If he's not a future England star I'll eat my monkey's nuts. (and I've only ever said the same for a 17yr old Gary Lineker and an 18yr old John Barnes) Buy, buy, buy!
Gotta say he was pretty impressive yesterday, hope the lad makes it & maybe we get to sign him. That said, we were all thinking the same about Challobah two years ago weren't we? One swallow & all that -
Great to see young British talent emerge however a few decent games and will be bought by a premier league and destined then to be loaned back out and disappear back into obscurity.
Clough is an immense talent. Looked brilliant every time he's played. Dyche should take a look at him if Burnley manage to stay up.
Clough will be 20 in a couple of weeks. Cook has only just turned 18. He's quality. Cook's contract runs out in 2016. If we get promoted and Leeds don't extend his deal, I'd love for us to go in for him.
Two years of Sky money basically. That was clearly the plan from the start. Wing it for the first year, then they can either consolidate with the money they saved by not spending, or go down with a wedge of cash and be a force in the Championship. Sensible really.
Manager for the future based on his Dad and Grandad - I'm in. Replace Martinez to get some coaching experience now? #do-not-read-too-much-into-this
Actually it's a lie .... I also wrote to Stuart Pearce about Ashley Young being targeted by Jamaica, he was called up a week later.
He looked quite good but nothing amazing. Just because he's young and English he's getting hype, looked a similar standard to Battochio tbh.
Played 4 scored 4 in his first season of competitive football, certainly not a bad return! Averages a goal every 66 minutes. That's even better than Ighalo
He was very good but there are often championship fans in for buying other championship players I.e bournemouth fans - 'we should buy Deeney' - yeah, **** off. All the half decent championship players don't tend to move to stay in the division, he'll be off to premier league reserves soon. If we're buying British we need to make a find in League 1 or 2 if we're realistic. I did think this lad looked genuine quality though on Saturday.
Is he actually one of THE Cloughs, or is his surname just a coincidence? Anyway, we know what's going to happen: Liverpool will buy him for about 2 Million in the Summer, end up sitting in their reserves for half the season, then probably get sent on loan to Middlesbrough, then a couple of years later his contract expires and he's picked up on a free by Carlisle.
