To be fair to Maher he is not in my opinion a LWB so it is perhaps unfair to judge him too harshly on tonight’s performance however I do agree that he needs a quality loan spell at the level below to boost his confidence and performance. I cannot see him playing in our midfield unless we get a good number of injuries.
That is true to be fair, but i also dont see how he fits in this side as we dont really play with a ten or wingers. He has bulked himself up granted but he is not getting in the centre of the pitch these days.
Good luck to him, and id love to see him come through our ranks more but i think his time is limited.
How come Lowe isn’t in the England elite squad alongside Simkin? I know he played for the U19’s but he has grown beyond recognition over the past four months.
I would also be amazed if he isn’t on the radar of some of the cuter recruiting Premier league clubs, likes of Brighton/Brentford/Bournemouth etc. Given his age, temperament and what he’s shown on the pitch if I was one of them I’d be taking a punt at whatever Stoke couldn’t afford to turn down, which would likely be chicken feed in their terms. He’s only 19 just turned. Fabulous player, other than just further working on his finishing I can’t see what he hasn’t got already.
Does that mean that as a product of the Stoke youth setup any premier league side could offer some derisory compensation and give the player a lucrative offer he can’t refuse?
