Scott Harris Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The media often talk these young players up a lot and they turn out to be mediocre, but this kid looks like he has a lot of things senior players don't even have in their mid 20's. His skill, pace and especially his finishing are what you would see in a top player at their peak, but this kid has only just turned 16!

HazardousChoice Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) When is the last time we bought a really highly rated top young attacking talent that other clubs wanted? Hazard? Edited August 2, 2022 by HazardousChoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time we bought one as a teenager like this and he made the first team at uch a young age CHO, I suppose but he came through the ranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysRight Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 We almost had Neymar in his youth, before his dad got him to ignore us and go to Barca the following season or whatever it was. I don't think we've ever bought real young promising forward talent and had them for the majority or a good bulk of their career. Even Hazard was probably about 21/22 when he joined us and had already proven himself at Lille to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night-T Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Not sure if it's just on the video, but looks like he has a very strong upperbody for 16 years or younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks very strong from the video. Shrugs off defenders on the run with the shoulder like Drogba. Sign this kid up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexyfootball Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Have now watched the video. Looks like a no brainer to me 🙂 He is doing things that no-one else in the PL is doing, or if they can, they keep it well hidden ! His skill, technique, footballing brain and end product make our current incumbent generational talent look like a poor man's Emile Heskey ... and that's being kind LOL SIGN HIM UP ! azpi28 and WhiteWall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azpi28 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I also like that he doesn’t stay down when he gets fouled he gets up immediately and tries to keep on playing Sexyfootball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWall Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 If we signed him it would be good to keep him around the squad rather than farming him out. We could better manage his minutes and if Everton could do it with Rooney and Barcelona with Pedri and Gavi, why not have a 16/17 year old prodigy as part of the first team squad. He certainly looks strong enough and capable and we could prevent burn out or muscle fatigue better than sending him on loan to someone who might play him relentlessly.

big blue Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Looks amazing in those YouTube videos, important to remember they are all youth games though, so he still has to bring that ability into senior football. It would be a massive coup for us to bring him in, it's the sort of signing that if it works out well, it raises our standing as a club in the game.
