I guess there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.Pogba?

It’s the eternal mouth and trousers situation. If you have both, you’re close to unstoppable.I guess there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
He is genuinely good though...arrogance would be Bendtner. The kind of arrogance that ruins your career. Only time tells.Pogba?
I liked the bit where the pixel moved.Bloody hell, after all the warnings not to watch, I watched that vid.
Well that's taught me to listen in future.
Would have to be registered? I thought it was only senior players who need to beHe’s supposedly not been registered by Fulham for the coming season so he’s definitely on the move just where to is the question
Hasn’t been names in the clubs intake of scholars.Would have to be registered? I thought it was only senior players who need to be
Especially since Parker had never been involved with him at any age level before taking him into the first team. He must’ve shown something when training with the first teamIs it weird I'm quite excited about the prospect of this one? I'm all for bringing in talented 16/17/18 year olds to start pushing the senior players, and you have to have something about you to feature in the PL at that age
Of the two, looks more like SalahLoads of rumours about Elliot on Twitter, although I gave up after seeing a disagreement about whether he was a right back or more like a left footed Salah.
He reminds me a bit of Harry Wilson at the same age.His departure (if it does end up happening) will cock up their plans, I think given he was tagged as their replacement for Sessegnon.
No that was United 55 years ago!Didn't Liverpool sign a 16-year old Irish (or Northern Irish perhaps) kid who was described as a tricky winger with blistering pace?
He's too good for cameras to work closer than 200 yards away. They can't handle the speed of movement.I liked the bit where the pixel moved.
From that video it could have been Harold Wilson playing!He reminds me a bit of Harry Wilson at the same age.
Would I feel bad about taking both? Nope. Sign em up!His departure (if it does end up happening) will cock up their plans, I think given he was tagged as their replacement for Sessegnon.
I remember seeing Robinson come on at Emirates for the injured Aurelio. Me and the fans around me we thinking oh fuck Walcott v Robinson that’s that. But Robinson was superb. Matched Walcott for pace and never got beat once. Thought we had a superstar on our hands.I do remember a young Irish player being signed, who was apparently being courted by team like Madrid, after googling it was Alex O’Hanlon.
The problem with young players is that they develop/mature at different rates. For example and @Sweeting might have more insight into this but two scenarios for us is Robinson/Flanagan and Wilson/kent. The former of two scenarios were considered the better prospect but the later seemed to kick on more in senior role. Infact, i seem to remember thinking what had happened to Wilson as he seemed to have been sucked into a black hole - but he had a great season in the youth team two seasons ago which inspired Derby to take a gamble on him and now he is being valued at £20m.
Iv seen enough young players not kick on for one reason or another, Wisdom, Rossiter, Ojo and Ibe to name a few. I am gutted Ibe has not progressed because he has great attributes and I worry Woodburn will follow suit.
What fills me with confidence (touchwood) is that we seem to be excelling in all areas as a club and most notably in out recruitment. Where as before we signed young players on a percentage basis it feels like we are actually targeting the best and going for quality rather than quantity.
Lean poll options please.
