He’s never gonna be quick, but if he gets in top shape he could be like young Kane under Poch where he just shrugs off opposition players and runs strongly.

Not at the heart of it anymore.
De Zerbi will love him. Mikey would do the same job that Trossard and Lallana did for him at Brighton, he would just do it better.
That Rangers done then?
Well it's been fun while it lasted. Hope Hearts go on to win it.
Not mathematically, but yes. Out.
Should try and step up a level. If we're in the prem still I'd look to get him out to Germany
Sure he will, Odobert and Simons are out for most of next season. Plenty of minutes for him.
I'd rather he goes to the Champo than the Bundesliga, which has become a glorified Eredivisie. Even Ligue 1 is better these days.
Good place to develop technical players still imo
Like Gazza.
Yeah I said that!
Seriously though, Mickey's strength, balance and footwork makes up for any lack of bursting pace that he may lack.
Defenses are awful. You come to the PL where there's no space, no time, and it's uber physical...and you're lost. See Wirtz...incredible at Bayer, shite at Pool. Or closer to home...Xavi Simons.
Berbatov, de bruyne , kompany, haaland, Gundogan, sane, our own vdv. And of court our greatest legend sonny
There’s no league that really can prepare a player for the PL at the moment. You just have to have patience with players you know have quality as they adapt.
Complete reverse of first half. Mikey tried a bit too hard IMO, faded massively and showed the defensive side to his game needs a huge amount of work still.
He wasn’t bad, but just a bad day and fit for a match like this (they needed a speedster to break and run it up the park, and dart back into position), Mikey hasn’t got the running power consistently so was ineffective.
You're joking we could be playing 8 extra games?
I think the whole "level" thing is overrated for attacking players. More important for defenders.
Confidence is more important for attackers. Confidence to take risks, take chances, and expand one's repetoire. A fair amount of attacking is having the audacity to try, buttressed by the raw physical ability to pull it off.
Look at Dele when he came in - you think he scores *that goal* if he'd been farmed out to Gladbach first?
Another season in Scotland where he's comfortable and thriving will do him better than a potentially disruptive switch to a middling Bundesliga club that ends up playing on the back foot more than it attacks.
If we stay up we could be in a bit of a weird spot where we've got 3-4 first team forwards out with long term injury in Xavi, Odobert, Kulu and potentially Kudus. Maybe Kulu's career with us is done, but either way it's an awkward situation.
We're obviously gonna need to invest a fair bit in that area of the pitch, but we can't realistically replace all 4 of those with new players, so there could be a spot in the squad for Mikey until January at least.
Personally I think he could use another loan but if he has a good pre-season and RDZ likes him it's not unthinkable we keep him around as an understudy/rotation option for Maddison and a depth option off the left, then we could loan him in January if he's not getting enough minutes and other players are coming back.
(If we go down I think we almost certainly need to just keep him).
