He is a 20 year old, with all the attributes to be a top player and who had to miss a whole season with injury. Clearly the scouts at Man Utd know nothing....
They know less then me about him I've seen every game he's played for us have they ? The kids ***** pal and once they've seen as much of him as I have they'll know the same as me
I witnessed every minute he spent on the pitch last season, including at Swindon when he was taken off at half time after giving away a stupid penalty, offering nothing in the middle of the park and being repeatedly skinned by anyone even slightly quicker than him (which was everyone). When I saw him come on at Derby as a 16 year old he looked like he would be destined for big things, but since then (and injury has played a part) he hasn't looked remotely like stepping up to the first team in League One. This is just my opinion and United/England taking him on trial hasn't changed what I've witnessed on the pitch.
i still think there's a player in there, but there's only so much time you can give. hopefully he'll kick on this season. i think this might be the last season to prove himself though.
The only thing he can do is pass. He's slow, has no agility and cant tackle. Offers nothing to our game at all, i'll wish him well when he does eventually go
What are the top attributes though? He's tall and looks strong yet he cant tackle. Hes slow around the field and doesn't get around to break up play. I once saw him break from the halfway line at Donny away into acres of space, he got to the 18 yard box clean through with teamates both left and right and **** himself, chance missed. A top player wouldnt pass up a chance like that. Maybe United fancy him as a CB as thats where his attributes would suit.
No but I've had sky sports for 20 years, been a season ticket holder 20 years, and listened talk sport 8 hours a day for 11 years so I'd say I know a bit about football, and that kids ****.
thereev's all conquering football knowledge tells me that after a long time analysing the technical and physical attributes, I have come to the informed conclusion that in fact, he is UTTER SHlTE. However, under a more professional regime than the total shambles at 'OUR CLUB' he may prosper. He wouldn't be the first would he? hth
I bet you don't I've got worst job in foundry, nobody here would do it apart from me, it's 163 degrees where I'm stood at the moment and that's in shade so to speak I get a 5 minute break every 15 minutes and get to listen radio all day and that's only good thing about it
That's fair enough. Those guys at Manchester United are clearly not using their time as well as you are..
I've seen pretty much every home appearance of Digby's & a few away ones & I've still no idea if he's any good or not. I just want to see him get a run of games to have a proper look at him but he's never had it whether that be down to injuries or managers preferring others who knows.
A class above what? I don't think he's *****, he certainly isn't a lost cause (yet) but he has shown us nothing since he first broke into the first team.
Maybe the BBS, or any football forum, isn't for you then? People have different opinions, some positive and some negative. Don't get your knickers in a twist over it.
