Luke Mbete | On loan at Huddersfield

[penalty spot]

With us extending his contract think he will play in the early stages of the cup and be on the bench again.
He must be showing promise when training with us so high hopes for him. Especially if Ake goes.

Prob bumped up to captain of the Eds and training with the first this year.

 

[Gabriel]

Built like the proverbial and the sort of lad for whom the 5 sub rule could be a blessing.

Or it's preparatory to him going out on loan for the season and us bringing back Callum Doyle with similar chances given. I think it's going to be a very interesting season coming up.

I really hope he, or some other young defender, can get some game time this season. It is difficult to believe that Garcia is regarded as the best defender to graduate from the EDS in recent years. He was the only one that Pep seemed willing to play.

I’m really impressed by Luke.

I just saw the post-game interview and he handled himself with maturity and thoughtfulness. I have the feeling he is really going to progress in the next couple of seasons.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

He had a good game, I was hoping there would be more comments here.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Very solid, needs a bit more composure when bring the ball into mid. He charges with it, needs to watch Stones bringing it out. Decent passer, very calm, strong and decent reading.

Capt. for the EDS this season written all over him

 

[bobom]

V impressive. Agree with poster above - just a bit of judgement/experience needed, but so promising.

 

[Legal Alien]

I thought he played well last night, very composed and his passing was good.
He didn't look out of place and i'm excited about him

 

[CatMan]

Yep he was great last night. Only watched the 1st half but was strong, quick and composed with a good pass. Certainly is a player that will either make it with us or bring in an enormous transfer fee for any purchaser.

Looks to be back on pre-injury trajectory,which means a very athletic and promising defender.

 

[footballmanager]

would like to have kompany coaching this lad for a while, or just loaning him to a championship team that plays from the back. Those reps at an high level would do wonders for the lad

 

[KCblue]

Don’t think it’s a huge claim or anything, but I think he’s the most likely of our young CBs to eventually break through to the first team

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

Any update on the lad?

Update: Just seen on twitter

Looks like he's going out on loan.

Another update

It’s like we’re purposely handicapping ourselves this season loaning out all of our depth.

Who is to play these games when the 13 first team players we have pick up injuries from playing every 3 days? Silly to me this season.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Initially, I had no worries about our squad depth but we are looking really thin now. I know Pep hates a bloated team but we are getting close to anorexic level now.
