Sharp- no.
Didsy as a goal scorer no...as a creator and link man most definitely.

Do you think Hackford is premier league quality?

Never seen Hackford play, but I highly doubt he's an option for us anytime soon.

We are simply desperate for quality up front. Some of the existing strikers will only contribute in very specific circumstances.

And what figures are you using to back up the statement that Uackford would fare better than them?
Talking shit

I am not using figures it would be a gamble one that would be worth taking if money is in short supply as people are claiming.

And he is a highly thought of young talent why not give him a go? Rooney got a chance at 16 at Everton at that age you never know until the lad gets a chance.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain from giving him a chance even if it is from the bench to start with we have not scored in 3 games and none of our strikers have looked like scoring either.

And I am sure given the chance the majority of fans would rather see a young exciting talent given a go rather than those that have more than had their chance that are simply not good enough.

No one has an issue with McGoldrick playing as an attacking midfielder because he is as you say a creator and an intelligent player but as a striker in the premier league he is just not good enough.

I don’t know but very much doubt using Rooney as an example for Hackford is fair on the lad. Rooney was a generational talent at that age and unless I’m missing something I don’t think anyone is claiming our lad is that.

Not saying he is anywhere near that level just saying we will never know how good he can be if we don't give him that chance.

You don’t help youngsters fulfil their potential by chucking them in at the deep end. You can actually ruin people that way. Rooney was very talented but he was also so physically developed that he was ready. Obviously CWAK don’t think Hackford is at that point yet. You can make a good assessment of how good a player is without first team football in the Premier League - there’s youth team games, reserves / friendlies, first team training. I trust CWAK to have seen enough to decide how best to handle Hackford.

Seems incredibly naive that anyone would even suggest to throw Hackford in.
He's probably not even a patch on our aging Billy.
Hackford might be in non-league in two years, never being close to such incredibly high standards.

if you look back at Rooney at 16 he was clearly a huge man in comparison to the lads of his age.
Hackford isn’t.
You might look at these lads and think they are athletic and strong, and to the average bloke yes they are. Baring the rare exception like Rooney.
But having a son who has gone through the academy then apprentice pro ranks at a pro club I can tell you the difference is huge! Literally Men v Boys.
And Hackford wouldn’t stand a chance, and would face more damage to his prospects than improvement.
Your comment is ridiculous...I’m happy to accept we need replacements for Sharp and to some degree Didsy for the striker role, but suggesting Hackford as a viable option is ludicrous.

Exactly, especially when we're in a bit of a tricky period because the weight of expectation can be crushing. What if he turns out to not be ready? People like OrderOfStGeorge would hardly go easy on him, would they?

He's not ready for the hurly burly of the premier league just sixteen would spoil him expecting too much too soon.
Wilder would use him if he was ready ,he's highly thought of and if he progresses his time will come.
He is training with the 1st team so having a taste in pre-season shows he's getting there
 

Not a chance in hell that Hackford is anywhere near ready to be in the first team squad never mind actually playing. Leave him be in the youth set up and let him develop fully. I agree with Grizzly Blade and I have seen at first hand the difference in a young player and a seasoned pro and it is huge. Watching youth players makes you think they are ready, they aren’t. And on the subject of Brewster, personally I would go for the deal If the figures being mentioned are true. You don’t see many with his natural ability to put the ball in the net. He’s young but his physical size means he can cope. I think if we have any chance of getting him then do it.

I ran a business and gave many a chance. Not no hopers but people who had the possibility of making it and many did.
The difference here is that we cannot take the risk (yet) that he may not be good enough

Yep. And of course like I’d posted the same goes for Brewster if we sign him. I recall Berge been written off by some after 3 games and now it looks like we’ve got a real player on our hands. It take time for players to settle in especially younger players.

Is the club soon to be at risk of losing some or a sizeable proportion of the fans gained over the last 25 years?
