For me his problem is that he's a natural for playing centrally behind the striker but he doesn't have the experience.

He's not strong enough to play centre mid or quick enough to play wide ..,.

... for both of those reasons he's never a full back.

quite a lot of our younguns going out on loan to northern leage clubs. went to watch RCA play at Shildon a few weeks back, both Ryan Leonard and Connor Slack played for RCA, good experience and match fitness. we should encourage it. ( they can be recalled to play for any safc games)

Southend loan out some of their young prospects to some of the non-league sides I go and watch down here. The physicality of it probably does them good.

What worries me is no one seems to know his best position.

It a good he is learning multiple roles but at some point we / him has to pick a position

Hopefully they discover one whilst he's at Shields. Good for him to get "man" game time.

I thinks he will go there to play CM

In my opinion the move is about building up his strength and stamina by playing regular football.

it will be interesting to see how the move develops for both clubs

His problem is that he doesn't appear to be much good.
Shields will be his last chance.
Fail there and he's done.

Looked good to me in the glimpses we've seen.

Certainly plenty potential there. Disappointed he wasn't given more first team exposure.

I played against Bali last summer and I can remember coming on here telling everybody that the guy wasn’t even close to being ready for our first team. The writing looks to be on the wall for him, now.

I had great hopes for this lad and still do, not his fault that the Academy seems not to know what its doing. Lets hope he does well and eventually, if given a fair chance, proves his doubters wrong.

It doesn't bode well for our attempts to keep young talent though. I think it's safe to say that this lad was the best 15 year old prospect we've had in years... All of those other lads who left for Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. might be playing at a youth level but I can guarantee they're not jealous of Mumba playing for South Shields. We need to get youngsters into our first team, it's appalling that this lads career has been allowed to stagnate like this.
