Good to have a dose of positivity on here. Lets hope we can give the lad a chance. I like the comment from the coach "he came here as a boy and is going back as a man". That's what loans are all about i suppose.

I'd like to see him training with the first team next season. I'm sure working with Eriksen would be excellent for him.

Anyone know who the first best player was?

The guy who did the commentary for this is hilarious. Get him in the prem!

I didn't realise the details of the loan meant he can only play till he's 21. Would be a shame as Swindon still have an outside chance of making the playoffs. I hope Tim's been paying attention to his performances and gets him in the squad for our last two games of the season.

Do you know who that is or was that a sarcastic comment?

I have no idea who he is, but from that short clip I love him haha

Why who is it? He doesn't already do prem commentary does he..? :cautious:

League One is nowhere near the Premier League, so I'm sorry but Im not too excited by the prospect of him playing in the first team. He sure can take a free kick though!

Looks like Van Gaal to United then...

No one's saying he should start straight away. He's just been voted second best player of the season in a league where there isn't a huge difference in class from the Championship. According to the terms of the loan he'll be available for our last two league games. Those two games will probably be fairly meaningless as we won't make the top four, but will probably be OK for EL qualification. It's a great opportunity for a manager who prides himself on giving youth a chance to give a confident and talented player his first break into our first team.

This kid has a good a right foot as Beckham. I'd be tempted to bring him into the squad next and if we make EL then make him a starter. I am sure that Sherwood knows all about him anyway.

Excellent prospect.

I really like him I think eriksen and Pritchard would give us a lot of quality in the final third
