Post by: Footy-Vill on March 01, 2025, 12:06:31 AM
Here's Jamal own thread
Came on as a sub vs Cardiff last night
Played a lovely ball through to Ramsey
Been on the bench for last few games

He came on as a sub vs Wycombe earlier this season when he was 17

18 years old now and a Midfielder by trade.

Well done to the nipper, he's been on the bench a lot so Unai clearly rates him. What's his actual position though?

From what I’ve seen of the younger teams, he plays in the kind of spaces that Havertz does, not quite a striker, a very advanced attacking midfielder.

I thought he did very well when he came on, good to see him getting a chance

Yep, I suspect he'll end up playing that sort of role if he makes it. Looks a very good prospect.

That's under the old USA laws. The new USA says I can keep shouting about Cotton Eyed Joe until I've successfully brainwashed you all into thinking not singing Cotton Eyed Joe is the reason you can't afford to buy eggs.

Scored last night though Woodward on comms trying to take away from him
FA Youth Cup semi finals v Man Utd here we go!

Did anyone attend the quarter final yesterday and have any scouting reports?

So I have seen there is a reserves and academy thread though I don’t I find it so clear to find because of title didn’t correlate to and will find some more info there on last night game!

Congrats to Jimoh! Scored a great pen in shoot out as the Youth team beat man utd on penalties to get to final of the Cup!

Congratulations to Jimoh - Aloba scoring the winning goal in the FA Youth Cup final

Considering less than a handful are going to make top level then Jamal is already making a name and would see him as someone who can forage a career.
Good luck to others of course but only one or two will make any signs of high level achievements at senior level and I think Jimoah is clearly an asset who stands out and rightly given chances in and around the first team squad.

Super ability and well done for the whole squad but especially Jimoah Aloba!

Well adding to the win being as the score was 3-1. Arguably Brannigan scored the "winning" goal as he put us ahead.

Yes, his career will mushroom from here

It’s not even arguable Som. Brannigan scored the winner, disregard F-V’s constant mindless drivel.

Hopefully he won't get injured, as that would sloe his progress.

I think he'll make a berry good addition to the first team.

This thread was bumped this morning, among many others, not because of anything significant to post about this young man but for the poster to draw attention to a thread he'd started. Any bullshit, tenuous link would suffice. It's the same with this supposed narrative of promoting discussion and debate. They're not interested in that, they're interested in highlighting their insight. Just an endless stream of point scoring.

He just scored the final goal in the most important game of his life so far. Seems "significant" enough to me.
Title: Re: Jamal Jimoh-Aloba
Post by: Tayls_7 on May 06, 2025, 02:19:51 PM
And what did he say?
Title: Re: Jamal Jimoh-Aloba
Post by: cdbearsfan on May 06, 2025, 02:22:00 PM
Who?
Title: Re: Jamal Jimoh-Aloba
Post by: Tayls_7 on May 06, 2025, 02:26:58 PM
FV. He started with scored the winning goal when clearly that was nonsense.

We all seem a bit divided on this and I respect your decision to stick up for him. My stance is that he's knowingly disruptive. For what purpose I'm not sure but I'm guessing validation and self-promotion. It's been pointed out to FV on multiple occasions how his style of interaction differs from other posters and why it causes annoyance. I know you might say he has absolutely no reason to adapt for others but I am of the opinion he enjoys the disruption.

Right. And what non-self-important point are you making about Jimoh-Aloba?

I'm not making any point about Jimoh-Aloba. I thought he was fantastic yesterday along with all the other lads.

Hadn't realised that he's from a farming background.
