Hackney

Playing well and improving each game , we are lucky to have him , and he is lucky to have us . The future is bright if he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't change .
Connor Malley played along side him not long ago , fine margins .
If he stays grounded he will go to the top , hopefully with us.
 
Incredible young player in the middle of the park. His playing style reminds me of the likes of Thiago and Luka Modric. Can see him playing regularly in the premier league soon, hopefully with us! UTB
 
Another cracking game from the lad, apart from one cross field pass that made me a bit twitchy.....

If we manage to beat the odds and get that young Swiss lad in, we could have the centre of midfield sorted for about 8 years if we can hang on to them bot.

As we push for the champions league places :cool:
 
Hope he is called up for Scotland.

I'm not sure he'll get to the standard to play for England and it's still his Mother's country.

Be a proud moment for her and him, I'm sure.

He's turned out to be an absolute gem for us, saved us millions and largely playing well consistently.

Hopefully he keeps it up.
 
I didn't think he had his best game yesterday, but that's against a high standard he's set.

He's been a revalation this season though.

I’d be delighted to see him represent Scotland as a full international. He should get in the squad, no reason why not.
 
I thought he had a quieter game yesterday. I’m always wanting him to get the ball because he looks forward every single time, can see the simple pass that previously has eluded our midfield and just has so much quality.

Genuinely you wonder where he would be if Wilder was still here. Out on loan or sold to a L2 club no doubt. He’s an absolute revelation.
 
Not sure of the rules with international football these days, but I think his Scotland appearance was a friendly in the U21s. I think he could still be eligible for England.

He’d be gone there’s no doubt about that be it on loan then let go or prob sold to as Hartlepool Carlisle style side for buttons.

Wilder seemed to make sure things like this happened to validate his opinion. Look at Chuba not being allowed on the pre season trip.

Constantly playing Connolly etc

He will be, I just don't think there's much chance of him playing for England.

You'd expect the likes of Bellingham, Rice and Mount to be playing for years to come.

We'd also need to get promoted or sell him to a Premier League team for him to ever even be in the conversation.

Whilst, with no disrespect intended, he could probably play in League One and still get a call up for Scotland if he's playing well enough.
 
Philips went from the Championship to England squad the same year. I'm sure they're looking at him, especially under Carrick's tutelage. The way he has stepped up at 20 makes me think he wouldn't struggle in the prem and could be top class at 24/25.

If I were him I'd leave it a bit longer before piling in with Scotland and condemning yourself to an international career of group stage exits at best.
 
As good as some of ya think he is, he’s never getting in the England team, behave!!
