Cameron Manning
Player Valuation: £35m
“ Fantastic form in the league cup” ? They both came on in the last few minutes with the game won, no chance of them coming on if we were drawing, Small’s appearance was a sweetener for him to sign the contract he was offered, Onyango was the other player, just a taste of what it was like to play in the first team, then unfortunately he got injured in an FA youth cup tie and his season was over, hope he comes back this season and shows what he can do.Disagree completely. We had 2 young lads last year showing fantastic form in the league cup, but when opportunities came up through injury they were both overlooked. Out of form senior players were preferred and others played out of positions.
We haven't had a manager that trusted young players since Martinez and I very much doubt Benitez is any different.
