I'm reading he's a bit ****ed off at the moment and intimated he doesn't want to be in the Under 21 team anymore. Does he deserve a go? Is he being a little bitch about it or is he determined? Gotta admit I quite like the fact he wants more and doesn't just want to sit around playing ****e football. Considering Murphy looks shot to pieces, I'd happily give him a run out in his place. Sadly one cost us nothing, the other cost 12 mill, and the general laws of modern day PL ****housery is; the costliest player plays until he pisses off the fans by posting a picture of his Mercedes or some ****. Expect to see him farmed out on loan this January and go the way of Ameobi, Ferguson and Arma, just wouldn't mind seeing him given a go
Is it me or are old-fashioned wingers just struggling in the modern game? The 4-2-3-1 really relies on what would be termed "inside forwards", who are supposed to support the striker, rather than get to the byline. In Atsu there is the potential and he does come infield, obviously Ritchie does on the other side, but what about Aarons? It's probably a coaching/mental thing and until he learns to follow instructions he'll probably stay where he is for now.
Scores goals, gets assists, definitely has potential but needs to stay fit if he wants first team football. Think he has as much about him as Atsu certainly more ready than Murphy. I would love to see him get a run on the left handside as he looked like Sterling mk II a few years ago.
It's been suggested attitude, application and an over-enjoyment of extra-curricular activities are what's holding him back. I also heard he was less than stellar in some of the reserve games over the past weeks. It would be nice to see him break through though. There's plenty of talent there.
Didn't he try to glass someone recently for flirting with his Auntie? Just shows hes a young, lovely, sweet family man....
He has done **** all. He has done less for NUFC than Sameobi. Why people get their grubby little fingers wrapped around their shriveled cocks over him is a mystery.
Nothing to do with liking him. He hasn't done anything to warrant a place in the first team. Can't even do it for the reserves.
Agree. I remember when we had Lua Lua it was similar. He would come on as a substitute and the crowd invariably went bonkers. Felt like I was the only one thinking “so what exactly has he done to merit this?” Same feeling with Aarons.
In 77 first-team minutes he scored one and assisted one, more than most sameobi seasons. He looked gppd in pre-season and his comment came after he'd scored for the under 21s. I don't know how many games of the U21s you've extensively watched him in, but I'm not sure what else he can be doing. And my fingers may well be grubby, but I'd say I'm definitely full-mast over the whole thing.
With Atsu crocked it may be that Aarons will get some game time. I would like to see him get a run out, we need his pace, but in order to convince Rafa he is going to have to put in a shift tracking back too.
I'd like to see him given some game time. I like what I have seen. I don't like how little I've seen due to injuries.
