Sometimes it takes a lucky break to force coaches to give young players a chance and then realise that for some, the step up through the glass ceiling is not as big as folk would have you believe Exact same thing happened to Kieran Tierney at us, he was third choice LB for the development squad and on a 1 year deal when he got a chance with us due to injury and nt making the development squad who were away playing a game when the first team LB got injured. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just checked and it's Luton rignt. They are going bonkers about him, read Nathan Jones post match comments from Tuesday its quite unusual to hear a manager be that glowing about a player. Got MoTM 2 games on the spin, just needs to get the goals and assists flowing like he did at Blackpool last season and he'll be in fine fettle. I must admit he's surprised me, a year ago I'd never have thought he was good enough for this level but there's potential for him to become a PL player its just whether he should stay with us or work his way here with a club that will build a side around him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good stuff, good to see him doing well, a bit of a late developer it seems as like you say I thought he'd have missed the boat n being an EPL player at Leicester anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is, getting into the team is a much bigger step than (see Hamza) but I'd like both to be given a chance next year. I hope there all given good and prolonged chances. As much as the mere name spikes the cortisol levels in some posters here, Puel gave Hamza a massively unexpected chance and persisted with Chilwell. Barnes pretty much demanded inclusion however in a position where we really needed someone. Bren has used Thomas plenty and has persisted with Justin when some fans were getting on his back. Knight, I think, could get some games in a back three. KDH will have to get past Maddison, Tielemans and Praet which will be a tall order. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martyn 1,370 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 Even if he doesn't make it here, it's nice to see we're producing players capable of playing at a decent level. Seems pretty clear KDH is going to be a decent Championship player at the very least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is absolutely mad. I think for us Luke Thomas is that guy, he probably would have been another 2/3 years and possibly a loan away before getting a first team cap in normal circumstances. Our own Muzzy often struggled to get game time for chelsea reserves... despite almost certainly being a mile ahead of those in the squad. Their loss was certainly our gain. Its so important that you have the right person in charge of the youth teams, because so many fall through the cracks because a manager has his favorite's, even at youth levels 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxxed 4,077 Posted 13 December 2020 Report Share Posted 13 December 2020 I only watched a bit of their last match but KDH looked fantastic—great movement, passing and energy. He looks to be at the same level Barnes reached at the Baggies albeit without the goals. He needs prem football. He’s the same age as Barnes but without top level experience. He looks an exciting player and hopefully the next first teamer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, with the latter point, hopefully next year we stand a reasonable chance of attaining some kind of European football as well as domestic cup competitions and Rodgers does like to rotate. Also, as unpalatable as it is, it's not beyond the realms that one of our more prized midfielders could be sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is truly mystifying is it took until he was 21 to get a loan move. He should have been out on loan before then, hopefully the club are starting to learn that. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but to be fair he didn’t look this good in the u23s and it seemed like he spent ages there. I didn’t think he warranted a loan. Many here didn’t notice him either. Whereas Barnes looked shit hot in the u23s from more or less day one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he did the half season before he went to Blackpool. I recall he was made captain then? He really seemed to rise to that challenge and became the one who was controlling games for us.

Devonfox1884 812 Posted 13 December 2020 Report Share Posted 13 December 2020 Could he replace Hamza in the squad next season? There were rumours last window that Hamza was potentially looking to move on to get more game time I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's not really a 'kid' though is he.. certainly not in footballing terms anyway! I think he's a certainty to replace Hamza in the senior squad next season... Hamza will be off to pastures new.

Maybe he just wasn't ready to go out when he was younger. @Ric Flair your a great poster but you see really negative about our academy, which is hard to understand when we have produced Barnes, Thomas, Chillwell, Schlupp, Choudhury, Moore, KDH to name a few in the last 6 or 7 years. Seems a reasonable rate of producing talent when you consider two of those have when full England caps. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
