Congratulations KLP...

[NewcastleTiger]

There can be no complaints about Madueke, Elliott and Balogun starting ahead of him, they're all better players...

Is Balogun better though? He’s not pulling any trees up at Boro as of yet.

We were in a world of ****e in Bowen's first season. We were really struggling under Slutsky and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that without Bowen's goals, we'd probably have gone down or survived by the skin of our teeth.

The year Bowen left we had a worse squad than we do now and I don't think there's much to debate in the that.

But he still had Grosicki before he left. KLP is our creator and goal scorer. Bowen was the former.

First choice Leicester Left back
Liverpool bench player
Villa starter
Wolves loanee at Sheff utd
Big club bias…

I got those and 4 of the bench.

Totally agree. But he has to start somewhere and there is some quality young players in there. Be interesting to see what he can do with similar players around him.

Has he scored yet?

1-0 England Balogun 5mins

klp started on the bench.

with about 10 minutes left, england lead 3-1. andorra u21 have only ever won twice. they'e only ever scored 16 goals and the last 5 (inc today) have been against us.

At least get him on the bloody pitch.

At least get him on the bloody pitch.

looks like it'll have to be the monday night game.

 

[NewcastleTiger]

At least get him on the bloody pitch.

Shame because the wingers haven’t really impressed in this second half.

 

[GLP]

4-1 up when there was 5 minutes left - just get him on the pitch.

 

[philhul]

clearly saving him...these prem players have no stamina !

 

[HulltoHellandback]

Probably their way of saying this is what you could have if you leave "little unfashionable Hull City"

 

[NewcastleTiger]

It’s nice to see him getting recognition alongside all these household names, hopefully he gets chance to prove himself amongst them against Albania in a few days. All these players are the KLP of much bigger clubs which unfortunately will always play against him. He’ll get his chance and we all know he’ll take it and it’s only going to add more £££ to his future sale value.

 

[NewcastleTiger]

Harvey Cartwright played a full 90 for the u20s though.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

Whether he gets on the pitch or not this call-up, being around the quality of these players will only benefit him. Hopefully, he might get a few minutes in the next game, though that is going to be a tougher match than against Andorra, so probably unlikely.

I really like Keano but I think some of the numbers and price tags mentioned around him are just mad. This is a kid who's only scored 8 goals this season. Everyone compares him to Bowen, but he's not even close to Grosicki's Championship numbers. Yes, he's still young, but he's played over 100 games for us now and to be worthy of his price tag, he really should be much further along with his development. His end product is still too erratic and he misses way too many chances.

It's a huge step up to the PL, or even to a good Championship side. We've seen this year with Rogers at Bournemouth that even for a special young talent that it's difficult to play regularly for a top side.

If we get £15m guaranteed, it's an unbelievable deal in this post covid market. He's also had a good slice of fortune that the options for England u21s are somewhat depleted but it's still great to see a local lad in there.

To be honest, this is also why I think we'll keep him, I just can't see why anyone would offer us enough. There's better options out there like Brennan Johnson.

I agree with this but was keeping my mouth shut as I predicted Robertson would be back on loan with us in 18 months when Liverpool signed him … he’s a good player with lots of potential but that’s all it as the moment . If he was an opposition player I wouldn’t fear him , I wouldn’t be thinking ****ing hell they’ve got that KLP ,I don’t see what everybody else is seeing . If we got a massive bid that helped us build a better squad I genuinely wouldn’t be that arsed

It was great how they went down there to support him.

What I would say is that obviously, Lee Carsley obviously see a player in him, Brentford are past masters at uncovering good talent, as are West Ham. I think they know a bit more about what they see in him than we probably do. IMO, he has been playing in a team that has struggled to supply the front players with enough quality balls to be able to create and score more goals. In a team, that has better providers in midfield, I think you will see a different player.
