Bali Mumba

Held his own against Aribo? Central midfield was non existent, Aribo was running straight through it.

Mumba might be a talent and could have been used more from the bench but he was only slightly built and wasn't outstanding centrally - at 16/17 he looked miles away from playing regularly as a central midfielder and both Norwich, Sunderland un23s and I believe the Eng youth side he was playing for a few years back all have used him at fullback.

Id rather have kept players like Mumba than sign who we did, but I don't think he's cut out for central midfield and people were lenient on his league performances because of age and end result, though he did play well a few times in the Football Lesgue Trophy.
This sentence sums up the stupidity of Donald’s regime and the frustration of us fans. We signed absolute shite and let quality leave, effectively to make a few quid which we lost again in failure.
 
If he flops so what he's still so young
yes but if he flops in the championship at 20..it indicates somethign about where his level of peak potetial is...and may impact whether norwhich play him in the champo next season. 20 is not that young.

they made short term signings, most of which failed, and got rid of players who may, but only may, have been useful in the long term.

So if Dan Neil does same next season if we are promoted you will write him off 20 is young and players can massively improve

they can massively imprive of course...but the point is...if they, at 20 are already champo standard, then the likely improvement will likely take them to the premier league...if at 20 they need to improce to be champo level, then it indicates thats their peak.
Dan Neil isnt a great comparison with mumba, he has done far more in his career already.

I’d say medium term

What was vardy doing aged 20 you know nothing you have a lot of opinions for someone who just lies about going to games

He'll only be there a few months. I wouldn't say its going to dictate where he's career is going to be with a short loan spell. They are probably loaning him to a championship team so he gets used to league more and hes ready to play in championship for them next season.
 
Peterborough are the promoted side who've not really competed in the league. I'm not sure Mumba alone will be able to do a lot to help them.
he doesnt haver to do anything alone..i mean if he becomes a first choice...for them for the remainder of the season..that would be a mark of considerable success.

vardy is an outlier...an exception that doesnt prove the rule. using him as an example is always a sign an argument has run aground.
Well done Stewart Donald 🙄
if he fails at peterborough..the fee safc got will look like very good business

Same age as Dan Niel, be interesting to see who has the most successful career
I know who my monies on
Its way too early to say. Neil is getting game time and is literally improving before our eyes. Mumba, like Greenwood, needs consistent first team football. Hopefully he will do well at Posh and begin to develop. Its a massive shame for us that these lads weren't here at Sunderland still. Mumba could still turn out to be a Premiership player and Neil may not reach that level - although I very much think Neil will.

i broadly agree with this..but he has been at norwhich 18 months or so now...
