I often see updates on various social media sites giving updates on Wanderers players out on loan. Basically snapshots, so player x came on as sub after 66 mins in a 1-1 draw at y.

 

I can give a FREE appraisal to DF and his staff on young Eaves as I've seen nigh on every game he's played for Shrewsbury since joining in November (two goals in that time). It's an honest appraisal for which a scout could potentially earn a coupe of hundred quid for their time. Oh yes, time. I left Greenhous Meadow yesterday at 2.30 in the afternoon and returned from Colchester (we lost 1-0) exactly 12 hours later. It was a relegation 6 pointer and Eaves missed a chance on 7 mins that my dead granny would have nutted in from her coffin. After that you could sense the belief had disappeared with the team basically thinking: 'here we go again, cow's arse/banjo.'

 

If Tom Eaves is a Championship footballer, then that Boeing 777 will be back doing charter flights along the Fylde coast by the end of today. He runs like a flid, has no comprehension of the offside laws whatsoever, is scared of the ball messing up his girly fringe, and goals to chances conversion ration is running out about 1:10 I'd say. Frustration ain't the word and I would gleefully put him in my motor and run him up to BL6 in the next half hr.

 

Doogie: do yourself a favour son and get him off the wage bill. He's stealing a wage at our place.

 

To sum up: NOWHERE NEAR GOOD ENOUGH.

 

Do not pin any hopes you have on him fellow Whites. He's dogspunk. 

Nonsense.

 

Everyone knows our young players are all world beaters.

The fact we keep turfing him out on loan led me to believe he probably isn't that good. I expect he'll be released at the end of the season

He signed a new three year deal until 2016 last January

 

Salop Wanderer, didn't you rate him when he was on loan there last year? Guessing he hasn't made much progress since.

Whats about Chris though?

Did he not score a hat full on his first stint there?

It's difficult playing one up front in a poor side.

 

Saw him play up front for Bristol Rovers and he looked the part on the ball over the top.

 

But he is not a hold the ball back to the opponent's goal player.

My neighbour is a scout for Sheff Utd and he was told to have a look at him at the biginning of last season with a view to them taking him on loan and his assessment was to his boss "stay well clear"

i didn't think much of him when he played back end of last season but he's only a kid

 

i'd think hes a young lad who will probably have a career in 3 and 4 and is currently  'lacking confidence'

Last season to this is like comparing the latest Bentley to the entry model of the Dascia range. I was given Tom's Salop shirt when he left (I called him Tom then, as opposed to useless fucktard now) and I was proud of it. Now it lines the contents of my cat's litter tray. Last year I said he wasn't Championship material but there was raw talent that could be worked on. He did well for us 1st time around. 6 goals he got - 5 were worldies, mind. This season he's looked the palest imitation. I mean Sophie Ellis Bextor pale. He's a lower league striker at the very best. A contract extension suggests to me we have staff at the Reebok who couldn't spot a pair of tits if Kelly Brook whipped her bra off. I do accept he's in a struggling team but we are making chances for him. It's just that more often than not - make that a lot more often - you know the outcome before he sticks out a prosthetic limb or nods that beanbag of a head of his. He's shit. End of.

 . He's shit. End of.

 

Stop sitting on the fence and say what you mean.

Sorry Malc. He's a WIP. ITK. YHIHF. FACT. IIRC. YOOF. GTI....

He's now 22 so I think time is running out for him. By 24 most players should really have made the grade and okay he may be having a bad season, but if he ain't developing then judgments have to be made. Maybe he might be better getting back into the development squad to get some confidence back. Surprised Oldham haven't put a bid in for him on loan. They know him best - particularly Philliskirk

Perhaps they've had him watched and think he's not worth having

another coyle classic

you know my thoughts on him, but 300k for him was a better bet than 10x as much for sordell

22 is old. 18 - 20 is young then thats pushing it. problem is is that this is probably his 3rd or 4th contract like the majority of british born footballers of his age still in the game. By that time the money they have earned will be more than likely the equivalent most on here will not have earned until well into their 30's.

 

Saying he is young at 22 is akin to moyes saying cleveley is a hard working good young player who works hard to improve his game. And he's 25.

.

hes played about 40 games, ill bet

 

hes young

 

hes not very good either, but better than him have been written off at an older age and made it

Wasn't Kevin Davies similar to this... hat-trick against Bolton at a very young age, made a move to a bigger club and then wasn't very good until his mid-twenties?

He delivered in his first spell at Southampton

time and time again british footballers never improve from 20 onwards, rooney is no better ( in fact worse) than 2004. Whereas foreign players are on the whole more hungry and professional......tis the point i am trying to make

Jon Walters anyone?

Ricky Lambert

Pizza Hut or Dominoes?

He only delivered the specials, too much too young.

Aye, that's the one who I'm pinning my hopes on.
