    Strange. He's the most exciting young player we've produced in years.

    Can become a really good player for us, needs a bit more muscle and he has to learn to lift his head to spot who's around him. He's totally focused on getting to goal on his own, it's a team game.

    Don't get the negativity about him. Could turn into a wonderful player for us. Was poorly managed by rodgers, I hope he starts getting serious game time

    I can see where folk are coming from when they say they don’t rate him. I’m not in that camp because he has clear huge potential but he is nowhere near the finished article at this point.

    Put it this way, I’d be extremely nervous going into the rest of the season with him as first choice left winger. As back up to Moi though and dipped in and out as he improves, definitely.

    Guy has huge potential and I have high hopes that he will totally rip it up here and become a ledged. He has the lots of attributes.
    He still has some flaws but these can be sorted with the proper coaching. His final ball will defiantly improve.
    Physically, he will need to improve, bulk up a tad and that will also help him stay injury free hopefully.
    Right now, I am comfortable to have him as impact player behind Ely.
    Unfortunately, some things are out with our control, he will get targeted by hatchet men for sure, who have the green light from Refs.

    Think he’ll end up being chased by some big clubs in a few years, in the £20m+ bid range. No-where near that yet, as bas been stated, but he’s only going to improve with experience.

    Like him but he definitely needs to bulk up a bit.

    Would like to see him go out on loan while we bring in better! Front 3 should be Edward, Griffiths and Forrest anyway.

    He has the one thing that at times our team sadly lacks. He is direct to the point where defenders are * scared of him. Did Lennon not refer to Boerrigter as an eliminator? That's what MJ is for me. Goes by people for fun. His strength will come in time,and even if it doesn't it isn't going to stop him having a potentially great career. Plenty of slightly built world class players out there. His awareness will improve with more game time and training and playing with good players. Honestly feel some people would be happier if we sold him only to see him rip it up somewhere else and then we could have a moan about letting our academy players go too early.

    Anyone who doesn’t rate him is an idiot and doesn’t have a clue about football.

    I don’t think he is.

    he is too lightweight. If we go into the 2nd half season with just him and elyounoussi I am concerned.

    100% , its just like the newer version of a young forrest , decision making and game knowledge will always get better as he gets older , the talent is 100% there and he will only get better as he goes on and hopefully that with us

    Hopefully the end product will come, but he's already a more exciting dribbler than Forrest has ever been.

    I would agree with that. He is not ready to be our everyday starter yet but he certainly is ready to come off the bench and get some starts.

    If he can build up his strength and improve his shooting and directness he has the potential to be our most expensive youth academy product. He has massive massive potential. Reminds me of Ronaldo when he arrived at United and he didn't turn out too bad

    The lad has talent,didnt really get excited about him until early this season.Then he picked up another injury....back fit and played well at Ibrokes,,out injured again,then came back in for the huns game in Dec.He didn't play well against the huns and the occasion imo seemed too much for him(wasnt the only one)
    Hopefully he gets a run of games and stays injury free,as i feel he could be a special player that coukd turn a game for us with a skillful dribble or pass.
