I'd probably limit him to a 10 minute cameo, but if you think he's ready for an hour, who am I to argue?Bring him on against Palace when we are 5-0 up, just to troll Roy.

The Dinamo Zagreb team was even younger than ours……He's since scored a brace for the U21s v Liverpool and setup a goal versus Dinamo Zagreb. AND and he has Hinshelwood heritage, so it's almost guaranteed that he's fabulous.
Freddie Simmonds first came to my attention when he scored that towering header for England U17s, whilst playing up a year. He then made a really positive contrinution coming on as a sub v Lille, so it was good to see him playing in a full game versus DZ.He’s obviously doing well, but I think we need to maybe take some time to calm down. A lot of people’s first exposure to him was 1 kick in a papa johns trophy game. He’s a good prospect for sure but I don’t think we need to put too much pressure on the lad, and watch his development. I agree with @dazzer6666 though, I think Simmonds is the one to look out for, but IMO will take longer to make an impact because of his position.
Well said. ATM they are playing against kids who aren’t much older than they are. We need to give them time to develop before piling on the pressure. Players grow and develop at different rates. Let them make some mistakes before they are thrust into the limelight and think they have made it before they reach the age of 18.Freddie Simmonds first came to my attention when he scored that towering header for England U17s, whilst playing up a year.

Positionally he was sound and comfortable on the ball, but at 15 he still has some growing to do as phsically he is not yet an adult centre back. He does look a great prospect given time, as does Howell, but there are also a few other prospects who could really kick on from this group.
...but older than Harry!The Dinamo Zagreb team was even younger than ours……
Are you sure? I heard she described him as different gravy.I know someone who knows his dinner lady at his school and she says he’s shitehouse

aah nice.Comes from good stock.
It could be the dinner lady!I'm just glad no one has asked for photos of the WAG.
I really hope not on a number of levels.It could be the dinner lady!
Come on, sturdy Sandra loves whipping semolina, what is not to like?I really hope not on a number of levels.
Sturdy Sandra can perfect her whipping technique in prison - he's FIFTEEN.Come on, sturdy Sandra loves whipping semolina, what is not to like?

Maybe we should break the link between the dinner lady and the boy, yet still retain sturdy Sandra? So instead of asking for a child's WAG photo or even their mum/granny photo, we just ask for the dinner lady photo - no paedophilia implied?Sturdy Sandra can perfect her whipping technique in prison - he's FIFTEEN.
Sorry. I'm suffering a temporary sense of humour failure. My ability to not take things seriously is taking a fairly major hit.
Not helped every time the ABSOLUTE ARSEHOLE behind me on the train takes an UNBELIEVABLY LOUD bite out of what I assume to be an apple.

Inverse, or OBVERSE?Bite out of apple?
You were lucky.
The breath wafting out of the f***ing ruin of a human being sitting next to me on the train to London on Monday was to kill against (the inverse of to die for).
I said kill, though. I'm cruisin' for a cullin'Inverse, or OBVERSE?
No, I don't know the difference either.
I've always thought that people who think they'd rather die than be stuck with X are showing a lack of logical thinking.
Edit: having just checked, it's definitely not obverse
I like to imply things rather than come straight out with them though.I said kill, though. I'm cruisin' for a cullin'
