Lol, you'll be the "keen watchers of the City youth set-up" then Twosips?Actually, one of the Guardian's journalists DM'd me on twitter asking about him. I'm a big fan of Duhaney, so i guess he's been influenced by my twitter feed, which is hilarious. The brief is a young, English first year scholar though i think, and in that category he's one of our best to be fair. So its not totally undeserved. Just a journalist trying to be a bit left-field.
In general though I really like Duhaney. Just a very good all round fullback. Two-footed, fast, defensively solid. Can cross with every foot, well too. And he scored an absolute blinder as well against Blackburn. Just an impressive, competent all-round footballer.
The Guardian have a propensity to write 'big up' articles surrounding a particular agency and even negative stories about managers who are in negotiations with said agencyI take it I wasn't the only one who found it a bit odd that the Guardian selected him out of all our academy prospects? It seemed a bit baffling

Edit: they're not all English BTW, "The Guardian looks at some of the best young talent coming through at Premier League clubs, identifying one player from each club born between 1 September 1998 and 31 August 1999"
Not implying it's not genuine mate, just that I trust the Gruaniad's football writers as much as I would trust Pol Pot with baby sitting my kidsGuess I will be! ha.
I get squirty's insinuation there, but I think in this instance Jamie Jackson has genuinely just read one of the reports and thought 'he sounds decent', cos he then asked me a fair few innocuous questions via DM. He was struggling to find info at all, which isn't what you'd expect if an agency was tipping him off.
Strange. Thought Pep rated him after giving him playing time in preseason and naming him on the bench against Shakhtar in the CL and Leicester in the league cupBeen released. Shame, I liked him as a player.
Good luck lad!
I think he played a pre-season game against Chelsea. He might have got some minutes in a cup tie since then, I don't remember. But in the pre-season game he looked miles off it against a Chelsea youngster. I'm not surprised he's been released. Best thing for him really. He can get on with trying to become a footballer.
