75 | Nico O'Reilly - 2024/25

[tackeds]

Star in the making. Made up for him. He dragged us through yesterday.

 

[simon23]

2 good goals and an ok performance...BUT he was sloppy with the ball at times - this needs to improve if he is going to make the step - his physical attributes are there to see for everyone...BUT does he have the football brain - he has a few years to see

 

[simon23]

He looks more like he simply belongs than any other youth academy product of the era. And I include Foden in that.

He's a prodigious talent.

What?

This is just romantic nonsense or a wind up!

He is ok at present - nothing more - he has good moments and also ones where he needs to improve..

 

[madloaf]

He looks comfortable, albeit against lower league teams, playing out of position. Nice to see he's got an eye for goal. Very promising. Could have played more this year and we'd really know what we have but Pep's Gundo blinkers have killed that.

A bit of romance and a bit of beer

I really like him, though. Technique + athleticism.

Yes great athleticsm I agree

Technique needs to be worked on

 

[mccity]

I don't know how good he can be, but his size means it'll be a lot easier to integrate him once he hits that minimum threshold to be considered a genuine squad option

It'll be a nice new thing to see an academy player break through who we don't need to worry about the physical stuff

 

[asahartford1]

His biggest attribute is the pace he runs with the ball.
Potential, but a long way to go.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Okay. Two things....
1. I would hope that any player, who feels he warrants more game time, wouldn't be happy to just sit back and sit on the bench at the club, and pick up his paycheque. And....

2. Has he actually made noises re maybe looking elsewhere to continue his career? If he has, I've missed it.

1. If he warrants more game time then he should either get that game time or understand the roadmap
2. The player might not have but my spider senses tell me his entourage may have been talking..

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

We need to get him on a new contract.. if what I'm reading is correct it expires this summer?

Not sure what your source is, but his contract definitely doesn't run out in the summer. If it did, we'd have sold him to Chelsea in January.

Apparently, the rumours are that he's one of the players the club are targeting for a new contract.

Signed one last year

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Haven't seen nearly enough of him to evaluate his potential. Great game last time out with a brace so he's got a lot of potential.

You can’t evaluate his potential, but he’s got a lot of potential?

I should have said, I can't evaluate his ceiling. LOL.

What's your hourly rate?

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Looking at who's available today he might not make the bench. Personally think that would be a shame because he gives us something different a goal and left sided cover so I would rather him than one of the many samey ageing midfielders sat there.

 

[skillman]

Needs to be given a proper chance. Not just in cup games against lower league opposition. Ridiculous now.

 

[King Jay]

Will only play when there are no players left. Look at Khusanov. They can be as good as they are Pep will rather play the others unless he has no choice.
