He did ok as soon as we sold him ...
….ffs, what nonsense. Armstrong, Branthwaite, Iroegbunam, Garner, O’Brien and that’s just the current team
He didnt mate.
Still a youngster though ....
But it didnt matter if he was or wasn't a youngster, he wasn't contributing to anything so we couldn't just sit there for 4 seasons hoping he came good.
He left, took him a few clubs to settle and maybe he found a home or the penny dropped with him and he got his head down and then the ability shone through.
That is where we miss the old reserve side set up, we had many late developers back then who came good - The Catt believed in youth .....
Footballers these days aren’t going to sit in the reserves for 5 years waiting until they’re ready. Nor should they.
Big Joe did ....

Maybe if he is not ready , but why splash so much on him in the first place ????
Good for him.
If he was around in 2026 I can guarantee you he wouldn’t.
His team/agents would make sure of it.

Remember when Rooney left us, won trophy after trophy at United, and became the greatest English player of his generation? Do you remember the sting of regret and frustration you felt that he wasn't doing that in a blue shirt? No, I've never looked at Ademola Lookman and felt that burn, I have to say.
