Looks like this is the trialist from the U21's 10-1 win
 
If the news articles are correct, let’s hope he matures equally as an adult, as he does a footballer.

He was caught with mates inhaling hippy crack whilst driving at the beginning of the year and whilst unknown if connected, Man City then released him a few months later.

I am all for clean slates and fresh starts, let’s just hope he takes the opportunity.

I know he's a little bit older, but I was speaking with a West Ham academy coach a few weeks ago. He said any misdemeanor of this sort for their lads is straight out the door (it's in their contracts), and they won't sign anyone under 18 who has a record of anything similar.

Could be some cockney exaggeration, but he said there was one kid who was 16, had been training with the first team (no appearances), and City had shown an interest. Caught doing laughing gas, and was out the door the next morning.

I mean it sounds pretty spot on. He was at West Ham when he was caught doing laughing gas. It’s just the piece was written when he was at Man City. Unclear why he left Man City. Looks like he received the punishment while there but it actually happened before he left West Ham.

Anyway, hope it’s something he’s learned from. Initial article is such a good example btw of the benefits of agents feeding reporters stories. No mention at all of his past!

Hippy crack ffs. Stupid kid, but let’s leave out the alarmist, Daily Mail sabre rattling names.

I used to do it quite a bit at Uni... would barely even call it drugs.
Makes you feel a bit light headed / ears ringing for about 30 seconds.

Incredibly dangerous to do whilst driving.
 
It's a bad barometer of general ability, however, on my Football Manager 23 save he was a great player for me in the Prem. Ball playing centre half. Not that it necessarily translates but he had absurdly good passing stats for a CB. Picked him up from the MLS tho after not breaking through here.

Based on this he'll definitely be a clogger and shit but fingers crossed.

Jacob Mellis springs to mind. Chelsea got rid after his youthful misdemeanours at their training ground and his career (and life) went into a terrible downward spiral thereafter. But it doesn’t have to be that way and plenty of people in all walks of life have learned from and thrived after youthful mistakes.

He really doesn’t. He took an air rifle to the training pitch and started letting off shots- this is some gas.
Would people turn their nose up at Kyle Walker? Is he ‘trouble’? As he did the same (albeit not in a car).

I had lazily assumed that because he had sprung to my mind it entitled me to use the phrase “springs to mind”. I now stand corrected. Thank you for your contribution to the debate.
