Absolute class! Back heel flick when the ball's dropping and it sets up perfectly for an instant cross... One of the best things ive seen for a while. Longer we can keep hold of him the better!
Has the talent without a doubt. He had plenty of chances to shoot tonight and chose not to.... just experience .... has the skill and composure of players twice his age.... he won't be with us much longer, I think. Great performance tonight, possibly his best in a Reds shirt.
Yes. Absolute Class! Won't have done himself any harm if any scouts were watching him tonight that's for sure!
Stunning ball skills with growing confidence. He did it again second half, reverse backheel just to create space and lose his man, before pinging a perfect ball over to Golbourne. Outstanding talent, the best we have seen for years.
I hated it. I was hoping he'd have a poor game so all the scouts would bugger off back to their clubs saying he's not ready. Unfortunately he looked like he could walk in to a Premier League side.
Outstanding tonight.......that touch in first half near corner flag was just out of this world. The rate he is developing (and listening Flicker praise him for his positional flexibility) then the £3M that people keep thinking is a decent fee looks a steal. I'd say £5M now......no less.
It was remeniscent of a young Mick McArthy who showed up an opponent by doing the first ever Cruyff turn I had seen live at Oakwell just in front of me in the corner of the Terrace and the Ponty. I have to say he is an exciting talent and one who should go on to play for England!!! You Reds!
3million for him and I'd be really disappointed. With a sell on clause and more money when he gets an England call up I think 3 million would be acceptable. But the balls in our court he's got a long time on his contract and if we keep him and he moves on when it ends we will still get a decent payout due to bosman ruling so I think last night him playing and not being at home wrapped in cotton wool sent out a message to any possible bidders that we want to keep him or only a big offer could persuade us to sell!
I'm going to be gutted if we lose him. I hate the fact that we nurture and develop a talent and then within half a season the premier league vultures are circling ready to try and steal him away. I’d hate to see him go to a premier league club and just rot in the reserves – how is that going to help him to develop? I wish Don would just tell them to eff off and that he isn't for sale this season. I would issue a statement saying we value him at £5m and nothing below that will be considered.
