I've seen lots of highlights and catch games online when I can and it's clearly evident that Donley has tremendous eyes for both a shot and a pass. However, he looks devoid of any real athleticism imo.. He's certainly not afraid to get stuck in, and credit to him.
I've thought this for quite a while and with each game it's only reinforced, but he quite literally moves and plays with the same stye and gait as Lo Celso.
He was 16 in August this year.How long until Mikey makes his first team debut?
Lets see how he does with the U21s first.How long until Mikey makes his first team debut?
Yeah, it's hard not to get excited about the lad and the numbers he's putting up but he's still so young and the next three years will give us more of an idea as to where he's going to end up.Lets see how he does with the U21s first.
There are more recent examples too.Yeah, it's hard not to get excited about the lad and the numbers he's putting up but he's still so young and the next three years will give us more of an idea as to where he's going to end up.
We all want the next Rooney, Messi or Bellingham but we've also lived through many like Lee Barnard before.
I was convinced that he was going to be a legend when he was in the youth teams, putting up incredible numbers.
Social media really doesn't help these youngsters nowadays, when they've got the likes of Romano bigging them up, it's going to be hard to keep grounded.
If he can keep this up and break through at 17 or 18, that's brilliant but let's just temper our expectations for someone who's still a kid.
Yeah, there's a long way to go for this lad yet.There are more recent examples too.
Troy Parrott's numbers were even better at that level (Moore would need 4 goals and/or assists in his next 2 games to equal Parrott) but he wasn't much more than OK at U21 level abd he hasn't produced in mens football.
Scarlett was great at U18s, didn't really do well at U21 and is struggling at mens football.
Both players are still developing so hardly failures or let downs.There are more recent examples too.

Certainly but I think time may be running short for Troy and as excited as I was for Dane, I'm just not sure he's got anything that makes him stand out.Both players are still developing so hardly failures or let downs.
I agree and I'm not writing them off, this is in regards too Moore being ready for our first team and I'm pointing out there is still a long way to go & higher levels to prove himself at, which Parrott and Scarlett are still trying to do.Both players are still developing so hardly failures or let downs.
We might potentially see Donley make the 1st team bench this week or later this month. Sounds like Richy is set to undergo pelvic surgery, which will likely keep him out for a couple weeks, if not more.
