Hopefully he gets a run in midfield at some point.

"Not many like that" - Fleetwood Town manager Charlie Adam praises Irish U21s star









The former Liverpool midfielder has hailed his on-loan star Bosun Lawal following his arrival at the club.

The Fisherman have been battling to maintain their place in League One, but Lawal has been asserting himself as a leading light.

The versatile 20-year-old, who can play both in defence and midfield has featured in 25 of their 28 league games this season, with a single goal to his personal tally that came in their 2-1 victory against reading in October of last year.

St Kevin’s Boys graduate, Lawal spent time at Watford, winning their Academy Player of the Season, where Troy Deeney compared him to Abdoulaye Doucouré and added: “There are not many young players that catch your eye and you go ‘oh, he’s gonna have a career’ and he certainly does that.”












Adam spoke highly of the Dubliner saying: “Unfortunately, Bosun is not our player but while he is here, he is our player and what he has done since he has been here is give us a good base in terms of his size and physicality.

“How he dribbles with the ball, his touches and passes. There are not many midfielders like that in the Championship in England let alone League One. So, he has got a bright future. He is at a big football club in Celtic.

“We are lucky to have him here at Fleetwood and in the coming months to the end of the season we will send a better player back than when he came in here.”

Prior to his move to Fleetwood, Lawal signed a long-term contract to stay with Celtic until at least 2026.

Lawal joined Celtic in 2021 and made his first senior appearance off the bench during their 5-0 Scottish FA Cup win over Morton in January 2023

 

Get him recalled

 

Sounds very promising, hopefully when he’s back here in the summer we take a look at him in what seems to be his best position CM

 

Aye good to hear hes doing well

 

Get this big * back if he's so good - could do with someone in his position

 

Liam Scales' Law dictates we have to rejuvenate one Irish career every year. Lawal will be next year and MJ the year after

 

Seems strange he's thriving in midfield bcoz he could barely pass the ball to a team mate that game v huns last year.

I know that was his natural position before we signed him but he just didn't look like a footballer that nite

 

Was that not agbaire that game at the back? I remember there was a game when everyone was saying lawal looked proper terrible and he wasn’t even playing it was agbaire who looks very similar in fairness not sure if it was the huns game though

 

He's racking up mom awards since switching to centre midfield, might be a good option next season.

 

If he’s related to Peter Lawal he can * off.

 

Think we're fine on that one. Different spelling.

 

Not our old school, hoofball ex players who are now coaches thinking a big unit of a boy must be a centre half? Surely not?

 

Found his level,good luck to him.

 

Said ages ago why didn't we play him as a box to box midfielder after Deeney clearly stated that's where he won poty for Watford's academy and was likened to Doucoure..

Madness..

 

I don’t think getting MOTM for a team sitting 23rd in League One is anything to get excited about.

 

If he was that good for a team that is sitting dead bottom, I'd say it was more positive than negative.

 

You could argue it’s easier to stand out when you’re surrounded by poorer players. I haven’t seen him play for Fleetwood though so I don’t know how good he’s been. I just think it’s a bit of a stretch to think it’ll translate to getting in our squad.

 

Because our youth coaches are * rank, that's how!
