Anyone catch his interview with Humberside tonight?

Just caught a bit of it where he said there had been interest from some Championship and Premiership teams in the January window but felt it was the right time to stay.

If he hits a bit of form now he’s fit it could really help us stay up.

What a load of cobblers. No way near that standard.

Given that he is completely unproven at L2 level - having a couple of promising moments in a game every 3 weeks not really being enough to establish credibility at any level, I'd be utterly astonished if any Championship or Premiership club was prepared to sign (and play) him on that basis.
Sure he looks to have great skill (at times). He has flashes of exciting and technical promise but how many times has he turned a game? Run a game? How many goals in L2? How many assists? Relatively speaking, he's done nothing in the game yet.

Not now, but potentially he is, and lot's of teams buy potential when it's still relatively cheap. Still only 21 and hasn't played 2 dozen games yet in his career. He was definitely being scouted and looked the part for a couple of months. It all caught up with him a bit as it so often does with young players at the beginning of their careers. Depends how he now develops.

Good player when things come off, sadly that is not very often ,, does too much and runs more in too trouble and ends up giving ball away

^ Fair assessment ^

It could also be that teams from a higher level might think he'd excel playing in a better team in a better division.

Even when he was in good form earlier in the season, he still didn't receive the ball in the opposition half, facing the opposition goal.

You could argue he's partly responsible for that. But you could also argue that we are not a team that dominate possession or can consistently progress controlled possession up the pitch in order to get players on the ball in the final third with suitable support around them.

Yeah he's inconsistent with decision-making as all players at this level probably are, particularly young players. But he does have some ability on the ball and could flourish in a team suited to his strengths. That team could well be us next season?

I think he's more likely to prosper with better players around him. Both in terms of receiving the ball and having someone to pass it on to. And also because he'll learn more. No sure who in our squad he could learn from. Davies maybe?

He has a ton of potential and I think he's the type who will realise it. If he has better coaching and better players around him then he'll excel I'm sure. Still a young  player a team could pick up cheap and then loan him out for a season so he gets more games. I think in a couple of years of getting experience he'll be a really good player.

I like the lad i really i do and feel he could go to the championship but am afraid the lad is living off a few decent games the beginning of the season .
