Anyone have a sense of how tall he is? Still growing I'm sure but looks pretty short for a defender.
 
No he’s not 5ft9 at all. He’s more like 5ft6 or 5ft7 max, possibly even 5ft5. And I think he’s finished growing height wise.
 
He's an attacking right back.

I'd be surprised if at 17 he is in the first team... but I absolutely want it.

People will say he's too young, but I say when opportunity strikes (lack of fullbacks, outstanding debut), who cares about age? Give him the backup position.
He has a grand total of 6 EDS games
A real talent for sure but he’s a baby. Still qualifies for the U18s next season, though will play EDS instead
Ridiculous to even consider throwing him into the first team squad imo

I know he's young, I said he's only 17.

He will most likely play EDS next season, I did say I'd be surprised if he's in the first team.

But I want him to just be pushed into a backup fullback position, because like I said, I don't think age matters when the opportunity is available and the talent is there.

Nothing ridiculous about it, you can say it's unlikely, but it's not ridiculous, many young players have excelled when given these opportunities even when very young.
 
Still a million miles to go whether he is or isn’t in tomorrows squad. Plenty of players have made the bench for clubs this weekend from the academy. Judge them when they’ve proved themselves over 10-20 games in the mens game.
Nothing to get excited over a right back neither.

Do you ever post anything that’s not negative? Asking for a friend

I have a realistic opinion on players. Nothing worse than hyping young players who haven’t done anything in the mens game yet.

And my post isn’t negative by the way.

Our manager knows when to play Them and when there ready they better than any of the shite in Trafford!
 
Good luck trying to replace Kyle walker with an academy player though! Hopefully we give the lad experience and sell him on for profit. But to replace Kyle’s pace, power and ability to get up and down the pitch, I just can’t see it coming from a young academy lad.

Kyle Walker also came from an academy.
 
I mean an academy player that comes through the ranks at the same club .
As I say my expectations are high, and I don’t think mcatee or palmer will make the grade neither at our club. Foden was a freak.

You might need to take a breather, we get it, you hate academy players because they havent played mens football yet, dont need to repeat over and over again.
