52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

We have to find a pathway for him or else we could lose a special talent here.

McAtee is a very good young player, Palmer is a very good young player... But Bobb is a level above these two for me.

What sets him apart is his football intelligence and decision making. He just looks far more composed than the other two.

If we played him enough and really worked on his development into the first team, we could have a younger David Silva or Martin Odegaard on our hands here... And I'm not even joking when I say it.

I don’t agree with that. I think palmer in particular is more talented. Bobb needs to prove himself first.

The problem all of our young players have is that I can’t see him getting enough game time to develop.

Watched this lad in the youth team that bit of skill he showed today is the norm in the youth team! The lads a top player he needs the foden softly softly approach

Excited to see more of him. Looked like a real talent

Palmer is a more of an individual that can create something out of nothing for himself, but Bobb has the attributes that Pep Guardiola's teams require. Close control, ball retention, football intelligence... Just has such a smooth playing style.

If both players play regularly, I believe Bobb will become the better player personally.

Wonderful to see him get his own performance thread.........


He was retained,his path cleared,while others went on loan,for very good reason.

Hopefully those few minutes soon get built upon,he can be incredible.

Nice trick today

From those that have watched him at youth level, what is his main position?

 

[brazilians hurt]

I like the cut of his jib. Not short on confidence/cullions. Hope he can push on

Not seen him in the youth team but I reckon Pep might turn him into a decent centre back

Palmer tried closing the door on the way out and Bobb has seemingly booted it back open. Hope he gets more minutes and chances!
