Agree, I don't like 'rookie'.I will never use the term "rookie" in relation to football.
And, quite frankly, it should be banned.
So should 'soccer'.
There's no such thing.
T’was a joke. Or Jab at BC and a few who seemed dismissive (or tepid) of him due to a weaker facet (Vuskovic acknowledged himself also last season).Really? Do you watch his games? He’s not slow at all by my eyes, at least not by CB standards. Strange how some off the cuff comments made last season seem to be sticking with him.
Look Kanes numbers.... how did we win nothing.

Luka's return next season likely to spell the end for Radu?
Really exciting to see the likes of Luka, Lucas, Archie, as well as Mickey, young talented players with massive potential coming through for 26/27 and beyond.
Would love to see Gray given more minutes in a midfield 3 with Bergvall, and Pally, with both Gray and Bergvall alternating as ball carriers for Xavi in the 10 role.

Fair point, but my thinking is if the boy is as good as is being reported would Frank not keep him at The Lane after his initial loan spell and guarantee him 25 league and cup games in a potential 60 game season?I'd be tempted to find him a Prem loan next season - one of the promoted teams would likely play him week in week out and that'd help him adjust to the Prem.
What.Id say about this comment is its in keeping with they way he spoke about himself Verses Mikey and Cutie. IE he showed a level of self awareness beyond Ange and many others He basically said im not quickest and need to improve to be EPL ready. Its incredibly mature. It makes think he will make it because if he learns to read the game being moderate pace will be enough.

Its Bundesliga, even Werner was a star there.
On the bench. Czechia away tonight
