Not on this occasion though, as he turned out to be ****e.
He was a very talented kid who perhaps thought he had made it too soon, and suffered the pitfalls of same.
He was not the first nor will he be the last. Bentley for instance a very obvious one. We have a new shiny star almost every summer, a Jeff or a Zelalem, young kids that adults who frankly should know better get excited about. Most fall by the wayside.
I recall reading a story about Hughes when he went to Fulham, perhaps on loan, and was horrified to find that his training gear was not duly collected on day 1 and washed/laundered/returned in pristine condition for day 2. Now I expect journalistic licence played a part here as no footballer at that level washes their own gear but it was used to illustrate the gaping difference between the pampered surroundings of AFC and lesser clubs.
Good observations.
He scored the other goal of the game when Dennis did this...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
He was actually rather good, Dennis.
Watching the current team versus that lot from the late nineties makes you want to pull your eyes out...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
Who do you think would win?
