The Athletic: Brentford want Jobe

Is he not?
As I asked many times during the season - what is he actually good at?

How is he a liability?

2nd top scorer and played a number of roles for us. Can get my head around someone not particularly rating him but saying he's a liability is beyond stupid

That was his first full season in pro football you do have to remember, not excelling at anything's not necessarily a major issue. Think we're all guilty of forgetting just how little football the likes of Ekwah and Bellingham have actually played. Some of Dan Neil's current best attributes now were near enough literally non existent in his first season in the team.

He's very good at finding space (particularly in the box) when there doesn't appear to be much. I'd like him to be stronger/more physical/more active when challenging for the ball but when he has the ball at his feet then fair play to any defender who shifts him off the ball, it doesn't happen that often. Can be frustrating him slowing it down too much at times but his ability to hold the ball and not give it away cheaply certainly isn't a bad thing.

Could argue that his game has been negatively impacted the most out of anyone by us not having a centre forward.

Good post to be fair.

It wouldn't be odd at all - it's what he's here for. You don't really think he's going to stay for long if he's any good do you?

It's all about progressing him and then selling him on for a good profit. The sooner we can do that for me the better.

The only way he'll stay long term is if he isn't that good - right now, coming off a statistically good season for an 18 year old together with his brothers high profile might mean someone pays waay over the odds for a player of his current ability.

I'm not saying I expected him to be here for years. I am just surprised it would be immediately after the first year.

Well what is he good at? He spent more time on the pitch than anyone in mainly an attacking midfield position and we didn’t have a striker. He should be getting the odd goal

Aye I can understand that.
It's fkn bewildering seeing some of the comments

You'd think he was some major signing expected to fire us out the league. He was bought as a project and performed well in a poor side. Embarrassing the way some people are going on about one of our best assets
