Was he bollocks. He was eased back in from the bench for his first couple of games back, playing 45 and 35 minutes off the bench. Spent the next couple of games starting doing fuck all for 90 minutes.

Yamal looks his age. Doesn't mean everyone should be at his level but he's no freak physically
Nobody should be compared to Yamal
His strength and pace is way more than that of a normal 17 year old. I remember seeing Messi I think was 17/18 and he didn’t look that strong or quick, gets to 19 and he has a dramatic increase in power and pace. Young players reach physical maturity at different rates, Moore still looks in contact and explosiveness like a teenage not someone who is fully developed and that’s fine, we shouldnt pin our hopes on a 17 year old being ready, he will get there in the coming years.
Johnson and Son….aargh…Our only hope is the fact that Man Utd are rubbish and their strikers are pretty poor.
...or Lewis Hamilton.
Not to mention that Yamal came up through La Masia whilst Moore came up at Hotspur Way. Not to sound like I am dunking on our own academy, but La Masia is a completely different animal. The training at La Masia is focused on the cerebral aspects of football. Their players know how to read the game so quickly that it feels like playing in slow motion.
The English system instead puts more focus on the physical aspects.
Just watching Donley play for Orient, he is basically Kulusevski, just without the annoying social media monologues and twatty fanboys.
Not sure I really see that comparison, Donley's passing and vision is on another level
I don’t know why we don’t send young players there. Or parents don’t send their kids there. I would if my kid was a talented footballer, it’s pretty much the best learning place he could have. Worst case he doesn’t make it, the experience and learning will be a huge benefit.
Drum roll
Lo and behold surgery is actually required.
This fucking manager I swear....
Yeah can’t say I’m surprised.
What he says means nothing. He doesn’t have a clue at all, he’s just waffling. Most managers have the sense to wait a bit and say we don’t know at this stage.
"Yeah mate, listen mate, I'm a man of my word mate, and I'm Greek mate. I fucking hate that Segi meerkat, got me the fucking sack mate, and that Moose bastard got the Clears core ad mate. Fucking injuries"
We should have loaned Kulusevski to Leyton Orient and kept Donley.
Thanks for the info
IMO Spain produces the best creative midfielders in the game. I've wondered often why we haven't had more Spanish players in the squad?
Because we prioritise physicality over pure footballing talent. Spanish players usually play best with Spanish or Latin coaches which we also don’t have. When we did have them, they still struggled with the physicality required in the PL.
I forgot who it was that said the English midfielders regard tackling as a key skill. In Spain it’s a last resort.
On some level I assume that there's a similar reason for why we until recently haven't had a lot of Italians. They have a big enough domestic league that they take pride in. And even if the PL pays more you can still make a good living playing back home so no need to move abroad.
