Particularly if he can't get a game for the reserves
Never mind the ressies. The U21s is where its at.
Aye, cos what was de rigeour 30 years ago should be replicated nowadays.
Hold on til I put this fucking response in an envelope and post it to you while I'm at it.
You realise this is an exercise in futility don't you?
Which? Telling Ossi that Illori is real and has played for the reserves, or telling Ryan for the twentymillioneth time that Macca's got him on ignore?
He's 18, give it time.
He's 20 I think

in the last 3 1/2 months ( i got bored of checking then) the U21s have played 7 games , 2 of which were friendlies, and it looks like he only played in 3 of them . Has he been injured ? Cause if not 3 games in 3 1/2 months isn't going to develop anyone .Is this really the best way to progress a player like him ?
21 next month.
But can we please keep a defender past the age of 23, I mean we were quick to get rid of Paletta and San José and they seem to be doing pretty well now.
What age was Flanagan when you wrote him off?
17.
Still not sure about him to be honest.
This thread has upset written all over it.
I think it does too - central defenders are rarely particularly good at age 20.
The worry is that by buying him at this stage of his development then plonking him in the reserves behind four established first team centre backs (I'm not even considering Coates or Wisdom in the equation) runs the risk that we stall his development and cost ourselves a nice wedge that could have been used more wisely in strengthening the first team.
I can only think a deal to sell Agger / Skrtel fell through. Otherwise the deal doesn't make much sense to me.
Yeah this is always a concern. It's a shame in a way because he's looked the part for the reserves - well above the standard of his team mates, and he looks like he could be moulded into that tall, commanding presence that reads the game well. Something we've lacked since Hyypia.
Aye Ross, but as you and I were told by the masses at the time: selling Agger for 20M last summer would have been a "terrible idea".
Thankfully we were schooled properly on that one.
We'll never learn
Except you've quoted him, so he can read it now.
It's the forum equivalent of whispering in someone's ear that someone else said something about them.
Shit stirrer. 😉
This is so good that I amended the thread title.
I hope no one thinks he's dead though. What with him never even playing for the ressies I'm sure some people could jump to that conclusion.
Slightly more niche that one though. Plus I fucking HATE Balamory.
Loser
I thought he hadn't played for the reserves ...
