General Reserves Talk

Could someone update me on what happened with Crowley, why'd we let him go?

I had no idea until today, what a shame.

He wasn't good enough.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

On our youth teams, our greatest prospect is Nketiah. If he doesn't become at least a very good premier league striker, we'll have failed him.

Crowley wanted to play. He had not progressed as much as the club would have liked - not due to ability but he apparently had some attitude problems. He's rebuilding his career in Holland right now.

Arguable. He has the mentality needed to become a top class player.

Smith Rowe is impressive

I wonder if his rise is part of the reason why the club don’t seem that bothered at loosing Vlad.

No doubt in my mind that his rise played a part. Moving him central just exploded his game beyond even my own expectations. Began to control games.

Would just be insane if AMN, Nelson, Willock and Nketiah make it here! And it doesn't even stop there because I'm certain Smith-Rowe and Amiechi will have big chances too! With Daley-Campbell also.

Hydro the great forumer saw a lot of DeBruyne in him even when he was on the wings. Now even Smith-Rowe him self trying to emulate him to certain extend!

Smith Rowe seems like the replacemwnt for Ramsey eventually. I am very interested on how many opportunities he geta. He certainly looks like he has great lower body strength.

All could be part of an England squad in the future too.... fingers crossed.

Is there any compilation of Smith Rowe’s against Boreham at the weekend?

The De Bruyne comparisons should not be dragged too far. Smith-Rowe is miles ahead in development. If this is his physical level at 17, I can’t wait to see what he looks like in 5 years

 

[Song Billong]

I can't believe the quality of journalism these days... Scouring YouTube comments for quotes? Constant articles referencing one-liners from random fans?

It is pathetic.

Of course of course. Of course in the end every player become their own player! But I always said I saw a little DeBruyne in him at u18 level. Hope he make it at top level but of course he will by then have become his own player!

DeBruyne is not a bad player for Smith-Rowe to study and he has even said him self he thinks they are similar which imply he watch DeBruyne and try to learn a think or two!

 

[grange]

Exactly. We know De Bruyne has a Smith-Rowe poster on his wall.
