Key question: how will Jack help Louie to develop the thighs and calfs required to withstand the victimisation he'll get from less talented opponents?!
I'd rather ease the lad in slowly myself. We're not in any urgent need of him in the first team, and he's still young & developing physically. As I see it, Ollie's 25 now so in 3-4 seasons' time he'll be 28/29 and Louie will 20/21 so at a perfect age to start making an impact in our first team (having hopefully got a season or two on loan under his belt). No pressure (Ollie still at his peak), but with enough experience under his belt that he can have a realistic chance at making the no.9 shirt his own.
Louie looks more like a number 10 to me than a number 9. He could be an understudy to Barkley very quickly imo, even this season if needed.
Vote on the BBC football website for goal of the 3rd round. Currently 2nd place on 16%.
Done. He’s still a little way behind the Crawley player in 1st.
Voted lets get him in first 1st.
Just voted.
Now in 1st place.
Voted for barry and even ignoring the tribal factor I'd go for him or Justin, a lot of the others are pretty ropey keeping, particularly the crawley goal.
Voting now closed , Louie wins with 31% to nearest 25%.
The first of many awards for Louie Louie oooah wooah!

When I saw it on Friday I said goal of the 3rd round straight away. I am a bit biased though. For me it was the sheer joy of the moment for him.
thanks no doubt to our wonderful fan base
