That's the projection, they seem to like him a lot as a #6 (so do i) but he has just as much potential in Xhakas position and has a bit more thrust. Left #8, #6 and at a push LB are the main areas of interest. Have a feeling he's gonna be pushed as a #6 as there's a couple other interesting looking 8s coming up in Ayden Heaven and Bless Akolbire but need to see more of them at u18 level.
Neither our u18 or U21 are great for their level. There are several teams in this country who are better than the u18 he plays for even in London. Actually 5 London teams are ahead of them in their league
That wasn't the case, people only wanted squad roles for them that were given to plumbers like Elneny, Laca, Luiz, etc. That was a fair shout to promote kids faster rather than overpaying useless seniors at the time we were struggling financially and we didn't compete for anything
Not reinventing the past even for squad roles they were/are not at the level needed at the time.
Agree, just like Luiz, Laca, and Elneny weren't, which is more visible these days.
But how can azeez be better than el neny when he can’t even fully nail a place in segunda or championship team. We tend to hugely overrate our youth
Azeez probably not the best example in hindsight. Has had an incredibly disappointing pro career so far relative to his talent level. People were quite OTT with Patino aswell, I do remember feeling as though he'd take a while to be ready.
You honestly think Nwaneri is the one making any decisions? Kid is 15. It's def his parents and agentI would seriously doubt the decision making of Nwaneri if he went to Chelsea. At that point I would say good riddance, the lad is a total fool.
Hutchinson is 3,5 years older and is mostly out of squad and still playing for U21, while Boehly is a crazy man in the transfer market.
That would be like the worst career move ever.
It doesn't matter much who makes the decisions. If he is ill-advised now and goes with it, he will be in the future too.
Don't attack a 15 year old lol. It's clearly the adults in his life that want the move. The love of money is the root of all evil.
Kane is one ugly son of a gun.Very true.
Though at least Anelka won 2 English Doubles, a Champions League and a Euros...Harry will be switching sports soon to try and get his hands on some silverware.
Hang on...
If he refines his game, Skelly would be a menace in that Xhaka position. I honestly believe he has the most raw talent in an academy prospect I have seen since Wilshere. But he still needs a lot of polish. Hopefully he can also grow a bit taller.
Yeah I understand, they will manipulate him. I was hoping he would be a normal kid like Saka who wants to play football and loves Arsenal, but better to part ways now if that's not the case.
Bit harsh on three good pros tbh
Saka isn't normal.
