Player Watch Player Watch: Mikey Moore

[eddiev14]

He’s a great prospect but nowhere near what Wayne Rooney was at 16. Let’s just give him time

He is better









And runs and hide

That's a massive claim that mate

Did you read the footer?

I’m just gonna see what he’s like if he gets some game time. At the min, I think he looks slightly lightweight due to only being young, but we’ll see.

No pressure on the lad from me.

Would not surprise me if he goes on loan (premier league team) as part of a deal for a player.

 

[chas vs dave]

Generally, those who play regularly at such a young age dwindle sooner too.
There arent many who break though at an early age and go on to play until mid 30's at a high level

Not always. Ronaldo and Messi didnt dwindle.

Rooney didnt exactly look after himself.

Moore? Not a chance he goes to a PL team this year imo.

No chance

You can't go anywhere until you're 18

You can't go anywhere until you're 18

Can move on loan domestically if you’re 17 I think.

It would surprise me. We will want him close to monitor his development and ensure he is not overused, and also ensure that he gets his 3 years as a club-trained player.

Without being that guy.
You have just disputed my comment by agreeing with my comment.
I said generally, which is not always.
I said few who break through early play into their mid 30's at a high level.
There are few like Messi and Ronaldo

I think the 18 year old thing is more in relation to players from outside of the UK coming and playing in the UK

My point is that rooney is a terrible comparison.

More modern players seem to look after themselves better, and sports science has moved on.

Im not sure overplaying at youth is as a major issue as before. Difficult to day.

Rooney was 24 when he was 16. He’s in his 50s now he’s 38.

Explains his love for older ladies.

 

[dirtyh]

Rooney was a force of nature. A fully grown man at 15yrs old.

He's grown into 3 fully grown men.

Giggs was playing regularly for United when he was 17 and played til he was nearly 40.
