    They are throwing money at it for sure. Travis of a year ago would have been good, but not sure has been that good recently. I think we might surprise ourselves with a better player than him.

    He is the best ive seen as well mate, love watching him play - love that hes technically really good but loves getting stuck in

    Hopefully see him get more minutes as i think hes good enough to contribute this season

    Been saying this for a while - he really slows the game down. Often turning into trouble, or trying to run through players in a desperate attempt to make people think he is his brother. Needs to learn the simplicity of effective football. He's not a 10, that needs addressing. He was awful yesterday

    I think he looks tired mate. He is a physical specimen but I think mentally we have asked a lot of him. Sometimes players need to freshen up their thinking and he looks like that is the case a bit. Mind you, we have been a bit erratic in where he plays. Hopefully we have given up on the number 9 gig and lets see him as an 8 or a 6.

    Has everything to be a 6 or 8 like doesn’t he. Need to stop playing him further up the pitch.

    For me yes. 8 more realistic at the minute. Needs a bit of sharpening up when we lose it, getting back in shape is everything for an 8.

    He looked knackered about 15 from the end yesterday. Should have been off at that point to me. It’s great experience for him but he was tired because the opposition had the bodies of grown men not teenagers and were a level two above. He will be a belter but he’s being overplayed.

    I’d be developing him as a 10. His raw and most natural things lean into a 10 for me.

    I disagree with saying play him deeper be aside he’s shown already his timing of runs into box and ability to finish.

    He should in my eyes be coached on the 10 role. Runs, short passes and link up play.

    Quality player, really like him - but hes more attacking minded than what we need imo. We need a specialised defensive mid

    I like the look of this kid at Wimbledon mind, whether or not he’s anywhere near Championship his stats and his highlights are very impressive.

    I think this a great point. Miley came on for them and he’s playing in a team with experience all over the pitch and a great midfielder alongside him. Bellingham could come on and do that no problem but that’s not the case here he’s a young lad surrounded by other young lads

    He doesn’t look like a great finisher and just too big to be a 10 for me he’s still growing too I think he could be our Rodri type player if we’re to play both him and Neil. Picking up the ball from the defence and playing it about, composed and good on the turn, puts a foot in but also gets up and down the pitch and offers that attacking threat when we’re dominating the ball.

    No chance whatsoever coming here if that’s the case.

    He is so young mate we probably change our minds a few times, depending on how he goes physically.

    I’m going off his fleeting first team minutes.

    Nobody will pay that to get him it’ll be subsidised by Bournemouth. If we’re to pay half I think that would be decent business.
