Good future but don't see Yann in him personally
Thought this too. Unless he has a mighty growth spurt he's a different type of midfielder to Mvila. Mvila could dominate a game physically. Mumba is just abit small for that but feet are so quick he's a player who can go past his man and generally break lines.

He's only 17? I don't think he's a first teamer right now. One reason is the amount of competition have in CM but also I think he'd end up inured. This league is brutal and the refs are a joke. Loan to Salford? Just put him in Baldwins suitcase.

There's no rush with Bali he's only 17. He looks promising but he's not so incredible that he's guaranteed to start for us or anyone else half decent so maybe a bit more time in the oven and send him out on loan in a year or two if he's progressing well.

Not saying give him a start, but he should be given a chance from the bench, (Burnley was one such opportunity) ,so that we can see, and he can feel that he has a future here, or he will just go the way of so many others. He has earned this chance imo. by his past cameos where he has greatly impressed, age has little to do with it, ask McGeady.

Yeah I'd like to see him get a chance as he does look a talent, it's a shame he's not a forward or a LB because CM is oversubscribed. The good thing is that time is on his side.
