The Fish 11080 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Pace to burn but apart from that, he didn't get much of a chance to break into the first team so I couldn't give you a proper review of the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1280 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 He looked half decent on the couple of occasions I saw him, as Fish says he's fast as fuck. The general concensus seems to be that his crossing is often wayward. Gate's never even made the bench as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've seen him a few times for Ireland and he's looked ok against the weaker teams, but against the better sides(Germany) he's looked like he has nothing but pace. His crossing can be hit or miss. Generally miss unfortunately. One of the quickest players around, lack of end product and injuries have held him back a bit.

Guest alex Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 In all honesty he didn't get enough of a chance to be able to say either way but other than being fast I don't think he's got much about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1280 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I guess Franz Carr is the nearest comparison we have to any recent players here but as Alex says his oppertunities have been so limited it's impossible to tell much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I think he'll be similar to Ivan Sproule for you and having sold him for 500k and got OB, who is younger and may still develop, for 200k you have done some decent business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately for you I'm not talking about Stephen or else I would have just said he is complete shite. Franz Carr was a very fast winger we had playing for us ten years or more ago now. He was a bit brain dead and his delivery didn't often match his approach play. But much better than that useless prick Carr who plays for us now.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 You've been stung for 200k mate. He's a sprinter in football boots. Think the shop had run out of running spikes so he settled for the next best thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 To give you an idea how good kris Gates is my mates played against him at five a side the other week in North Shields. The team he was playing for had brought him in to give their side an edge as it was a top of the table clash. My mates won, convincingly, I would say the average age of their team is 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
