I randomly met him about 3/4 months ago, I asked him how far off first team he was. His english wasnt great but he said something like, he hoped to be involved this coming season but probably season after. I asked him would he be stopping if we got relegated he said “yes definitely”
He’s OK, and one of the better members of the Development Squad. Quite pacy – but I would say still a way off being a Premier League player. Needs a spell in the lower divisions. Isn’t really tested in the Reserves League.
That goal in the video was a bit of a one-off, I’m afraid.
Definitely a prospect, but don’t hold your breath that he’ll be like his grandad.
there’s a clip on the internet somewhere of Bobby being interviewed not long after that goal in this thread was scored.
One of the journalists mentions the goal & then asks if he’s almost ready for the first time
Bobby replies with a very strong no & then says he’s 2 or 3 years off
