Yeah, whilst it's very commonplace to put out how young Bazunu is, I think far less is made about ABK's age. He's only three months older! We've been asking a crazy amount from our youngsters this season. Quite what Bazunu's potential ceiling is, I really don't know (but I do fear it might be lower than the club thought). But I agree with you that ABK has a high potential ceiling. He's years away yet from his best.
I don’t think any of the youngsters we’ve signed can be called bad signings really. All of them have shown something when they’ve played and all will hopefully have good careers. The issue is the older players and the squad being massive and full of very similar level players leading to lots of chopping and changing trying to appease everyone and no continuity throughout the team
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chuba-akpom/profil/spieler/197642 Chuba Akpom. 28 goals in the championship. Out of contract. Probably a long shot, but we should be all over that if he's a free transfer.
The Plymouth manager (Schumacher?) is one man on a 4 man shortlist from Jason Wilcox, who wants to appoint a young up and coming manager.
hmm, I’m not sure I’ve seen better holding midfielder in the league this season. His ball retention is outstanding, its like he never makes a bad decision. His progressive passing is probably where he needs to improve to get to Rodri’s/Busquets level but to get there he needs players ahead of him who are actually good.
You'll see a better one on Saturday, in Joao Palhinha. Now, I totally agree that some day, Lavia will reach the top. But I still think that is a few years down the line. I agree his ball control is fantastic, but that is the signature of every Man City youth player these days. His passing is mostly good, and his forward passing puts Prowsie to shame already. I just think he needs proper guidance under a top manager, and from top players around him. He's not getting that with us obviously, but of course he is still learning massively from the experience.
