Ghost of Clough Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 3 minutes ago, SaintRam said: POTY will be an interesting one this year. Before January, everyone, including Holmes was complete arse. Since Rooney started playing there are a number of improved players; Holmes most of all so far. Although if Bird keeps up his recent performances he might be in with a shot. Then there's Rooney himself, of course. Does the fan vote have requirements to make a vote? Need a fan number or something? Before Christmas I felt it was Lowe’s to lose. However, since then Holmes has been phenomenal. Young player of the year will be just as tough... Bogle, Knight, Bird, Lowe all in with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s always looked good for us, it was just managing to get 2/3 games back to back out of him without getting niggles. Cocu seems to have got that out of his game and we’re now seeing him consistently. I’d say finishing, decision making and final ball are the thing between him and premier league level.

bcnram Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 He has obvious talents but to me he looks difficult to play with. He makes runs into places where it is difficult to pass to him, and often (but not so much lately) stands on top of the player with the ball. He should learn a lot from playing with Rooney. POTY? I don’t think there is an obvious candidate yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there is an obvious candidate yet. How can someone who is always available for a pass hard to play with? Now he is playing with Bird and Rooney who both are actually using this "off-the-passing-shadow" ability. ("off-the-passing-shadow" is that even a term in English football? Makes sense anyway, right?) He does make runs where you wouldn't want to pass but those runs are made with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there is an obvious candidate yet. Players love to play with players that always make themselves available. Nothing worse when a team mate goes hiding behind his marker. Rooney is already benefiting from this, because it creates space & time for him to dictate play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Kirk - watched him (albeit not much - Port Vale supporting friend raves about him too) Nabil Alioui - seen him play for france u19's plus several videos online. Heorhii Tsitaishvili - saw him at u20 world cup plus again several videos online (also getting rave reviews and supposedly scouted by some big names) Leonidas Stergiou - mentioned him before. Friends a St. Gallen fan and thinks he's quality. But ok, You're correct, obviously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
