[Albion] Toby Collyer - move to Manure

[GT49er]

The chances of him breaking through at either are very slim. Personally, I'd assume he's banking on being more likely to get chances because of his "former Man Utd" status than if he had "only" come through our academy. I think the perception around our academy has already changed and is now very strong, but I don't think there will ever come a time that players coming out of Man Utd won't be fashionable and won't be given more chances than most to succeed.

Yes, it might make it easier for him when he goes in loan, coming from a 'big club'. Rather like the contrast at Middlesbrough between the way the fans have partly taken to Balogun (a star prospect from the mighty Arsenal) whilst deciding that Connolly is the worst player ever to play for Mddlesbrough (yes, that view has been expressed on their website) even though he has contributed more to the team than Balogun (not that he's doing great by any means, but he's not been that bad either).

I hope he doesn’t regret it.

Nope.

I zoomed in and could not see a signature. There is still a chance that we could get him to change his mind!

Named on the bench for the first team for the first time today in their defeat at home to Fulham. (Tee hee!).

Fair play to him. Never gives it the billy big bollocks.

 

[albionalex]

On the bench tonight.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

On the bench tonight.

He must be rubbish, if he can’t get a start ahead of that shambles of a United team!

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Playing tonight in a friendly against Liverpool, he looks a decent player.

There was a piece in The Athletic recently about his progression at United

 

[METALMICKY]

Yes - one of the biggest sports brands in the world wanted to sign him and offered more money than us

Still amazing how so many fans can't work that out

 

[GT49er]

Similar case as Shim Mheuka - joined Brighton at 9, played for the U18s at 14, then moved to Chelsea.

Can't win 'em all - just as long as it doesn't happen often, I suppose.

On Vs Liverpool

 

[London Irish]

Anyone care to have a ballpark guess what money we would have got?

Calling @AZ Gull Tribunal payment?

Toby Collyers wiki profile makes me lol at this specific second in time (this prob happens a lot during footy games but..)

"came on against Liverpool to replace Casimero who never played for United again" sake

 

[El Turi]

He was pretty shit but still better than Casemiro.

 

[Han Solo]

Some fine touches and moves, bit shy but you could see the potential.

I work with Toby's dad, who will be a very proud father this evening. Toby would have made his Man United debut some time ago, but he had a serious injury last season which ruled him out for months.
