He scored an absolute beauty of a free kick last season in the reserves. If he was ever going to make the step up, it'll have to be this season. The Accrington game would be a good one, if not only to see how he fares against League opposition.
Ok cheers, he'll be down the pecking order though won't he if we've got Robertson Brady and Townsend that can play lb
Which is a bit of a worry. Not to disparage the lad but maybe he was a big lad at a young age but others have caught him up physically and he aint a CB anymore. Doubt he's got the pace for a LB. Thought they were trying him in midfield anyway?
I believe he did play in midfield for some games last season, to be honest I've stopped going to reserve games so I'm not best placed to comment on him.
Jelavic has proved himself to be a bit of a mercenary. Oh well, if we can get 3-4 million quid for him plus Waris and Yilmaz I'll be happy.
But that's brucies speciality playing players in wrong positions, he'll have Elmo earmarked for there
He was coveted as the next big thing - represented England at certain levels. So you would hope he'd be good enough. If not another failure from our youth set up.
When you think Luke Shaw is only 6 moths older than him and had a similar path of England U16 and U17's.
He started out as a CB, but he can also play LB and spent most of last season as a CM. If we were to see him in the first team, it'd be as a CM.
£4.75m for Ince according to the Derby Telegraph http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Der...on-Shackell/story-26745185-detail/story.html? Happy days really.
