How old is this kid again?
With Gibson once again looking to be out for quite a while is it time we bring John up into the first team squad? Our only midfield cover now is Ossie we're looking very light on in central midfielders.
Isn't Grant a defender?
Bloody ell.
World Class? Exciting times
Whats happened to the Hoff??? I miss him, five months since his last post.
Where has the consensus that Lundstram is our best prospect come from? Or that he might be ready to feature for us (apart from expediency due to Gibson being hurt)? Is it his FIFA score? Or that he plays for England youth? I'm not doubting that he's ready, or that there are people on here who could give an informed opinion about him, but I suspect most of us haven't been watching the Reserves/Doncaster fixtures lately, and it just seems like a given now that he and Green are our best prospects now that Barkley is established. The same was true for Rodwell, for instance, and I'm not sure too many people could really explain what he was supposed to be, and why it didn't turn out that way (so far). I wish there was more media/blog attention devoted toward scouting and youth development in the Premier League, the way there is for American sports like baseball now, though I suspect it's more a closed shop over here - it's hard enough even getting accurate numbers on wages and transfer fees.
It's too bad we're out of the League Cup so soon, as it'd be a good chance for Lundstram to get some experience, if he's ready (a la Stones). And too bad about Gibson too... he was an affordable, efficient backup for Barry/McCarthy, and we'll struggle to replace him for that price.
not sure why anyone ever mentions green as our best prospect. talented yes but its far from a given he'll make it as a pro at this stage never mind make it with us. hes not even established in the u-21's as yet.
