Suso [Sold to AC Milan]

[Mostar]

That should be your sig for a while.

I like my current one just fine mate

Now if he turns to be like Messi one day I may consider it

In other words, don't do a Duncan !

How old is he now 18/19? I think this year could be key for his development -same too for a number of the other youngsters who have been around for a while. We need to either start giving them first team experience (Carling Cup, Europa League, Time from the bench) or we need to send them out on loan for a while. Playing reserve team football again won't help.

The NextGen competition will continue to give the young players fantastic experience. It will also make them realise the level they need to aspire to in order to make the step up. Putting them into the first team when they're not ready is risky and like someone pointed out earlier in this thread we're never in a situation where we're convincingly ahead in a game which would allow an inexperienced player some game time.

I do think that there is an unrealistic expectation that a few of this current crop of youngsters will force their way into the first team over the next season or two. From what I've seen it's very unlikely.

Well its kind of already happened (Sterling, Flanagan, Robinson). Sterling showed in tiny glimpses that he can be a threat. He would be a useful addition on the bench. Robinson looked calm and composed every time we saw him. Flanagan has had a few mares but he has had some good games too. I don't get this idea that the youngsters aren't good enough yet. Whenever they have been put in they have rarely let us down. In fact, Spearing has let us down the most out of all of them and he is the oldest.

[Neil Young]

He has also played the most.

So that makes me wonder (a) why has he played the most if he is the worst and (b) would the others have "let us down" more if they had played more.

Suso vs Estonia Compilation

[RedReet]

Did he play well? Won't be able to watch it until I get back from work.

Are the Championship's on any UK channel?

Cheers for the vid though Mostar.

[Lee]

Excellent, cheers Mostar.

I know it's difficult to judge on these two YouTube compilations (especially when focusing on one player ), but it seems to me as though everything goes through him and that he keeps the team ticking over.

[BigChief]

Watched a cut down version (hour long) of the whole game on Eurosport. He seemed a bit anonymous against Estonia compared to his own high standards of dominance. Maybe taking it easy for the final.

Cheers lads

He played well but not like against Portugal and/or Greece.

Primary reason coz Estonia wasn't even close. Would love to know stats from that match but to me it looked like Spain has 90% of possession or more.

He was subbed after 70 minutes as he was spared for the semis.

Some shocking music choices on these compilations, but it's about the only thing i can complain about
