James Bree (Signed for Luton Town)

[KRS]

Other than just the one, there's not much evidence that he can cross a ball to a team mate on that video.

[Nastylee]

Just seen a stats comparison with Hutton and there's nothing to separate them. It looks like a buy for potential rather than an immediate superstar.

[cdbearsfan]

I hope we don't burden him with too much expectation early on. He's clearly being brought in with one eye on the future.

If he is able to play regularly for us this season, he'll have done well.

[olaftab]

Whilst pleased it's disappointing that our academy isn't turning up similar talent from all that investment.

[PeterWithesShin]

I doubt he's been brought in to start straight away. He's only just turned 19 and has 40 career league starts, I think at best he'll be a sub to begin with.

[kippaxvilla2]

According to reports he's turned down PL offers in favour of us to get more game time.

[tomd2103]

I doubt he's been brought in to start straight away. He's only just turned 19 and has 40 career league starts, I think at best he'll a sub to begin with.

I would agree with that, particularly as De Laet will be back next season as well.

[PeterWithesShin]

I just don't think we should expect a 19 year old to fix our RB issues immediately.

On the flip side iirc, although he was a few years older Delaney had a similar amount of pro starts and he turned out alright.

[Toronto Villa]

He controlled the ball better in that few minute montage than Hutton has done in the past 5 years. And nobody ended up in row Z with the ball gone 10 minutes earlier. He's got a lot of potential and hopefully before long he's replacing Scottish Crappu

Depending on how well he goes, De Laet probably becomes a utility defender, covering both RB and CB.

I whooped 40 seconds in when the cross didn't hit the first defender and instead arched perfectly onto the centre forward's head.

That's a perfect demarcation from the present incumbant.

[lovejoy]

I demand a photo of him stretching the shirt.

[footyskillz]

Holgate and Stones are products of Barnsley young boys academy and shown how they are able in top league.  I think bree wants to continue development and be best placed to play . We Re a premier league size club, higher end championship team it's right all round.  Isn't Hutton out of contract in summer? 

[jwarry]

Tenacious little bugger.

You can see why he is injury prone!

[brian green]

My Leicester friends say that DeLaet is predominantly an attacking player who is not very good defensively.  Don't know how true it is or what effects if any his injury will have on him.
