CONFIRMED Luke Thomas - Season Long Loan

[Chief14]

Never been a prem player, he’ll quickly drop down the leagues once released by Leicester

 

[Frank the tank]

pining for larouci

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Harry Boyes should be first choice after January, unless we want to sign someone

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Between Thomas , Lowe & Larouci … wow what an embarrassment of riches at left back …. I’d take RBD on crutches above all these

 

[crooked bladesman]

He'd struggle to get a game for the u 10s at any other club.

 

[Rodley]

Will be in league two in a few seasons

 

[crooked bladesman]

Will be in league two in a few seasons

He won't be that lucky.

 

[Kev Gee]

Will be in league two in a few seasons

Possibly with us!!

Another Paul Mitchell scouting masterstroke?

 

[Wards]

From his fairly promising debut to one of the worst players I've seen in a Blades shirt. Impressive turnaround from the young man.

 

[Large Mendonca]

To think, we used one of our precious loan slots on this…..”baller”

 

[Argentinemanager]

A few people will probabally be upset with his performance today as he did nothing wrong, probabally his best game for us , could wilder make a player out of him. Ive been critical in the past but must give credit for today

Agreed, considering he was up against one of the best RWB's in the world he put a good shift in.

 

[Russ]

Credit where credit is due, he did alright.

I thought Bogle was our best player though today.

 

[Rudders]

We need so much better than him. Small, lacks athleticism and offers nothing going forwards. May as well get Osborn in if we are even discussing this lad

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Did well today although for purely comedy reasons I almost wanted to see Larouci try and cope with walker.

He did ok today, however he should not have started. I've seen enough of him to see he's not good enough. Send him back and release another loan spot, We've got more than enough LBs/LWBs to cope.

 

[Weasel]

He is definitely not the long term answer and we should get shut of him asap. That said, credit where it's due. He did ok today. But there is better out there and he needs to be moved on / go back to Leicester.

He is not good enough but was fine today. I thought Robinson was our poorest defender actually and he has not been great the last two games. Though the two wing backs were fine. Trusty is very ordinary - don't the fuss some are making over him. He does not win many headers, isn't that quick and is not physically dominating at all. He is also not great on the ball. Maybe in the Champ he will be fine but another signing that is not up to this level for me.

 

[Wards]

Did ok defensively today but he's fucking useless with a football at his feet.

 

[metalblade]

His best game for us today but that isn't saying much when all season he has performed somewhere between poor and bobbar

 

[Slim Man]

He’s so beige and ineffectual.

At least Larouchi (aside from being hilarious) can actually take a man on and attack

 

[South stand tut]

This is the problem with so many of the squad. They really have to raise their game to become just ok. And it then becomes worthy of comment that they were average and not laughably bad !

None of our players are up to this level, so it’s not really a significant benchmark.

What if Leicester don’t want him back ?

 

[Bladey_blade]

What if Leicester don’t want him back ?

They sell him when he goes back?

Let's be honest here, we all know we were up against it, and every week against top class opposition but none of them are anywhere near prem class, not there fault I admit just what we can afford!! But it's got to the stage watching this it's sole destroying week after week.just wish the season ( or pain) would end now!!

 

[1973Blade]

I've been critical of Luke Thomas but thought he had a decent solid game today.

 

[raimond]

He did great today bless him, credit to him, showed pride and character. Now FFS get him sent back

 

[JohnDenver]

I agree with the point you’re making but I’d refine it a bit to say none of our players are good enough to independently thrive at this level.

I do think a number could certainly do a decent job at prem level if surrounded by better, more experienced players. We’re just asking far too much of them now.

Stick peak Henderson, O’Connell and Didz into the current side and I reckon our better current players could step up. The Prince’s utter fantasy that they’d step up unaided was just nonsense.

Agreed JD.. Traore would bag 30 goals for City
