K.Mac, Shaun Miller AND Girolamo

[dublin 10 blade]

I can't imagine what Everton were thinking starting Wayne Rooney at 16. and before you get your knickers in a twist, I am not comparing.. just saying he was unproven and around the same age. Your hero Wilson was starting to get him in the 1st team x

Beat me to it fella , was going to make this point , mate of my son is Forests under age keeper and he played very well when he played against scab friends scored a few If memory serves my right , if he's good enough he's old enough.Wtched Arsenal over the w-end and they brought on a 16 year old.

I think the point people are trying to make is that it's ridiculous to pin hope on him being the straight replacement for McDonald.

You could see Kyle Walker was gonna make it to a high level the moment he made his debut, however, Kyle Naughton was ahead of him at first as he'd matured better.

Take Jagielka for example. How many games did he play for us before he went to CB? He clearly wasn't ready for that role at that time and now he's probably 2nd or 3rd choice England CB

 

[Bladesway]

I think that there would be. There was plenty of chat around the 2 Kyles and Billy Sharp. There are always players that just stand out. At the moment the talent is still raw but there is more to him than just his name. I am sure that the Italian U-18 manager wasn't exactly impressed by his name

There was a lot of chat about David Frain for those who can remember.

 

[SwissBlade]

I think de Girolamo will be back training next month. I saw him at Gosforth last month and someone posted in here (or BM) saying that de Girolamo was saying that he starts training in Sept

And he'll be starting training from scratch, so Xmas would be about right

 

[Bladesman]

If you score 1 goal for us your a proven goal scorer

Exactly that is why Porter can't be dropped.

 

[DazBlade88]

Apart from on Saturday, you mean?

Oooh, this could be a thread all by itself.

Ben Doane. Tyrone Thompson. Ian Ross

??...... Frain signed for us from Dronfield United (Norton Woodseats changed their name in a bid to attract fans from Dronfield but it wasnt a success and they reverted back to their original name before folding) in 1985-86 season when he was 23. Dont think he was in the SUFC youth team in the late 1970s early 1980s

I know what ya mean Matt , and would'nt heap that much pressure on the young un , just hope if he turns out half as good as people think ,and does'nt turn into a slew ,

Ben Doane. Tyrone Thompson. Ian Ross

Wasn't he the feared strike partner of Phil McAvity???

 

[Kenilworth]

Wonder if his name was Bill Socket if there would be quite the same fuss?

Bill Socket? Great name! Will you allow me to be the first one to give the lad a plug?

 

[bricktop]

If you score 1 goal for us your a proven goal scorer

So what does that make Chris Porter?

 

[Bladesway]

He has electric pace so i am told.

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

a waste of space

 

[bricktop]

Thank you for the clarification

 

[DazBlade88]

He has electric pace so i am told.

I'm not sure about that, but he might have the creative spark to plug the gap in midfield.

 

[Guesty]

He'd get in the current side, that's for sure.

 

[Jehovah]

He'd get in the current side, that's for sure.

So would monty

 

[Kenilworth]

Talk about taking crumbs from the table - Strewth!

To think you could have had:

• Although he's not very current, some of his play is totally direct.
• I've heard he has a suspect temperament - almost blew a fuse the other day
• Not very useful in the air he is probably better on the ground and he's often the first one to get us a lead
• He once had a great partnership with Maurice Volz
• At one point in his career he was screwed but since then he has been moulded into shape

.

 

[DazBlade88]

He could be an entertaining watch for the neutral too, as I've heard he's a bit of a live wire.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

He's very good at alternating between the right and left wing.

 

[Guesty]

But he's also very down to earth.

Not something that could be said of Darren and WalthamstowBlade

 

[DazBlade88]

But he's also very down to earth.

I was tempted to mention that too as a three-pronged plug pun.

 

[Foxy]

We've have no chance of signing him, it's be too much of a wrench for him to leave his current club.

 

[Guesty]

You were ohming and ahing about including it were you?

Blimey, that's a stretch.

 

[Foxy]

You were ohming and ahing about including it were you?

He was, but he couldn't resist(or).

What can I say? I thought I'd have ample opportunity to get another one in somewhere.

I make no apology, I gave you the name to work with, nuff said. Actually a player called Nuff Said would probably be a good one as well. Bet he talks a good game.
