Gary Lineker , John Aldridge and Micky Quinn to name a few made a career out of being “lucky” poachers. All about instinct and timing . Doubt he will have the career they had but good luck to the lad. Magicman, archram, richinspain and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Let’s not forget, he’s doing well in a league 1 club. That doesn’t make him a world beater yet. Maybe this is his level. And at the time we were in the championship, we didn’t need a striker good enough for league 1 (now we do). Darren bent mentioned in talk sport the other day that he played with him at derby, and other kids from the academy were way further ahead than him, so his first opinion was that he didn’t expect him to come to much, but is now pleased for him that he’s doing well at Plymouth. there’s nothing really to suggest that he’s the one that got away yet.

Magicman Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Has all the qualities to flourish. Smart minded, slick control and scores thats why we got £ 750k for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s doing well as the ball is falling for him and even today the goal keeper let it bobble past him today but he does fit in with Plymouth - have we got a sell on from Swansea ?

Maybe when he gets close to 20 goals, which doesn’t look so impossible, that £700k will look cheap. I’m seeing similarities with Jack Stretton too here, no doubt that will be ridiculed for awhile.

Day Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Swansea have the ability to recall him apparently, wouldn’t be surprised to see him head back in January to help with their promotion push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 5th top scorer and 3rd in assists in the league so far this season. One of a few of our players who were badly mismanaged at the time and destroyed their confidence. I'm glad he's proving himself to be an excellent player. rynny, Magicman, angieram and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I wished him well when he left, but to be honest have no time for him now ever since his celebration in the covid game v Swansea, and since. We had to sell him due to the position we were in at the time. He was absolutely nowhere near it, and when he went to Swansea he wasn’t much better hence why he’s now on loan in league 1. My observation when he was here was that he was probably the most naturally talented and the best athlete out of our academy products, but he didn’t believe it and as a result his performances were timid. People say oh he was poorly managed but he was given many chances but while showing occasional flashes he was useless for the most part. Ideally had we been a more stable club we could’ve done what Forest did with Brennan Johnson, and eased him into the team following loan experience. As with Johnson it looks like the loan in league one is just what he needed and to be honest, he’s the best player in league 1 at the moment. He was class last night and would walk into our team. I’m expecting him to show himself to be the player I thought he would be and play a starring role in the championship for Swansea, hopefully they call him back in January.

Whittaker took a season to adjusting to U18 and another year at U23 level. He was introduced to the first team a season too soon, and needed that following season to start adjusting to the step up. That was the season Rooney wanted to and eventually did sell him. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the situation behind the scenes with the club finances warranted it and probably helped get some bodies in. Agree he was introduced to the team too early. £700k was a good deal for the player then, he’s taken 18 months/2 years since to show anything. Had we been stable we could’ve let him develop. lrm14 and Sparkle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
