Maybe he'll come back st the end of his career like Barmby? If he ends up at a club like that, it means our academy is finally fit for purpose. Hopefully it'll go from strength to strength.
The problem with kids moving on to big clubs is they tend to get stifled and suffocated amongst the talent and competition for places. He'd be much better hanging around here and trying to get some first team action. You see it time and time again.
I don't think him playing today means he's leaving, but someone telling me we're playing him because we think there's a decent chance we're about to lose him makes me think we might. He certainly looked the part today, he's only 16, the conditions were absolutely appalling, yet he still looked the part. In fact, a couple of those runs into the box were very Robertsonesque.
Hopefully can keep hold of him. Didn't see the game today but would be good to have a replacement for Robbo in the future and always good to see young lads coming through.
Great that we appear to have a very promising 16 year old LB. But, doesn't it make you wonder though, that after all the money Bruce has spent and all the players he's brought in, we have no natural, ready replacement for Robertson? And please don't say Clucas. The player who Bruce says is most comfortable playing 'up front', who he plays on the left (or right!) of midfield, but can fill in at LB (as can Dave).
Tymon looks far more comfortable at left back than Clucas does, if it came to it, I wouldn't be too concerned about playing him in a league game.
@JoshuaTymon Wow. What a day! Ridiculous experience playing in the FA cup and making my debut!fans were amazing thank you all #33
Just rember Josh, you're much closer to a regular first team place with City than you ever would be with a Man Utd or Liverpool. Think longer term, you have plenty of time on your side, you know it makes sense. Well done and congratulations on a very successful debut, you've made a lot of old black and amber codgers very proud
Josh can turn these teams down though, right? He's from Hull and he's on the fringes of our first team, looking good for a return to the PL. I'm not so sure he will actually go unless it's a big 4 team.
If it's a big four team, and he's interested in first team football, that's even more reason that he should stay.
It's hard to keep hold of a player being chased by a big club, however much he loves his home town club. We all want to be the best we can be.
Don't see that, we're asking kids to come to us. If they're good enough they will play or soon leave, but their development will benefit. Granted, there are always exceptions.
If Bruce hd done his job properly and kept us in the EPL, we wouldn't be worrying about losing Tymon for a pittance. For the record I think we'll recieve £12.5k up front, plus nothing as he'll never reach 10 league appearances for his parent club. But if he did, we'd get £150k when he does.
