Probably told by a bellend that thought Shashoua and Lesniak were going to be the next crop of youngsters to break through because Poch put them on the bench. A whole slew of articles came out about them and they all ignored the fact that many of the ones we're actually expecting to push through were all either injured or away on international duty.
This isn't to slag Shashoua, but I don't believe anyone thinks he's in the same crop as Onomah, KWP, CCV, Edwards, etc. and is instead in the one behind and still needs more time for physical maturity.
I reckon you're right. I think people have a tendency to do that. It reminds me of this
Adhithya@adhithya35 18 Oct 2016Edwards, Onomah & CCV are the most hyped but I'm looking forward to seeing Anton Walkes progress. Looks good when I've seen him #thfc #COYS
Someone who clearly doesn't know much, has just seen Walkes being included. He isn't well-known so thought he'd go against the grain to look like he knows something someone else doesn't. If Walkes magifcally happened to pull a Livermore he could pull this tweet out smh
Re: Shashoua and I feel a lot of his year group I almost feel they have created a tier between the normal 1 and 2 I mention. I would say he has more promise than Harrison but you're right he isn't among those lot at the moment. He was one of the few to sign a pro contract really early so he is clearly rated but Edwards is real potential quality. Shashoua could be there but as you say is at least a year off being even considered
