    Reminds me of mcgeady...in that other teams need to put 2 or 3 players on him to stop him.

    That right there first half is exactly why he can't always do it alone..

    Just shows you how much team's actually fear him already....even on the European stage..

    That picture is a coach who has earmarked him as a main man..

    The amount of players he pulls to him we have to start taking advantage of that extra space elsewhere.

    Bolingoli especially.

    He’s really not, this is just a thing people say. Look at Neymar, skinny as * but agile. He could add a bit of muscle but wouldn’t say he’s far too lightweight.

    He has the ability but more importantly he has the attitude.

    This does seem to be something positive about our Development, all our first team players who we've had a big part influencing appear to have it.

    That’s a very good point, our youngsters have effort and self belief, even when you look at the likes of Ralston who isn’t going to make it, it’s there.

    Then you look at the players that have oodles (aye a said oodles) of ability, they have that same attitude. Tierney had it, Liam Henderson had it, Ewan Henderson has it and look at Mikey tonight, he * has it. Talent and ability isn’t enough, it very rarely is, having our young players realise that is a big plus for us.

    Probably the biggest positive of us (and by extension our youth players) knowing they won’t play 3/4 games for us and get a £80k a week contract.

    I read this earlier on today and it suns up the attitude and mentality point very well. And they’re talking about one of the best players in the world just now there, it’s the same thought process.

    He excites me more than what Forrest did at the same age. He's going to be unreal.

    He excites me like McGeady does when he came through, except he looks a better goalscorer, albeit McGeady was doing it against AC Milan when he came through.

    His dribbling ability and speed is terrifying, defenders must absolutely * themselves, first choice left winger by some distance. If he adds more goals to his game he’ll be heading to the top.

    We need to manage him very carefully. He likely won’t be able to player 40 odd games this season with burning himself out. He will also be targeted by the hammer throwers in our league.

    Mixing it up between him and Sinclair would be perfect this season, not least because Sinclair has the experience he could teach to Johnston. Gutted with how we are handling Sinclair.

    He's suffering from what Eddy had last season, not having a proper back-up. This isn't a slight on him in anyway, but he needs somebody to properly challenge him for the role, Morgan isn't that person.
