Chris Waddle
Shame as both are brilliant young English playersCan't get them all.
But we also have some amazing ones coming through

he is a very smart, very dynamic young playerHave not seen him play, bur I see Leeds supporters say if he didnt have the deal he has, they could easy get 100 for him in 2 years time
I watched that vid last night and I don't think that is coached, it's outstanding natural situational awareness. I'm excited about this kid.Superb awareness of who is near him . He's been coached well to control it safe-side or into space away from the press with his first touch. Very good.

Sure a couple of others will be given a run out aswell. Hibs and qpr games, think we'll see a few.
Him and Bergvall are very similar in being comfortably two footed in tight areas and close control situations.No doubt a fair amount is natural ability. There's definitely a bit of coaching in there though too . I would compare it to Zidane's style of control, very similar imho.
I hope your not coming up for that game, as you will have tinkle off the Hearts fans if you call them Hibs
Do we expect him in and around the first team then? 52 apps last season at 17/18 years old so he's equipped at his age, wonder if he's going straight in.
I disagree heartily with this post until the transfer window shuts and we can fully take stock of our positionIt's not necessarily fair to hold it against Archie Gray but I was hoping we'd just buy the finished product in this position.
For the 2nd half of the season it barely mattered who started in midfield, they'd end up playing badly and Ange would shift things around at half time, then the following game he'd start the one he left out and they'd have a poor 1st half etc etc
I don't think anyone at that time was screaming "If only we a flashy hot prospect from the Swedish league or an up and coming championship player, that'd immediately solve our midfield woes". Both look like excellent additions in the long term but do we expect either to steady the ship for next season? If the only movement is losing PEH and gaining these two then we're looking a bit short still imo. Between the trio of Biss, Bentancur and Sarr, reliable and consistent are not adjectives that would come up a lot going by last season; that's possibly unfair on Sarr but age isn't an excuse of we buy young players, it's our choice to do so.
The hope is that Gray can make the step up a la Dele and like a fair few others I haven't seen enough of him to make a prediction on that. Plenty to like about this signing, English and able to cover (possibly thrive) in our RB hybrid position as well so my concerns above aren't bitching about him but we are looking a bit bereft of quality combined with experience imo. Players like Sarr and Gray should probably be learning from the best and who we have currently aren't the best.

Kimmich and Rodri are too expensive, and Busquets too old. Im not sure who else would be the finished product for that role?It's not necessarily fair to hold it against Archie Gray but I was hoping we'd just buy the finished product in this position.
