The Fish 10728 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Already think there's too much attention on this kid. Sure, he's banging them in for the kids, but he'd probably be better off playing some league football outside the Premier League before we start pinning our hopes on him.

Dr Gloom 21812 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 He could be an arthritic and asthmatic donkey, suffering from double vision, I’d still pin more hope on him than Joselu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I think everyone is craving someone great coming through the youth ranks. Don't think we have had anyone great since Andy Carroll. And then he buggered off.

David Kelly 1222 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 There was tallk about him going out on loan to Gateshead or somewhere like that. That seems a complete waste of time since he's already scored goals against football league teams this season. Surely we need to see him in league 2 at least.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 We've seen it all before, young kid banging goals in at youth level then never gets a chance at senior level and moves on. That's always been the problem with the club, far too many talented young players with potential fail to step up to the first team squad and make an impact. Hopefully this lad is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4181 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 He is very technically gifted but a bit lightweight for senior football atm. Heard from a friend who is a coach at Boro youth. Probably be another in a long line of promising youths who don’t make it but I hope otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but very few of them end up banging them in at any level, once they leave - Campbell, Armstrong, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13794 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Came off the bench to score in his international debut for the U21s. Still needs to bulk up if his performance against Sunderland was anything to go by but it's becoming readily apparent that he's the most lethal striker on Earth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Interesting that, despite having the shittest group of strikers in the league, Rafa is willing to give Sterry, Longstaff and Roberts game time ahead of Elias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Dummet, Diame, Ki, Shelvey and Kenedy all unavailable he has to bring in the youngsters or we wouldn't have an 11 to field. He has senior strikers, even if we think they're shit.

strawb 4181 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Am I being soft here or is Strerry a right back and the other two midfielders while Sorensen is a centre forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you're right, the only thing to compare them by is their ages. Actually Sterry is 4 years older than Sorenson and the other two are 2 years older anyway.

I get that he's not ready to start first team games but I can't fathom how he's deemed less of an option that Joselu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 He probably thought the same about Longstaff before his hand was forced. And he's infinitely preferable to Hayden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34839 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Can see the desire for a change but playing a young kid upfront in our setup is s probably hanging him out to dry. Would certainly like to see him as an option on the bench though. Centre mid is different, you’re always in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
