Young players worth looking at

Post by jdrobbo » Thu Jan 26, 2017 10:51 pm

To deviate slightly from the main transfer window dealings, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into young players who might be able to make the step up.

My suggestion would be Omar Bogle at Grimsby. He's only 23 years old but he appears to be a player on the rise from the lower leagues. Like with Andre Gray and Charlie Austin, his goal scoring record speaks for itself: one goal almost every two games! I know he has been watched by Reading.

Who would you suggest?

Id take a look at Jack Taylor from Barnet. Just broken into the team as an 18 year old and getting excellent reviews.

Ashley Young. Not wanted at United. Worth a loan bid. Around 300 games in the prem and 7 goals in 30 for England.

While I agree that long term this has always been Burnley's way and should remain so, I think at the moment we need to be looking no longer than the present to near future to give us the leeway to promote from within in a position of strength.

Scunthorpe always worth a look when it comes to strikers.

Bit late now but Ben Marshall from Blackburn would be a useful acquisition. Can play midfield and full back.

Charlie Taylor if Leeds don't win promotion
Test the water with Moussa Dembele of Celtic

Both providing we are still a Prem club in the summer

Going off the thread title I would add Laisa Andrioli and Milene Domingues. The latter holds the keepy-uppy record of some 55,000 in nine hours too

There was a player for WBA in the 1960's some older posters might recall called David Burnside. He was very talented at ' keepy-uppies' too but an average player in an average team. Didn't get much time for ball- juggling during a game with the likes of Eddie Clamp nearby really.

Helder Costa currently on loan at Wolves from Benfica and they reckon £1.3 million will get him.

I think you might have the decimal point in the wrong place!

If Eddie Clamp was nearby, the only concern would be whether your leg was still attached to the rest of you!

Your Right, read that wrong thought he was good value at that, £13 million would have a go at that, excellent winger/forward and young future value?

I've mentioned him before but I would love to see us sign Marcus Coco from EU Guingamp. Only 20 years old but has become an integral part of their first team this season.

He's a fast, strong and skillful winger - definitely no clown...

I seem to recall Nathan Peel doing similar for us.

Bogle may turn out to be a star, I've never seen him play but his first game needs to be followed up by many more similar games.
