Oscar Bobb

I rate him and think he has a shot - he can do stuff that others really can't, especially with the final pass, but he can be a little frustrating too. He is a great prospect, IMO.

From the highlights.....he looks to be developing physically too.

As ive always said,wonderful talent and skill but so inconsistent and frustrating.Again from highlights only.....he does look like he is addressing those flaws.

Tough to call if he'll end up here or playing for some obscure team manged by an ex Rag manager.

Respectfully Fantasy...

This has never been true about Bobb (highlighted in bold). I think you should stop repeating this over and over again, it is not true.

For a kid in the Academy, he plays so much like David Silva it's unbelievable. Obviously whether he could carry that over to 1st team level could be a different thing, but he's got poise, control, can dribble and can pick a pass, so he's got a chance.

Love that reverse pass to the right wing near the end.

I have seen him play a number of times live at the Academy over the last couple of seasons and every time I see him I'm impressed. I'm not sure where people are getting he is inconsistent from he is anything but that, in the games I've watched he has performed better than some of the better known players like McAtee.

A very talented player who, hopefully, can make the next step. He has the ability to beat a player, and a delicious weight and accuracy of pass to create key chances.

I've been watching him since he arrived as an 8 stone midget,and i watched him against Dortmund a couple of weeks back.

He started brilliantly,controlling the midfield and making beautuful,incisive,passes.

Come the second half,he had all but vanished.

Thats what im talking about.....while he is undoubtedly improving,and growing physically,but he lacks the ability to effect a game for 90 mins.When he learns to do that,he will be dynamite.

Can’t see this kid making it with us tbh though he will probably have a half decent career in Germany or Holland

Players hardly impact a game for 90 minutes, unless maybe Messi or Grealish but with the latter it depends on the type of impact.

When i say impact,that also includes not disappearing or getting sloppy.There have been many games where he has been carried for periods,and that isnt good enough.

Just to reiterate......he is improving in every respect,and he has only just turned 19.

Personally,he'd have been another going on loan rather than stuck in the EDS.
