Mason Holgate

Barnsley fans seem of mixed opinion over him but I think their judgement is slightly clouded after seeing a world class prospect coming through in Stones.

A few are mentioning that him/his agent think they're better than they are as well, but I think Martinez would swerve him if that was the case.

Heard the same from a Barnsley fan at work. Doesn't rate him too much and would've been happy with a million for him. Think we're paying £2mill aren't we?

Desperate times. Short of money and short of cover.

It might be in Stones contract to get a mate over for him to stay!

Should be signed today.

From Roberto's press conference "He will join our golden generation of youngsters" ...touch OTT I'd suggest.

Hope they are better than the England golden generation who flopped at every opportunity.

He's right though....let's keep some positives!

True. We do have a very good core of young players Stones, Browning, Galloway, Garbutt, Deulofeu, Besic, Barkley, Lukaku.

To be fair, potentially(key word) we do have a very good young crop of players coming through together. It's quite exciting if they all develop how we expect them too. Doesn't address the here and now though.

Anyway, welcome Young Colgate.

Brushing these jokes aside, I think he may well turn out to be a good signing. Fingers crossed

Think he's including the likes of Ledson, Dowell, Pennington etc in the 'Golden Generation' tag too.

well i trust the views of those in the youth thread and it does seem to have that golden generation feel about it. just hope such things can happen in this day and age.

I appreciate what Moyes done, but hope im not the only one, but i feel that our Youth has come on leaps and bounds since Roberto has took over, anyone else the same?
