What position is he? A quick google has him as a midfielder attacker full back and a wing back the O’Nien role
I hope he has no more or less say than other head coaches we have had tbh. That is our way and we should stick to it for me. He can have a voice, but that is all. I trust Speakman and co to find the players we need. Tbh we look to have 1 or 2 in the u21s about oven ready. Our scouts will have been out and about looking. I still believe there is value to be had for us with prem academy sides.
Looks like a winger to me 2 goals and 5 assists in 39 league appearances at Bristol Rovers last season (League One)
I have seen him in the 10/central attacking role and the left wing role. Looks better through middle to me, where he can get on the ball more. Played a lot of the left for Bristol Rovers, but more through the middle at Chelsea. He has a little bit of the Phil Foden about him for me. Get his share of goals as well. If Rigg is out for a lengthy period I would be happy to see this lad come in.
Yeah, was a cracking prospect a couple yrs ago but not really kicked on since then. Best as an AM, technically very good and chips in with goals My mate was actually watching him the other week against Newcastle u21s, he said he drifted in and out the game but showed a few moments of class
I see he’s been captain for Chelsea u21s. That’s always a positive - experience being a leader, no matter what the level.
Out of contract end of the season I believe. you had a career that hasn’t turned out as expected? Welcome to the Sunderland rehabilitation centre
Sounds promising, hopefully another young hungry lad who’s outgrown academy football picked up at the right time
RLB has actually covered that before. Saying the recruitment model now has his preferred type of player for every position in his system. So it’s more tailored to the type of players he likes
EAFC database, which is crazy accurate; has him capable of growing to a 79. That’s mid table PL level so we take him thanks. Jobe and Rigg, as a side note, are projected 85 & 86 respectively. For context, that’s Real Madrid first 11 levels. They use the same database as many scouts in the real world.
Quality player, I used to watch City U21 loads and he was usually the stand out in a very good team - him and Palmer Works hard and has a goal scoring side to him
He’s played 1 minute of football since December 1st, despite City’s horrendous form and back luck with injuries. 6 times on the bench without getting on Guardiola might actually be losing the plot?
Would be keen on the Harvey Vale signing. Extremely versatile, can play on either wing, as a 10, a deeper midfielder, either wing back position and as a left back in a back 4. I think that level of versatility would be good for our squad. Has great delivery with his left foot from open play and from set pieces. Captains the Chelsea u21s which shows leadership ability.
