Louie Barry (on loan to Sheffield United)

[Mister E]

Ramsey must be in with a chance, along with Vassilev. Not sure about Barry ... does he take penalties?

[Randy Gurner]

In such dire circumstances my vote is for young Louie to be given a run out. What have we got to lose?

He is 17. Don’t get him involved in this shit storm. Next Season maybe

Fair enough. I'm half cut, clutching at straws here. On a more serious note, I've heard great things about him and I hope he's involved in the near future.

Rooney was 16 when he made his first team debut, and he hadn't been signed by 2 European giants by that age.....

Just bumping this old thread. He was obviously highly rated when we signed him, does anyone know how he's progressing?

Very well by what I can gather on Twitter following their games.
His form for the U’23’s iceberg good.

[manic-road]

Scored another couple in his last game.

Interested to see if Conor goes into the team, and Barry goes up to the bench with Barkley out.

Iceberg? More cool as a cucumber than a soggy, limp lettuce I hope.

Ramsey has been the 19th man for a few games so presumably he will be on the bench.

I would hope we never hold any of our players back due to age. Dortmund have shown you can play talented kids at the highest level. I love what they have done in terms of player development and recruitment. If they are good enough, play them.

Iceberg? No idea what I was typing for predictive to put that in!

You meant to say his recent form's been titanic?

5 goals in his last 6 games for the U23s so looks like he's fully settled in now. As I said on the Archer thread my aim with him now would be to get him around the first tema squad a few times this month then get him out on loan to the highest level we can in January and give him half a season of adult football. If he carries on as he has I suspect he'll be pushing for the first team before the end of next season.

On a side note I wish they'd got the TV gantry in place at BMH before the season started, I'd love to be able to watch how some of them are developing and right now you only get chance to catch the odd away game.
