cool I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this but I'll play along.
At 19 or whatever age he is , he was at the time scoring and assisting pretty regularly in the Premier League last season. This season he's apparently not been as good but his overall goal return Is still pretty impressive for someone his age.
Think he will turn out to be a very good premier league player.
You would sack Ange now and bring in who mid season?No amount of reading is going to change the fact we are not winning any cups in this state.

fuck me
who cares. You can have the job if you want. Why do you people always think the fans need the answers and not the highly paid cunts in the boardroom whos sole job is to figure this shit out?
What about this car crash is worth perservering with?
You're so sexy when you're stubborn x
Yes but they have to contend with reality, not just their emotions.
This situation is terrible but you only sack the manager if you can bring in someone better. Otherwise you have sacked him just to prove a point or be petulant.
If there’s no better option then you don’t sack him to get a worse outcome.
What is worth preserving? Results in the cups have been excellent and we’ve beaten some big teams (particularly in the carabao where we’ve beaten both Manchester clubs and Liverpool). but also in the EL where we’re on course for a top 8 finish.
We don’t have much chance of winning a cup this season but sticking with Ange is our best chance. I’m still clinging to the small hope he could do a Juande Ramos.
Fucking mental people think we're on for a cup.
And even if we do that will just get this chancer even more time to get us relegated.
What are they thinking up in the ivory towers? A devil's advocate view...
GK we have 5 players for 1 position in Whiteman, Austin, Kinsky, Forster and Vicario. No point in signing someone in this window
CB? We have a CB joining us this summer with rave reviews, along with Dragusin, Davies, van de Ven and Romero. No point in someone in this window
FB we have 4 players for 2 positions in Gray, Spence, Udogie and Porro. No point is signing someone in this window
CM we have 4 players for 2 positions in Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr and Bergvall. No point in signing someone in this window
AM we have 2 players in Maddison and Kulusevski. No point in signing someone in this window
WF we have 6 players for 2 positions in Yang, Moore, Johnson, Odobert, Son and Werner. No point in signing someone in this window
CF we have 3 players for 1 position in Lankshear, Solanke and Richarlison. No point in signing someone in this window
I wonder whether this is how our board views the squad? It certainly looks that way., doesn't it?
Our injury run started in November, with predicated returns on every player I would have thought. That gave them plenty of time to react to the current situation surely, meaning they probably aren't going to react and by default, are using the above data to navigate the current transfer window
FFS!

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both interested in signing young non-league defender Jack Taylor, TBR Football exclusively understands.
Ange Postecoglou is enduring several issues with his Tottenham defence right now and Graham Potter is yet to settle on a firm back four at West Ham – with Taylor now emerging as a surprise option for both clubs.
19-year-old central defender Taylor has come through Sutton United’s academy and began this season on loan at Hampton & Richmond Borough, where he shone in 23 appearances.
Sutton decided to recall Taylor in January given how much he was impressing in the National League South, and the defender is now a regular starter for manager Steve Morison.
Tottenham and West Ham interested in young English centre-back Jack Taylor
TBR football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Tottenham and West Ham have both been watching Taylor in the last few weeks, such has been his progress.
Both London clubs had scouts in place to see the young defender earn a Player of the Match display as Sutton caused a big upset against high-flying York City recently.
Taylor made two appearances for Sutton in League Two last season, but his stock has now risen immensely following his development this term.
In addition to Spurs and West Ham, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Peterborough United have all been checking on the defender since before Christmas.
Swapping non-league football for any of the clubs mentioned would obviously be a huge step up for Taylor, but his progress is attracting a lot of interest.
Taylor was recently described as a ‘brilliant’ defender by Sutton Academy manager Jimmy Dack, who has helped mastermind all of his recent success.
I just knew you didn't really care the response which your response now proves.
Yeah, if he doesn't get his regular Weekend at Bernies outing the rigor mortis might set in...
Correct. We ain't winning sh!t.
100% mate.
Fcukwits in town. No doubt about that.
Screw the cups for 12 - 15 pounts in the PL all day long.
If we continue this form with players coming back from injury then we have to sack him. Completely.
There have been people who have loudly said they want us relegated because then ENIC will leave, or that they’d sacrifice league position for a cup. They seem to be pretty quiet now. Not that great is it?
I'm reading this as we have a better chance in the cups with no Manager, and you know what, I think I agree...
This is the only thread I care about until Sunday.
Everything else, including whether that bloke stays is largely irrelevant.
Some good news on the invalid front would also be welcome. Weakest set of players we have ever had.
