I think having Grealish and Gil around him will be of great benefit. He has amazing skills and speed, but does too much on occasions. That play where Jack and Carles worked the ball up between them creating a shot on goal was sublime and Adama will hopefully learn to add that to his game - he has plenty of time to develop.

Yeah, the interplay between the two looked great; let's hope they can reproduce that sort of football for the first team.
Traore's challenge will be decision-making; learning from the likes of Sherwood and Wilkins (not to forget Sid as well) could well make him very, very good.

Jack walks by defends with grace, this kid just blasts by them. Gives defends little to no chance of keeping up, and that ball control.. sheesh!

We're lucky to have him.

I can see this guy being on that 'Tekkers' section (or whatever it's called) on Soccer AM quite a bit.

I expect a full article from the Birmingham Mail explaining how well would fit in at Liverpool.

I'm expecting an article along the lines of he's all show and no substance, digging up some Spanish article that's critical of him, suggesting he won't be ready for a relegation dog fight and then mentioning through gritted teeth that even if he does Ok Barcelona have a buy back for a pittance anyway.

Tim doesn't think he's fit yet so I don't expect he'll feature in the next few weeks. I'd love to know what his definition of fit is.

He's probably going by what the doctor/physio/sports scientist are telling him at BH.

It's like the opposition are on a boss level and haven't acquired the correct weapons to fight him!

He's seriously OP at this level

(My desperate attempt to appear relevant to the youth market)

what does any of that actually mean to someone older than 12, which I think I am?
