Yeah I don’t disagree. 18 still, can go either way his career. I guess I just mean for an 18 year old to have featured for Liverpool at the level they are he must have promise.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 11:16 amWell, you guys crack on with those assumptions all you like.

Well, he's young, he's a right-back, and he made his debut for Liverpool as a teenager.
Let's hope he's more Trent Alexander-Arnold than he is Jon Otsemobor.

Has this lad been shot in the arse, do we know? That could give an indication which way he's more likely to go.

It's a League One reserve team. If we were to get one player capable of stepping into the first team from each intake then it'll be worth it.

Jon Otsemobor would start for most League One sides. He was useless because we needed a Premier League player.
It's worth remembering where we are.

Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!
Liverpool look to be signing that young right back from Aberdeen, so loaning out this lad Bradley would seem to be logical.
Personally never heard of him, but having six full caps (even for NI) at the age of 18 is quite a good sign. I’m sure we’ve asked Dion what he reckons.

The trouble for anyone coming in at RWB (and it does now look like Bradley is the guy) is they have to live up to the myth of Fossey. If Bradley gets an assist in a game then Marlon would have got 3. Any time he fails to get a decent cross in it would have been a goal if Fossey had put the ball in.
This lad is very, very young. Marlon, Morley, Dapo, Johnston etc came in as "youngsters" in their 20s - 3 of the 4 were 5 years older than Bradley. Hopefully people have a bit of patience.

Two new recruits in for the B team. Nelson Khumbeni and Lynford Sackey. A DM recently released by Norwich and a ex-Royal who plays all along the right side, respectively.

Has Sackey actually left Reading permanently, then? It's a little unclear.
Ahh: He will join Bolton Wanderers at the expiration of his contract on 30 June 2022

The aim is promotion. We aren’t trying to develop other clubs players. We will sign players Evatt thinks can lead us to promotion. And any player is judged on that. And rightly so. If he isn’t the player to do that then it’s down to the judgement call.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 12:59 pmThe trouble for anyone coming in at RWB (and it does now look like Bradley is the guy) is they have to live up to the myth of Fossey.
