of the formula.

Off the ball he makes Mata look like Makalele.

IMO, one of those youth players that never should have been loanedarrow-10x10.png away and should have been retained like they are doing with RLC now...

Sure, they would barely get a few minutes to play, but it would have been lot better than stagnating in a lesser team.

It's damn hilarious and great progression that Josh at his 'prime' youth-wise, our 'best youth product since Terry'

(& Franco DiSanto

:ph34r:)

, would be benched by all of our youth players from the past 4 or so seasons. This may've been the only season he'd get a sniff. Always thought he looked like a yogurt pot trying to play football. It just won't work.

Lets be honest. Mentality wise the guy never had it.

There is a reason he went from the next big thing/next player to break through here at a top PL club, to a newly promoted PL club, to 3 championship clubs, Vitesse, and then back to another championship club in the space of 5 or 6 years. He never had the mentality for the big time. 

Look at other young players who have gone out on loan and come back or have been loaned out then sold, we've regretted some, guys like Matic, De Bruyne, Salah, even Chalobah who was 100 times the guy he was in terms of mentality and a much more rounded players. The fact hes saying shit like this, despite the fact hes playing at Brentford, says it all. Its not as if hes punching above his weight and outplaying the league, the guy is so average its unbelievable. He's 25 and his career has mounted to a pile of averageness but he wants to talk about regretting not going to Real Madrid lol, they probably have a worse record with youth than we do and you look at the young guys they discarded over the years. He never fit in at Swansea for whatever reason, fair enough but look at all his other loan spells he only really played at Vitesse and Middlesbrough and he went on loan 5 times.

Honestly?? Damn that's Makelele level bad for an attacking midfielder.

He isn't an attacking mid, he plays deep, the few times i have seen Brentford he never entered the final 3rd outside set pieces.

How did things go so downhill for him. Brentford have announced him amongst their release list this summer. Has suffered with numerous injuries too. His next club will be interesting to see. Will take a massive wage drop wherever he goes as I can't see much teams willing to pay him that much money as he is injury-prone.

I was there for this game... he was  basically playing the 'Jorginho role'. Look how dynamic he was. The notoriety went to his head and that unfortunately fucked his career.

Is it just me, or is our movement much much better than what it is these days. Honestly speaking I don't see much movement when we play, no runs in the box, pretty pedestrian.
