He'd be the 4th youngest in English football history if he gets on tomorrow 😳
With the injuries Mowbray hinted towards I’d be surprised if we were out of sight to the point we’d bring a 15 year old on. More than happy to be wrong mind.
 
It only goes to a compensation figure if the two clubs can't agree a mutual fee. We've sold other 15 years olds in recent years which haven't gone to the PFCC as we've agreed a fee first.
It goes to compensation more often than not, unless buying club offers a crazy amount of money.
You don't pay a set amount of compensation for a player of that age though. Being in and around the squad is one of the main factors that can make the compensation fee higher.
Might make it higher but not going to make a massive amount of difference. Think a lot a speculation is going on with him he might not even be in the squad yet! And if he is might be due to injuries,TM seemed to be hinting we might have a few more players out

£2.5-£3mill was the number being banded.

Depends how you're defining it. It's certainly made a substantial amount of difference in the amount Liverpool are going to have to pay for Harvey Elliott.

What is your point out of interest?

We might even be putting him on the bench to show him he'll get games for us in the future but since we're not winning games at the moment it's only negative opinions accepted.
 
You appear to think a 15 year old is shite because he hasn't been in a squad yet without injuries. Is that your point?
Not really sure what you are reading, never mentioned him being shite. I've said if he is in the squad it might be due to a injuries that TM has alluded to. He hasn't been mentioned being in the squad till this game.

You might be right, or he might just be in the squad because we have a lot of injuries.

Maybe, we don't really just a lot of speculation. He might travel and not be in the match day squad for all we now. We will find out 2morrow night

He's doing incredibly well at 15 to be anywhere near the squad regardless of injuries.

Especially when you consider we paid a fee for a 20 year old in the summer who can't get anywhere near the squad when we haven't had a single fit striker for two months.

Not sure when you are trying so hard to play it down so I'm not sure what your point is? Why does it matter if he's not been mentioned in a squad yet?

I've never seen him play, but I live in Jarrow and ocassionally hear folk talking about like a cross between Gaza and Roy Keane, obviously in the context of his skill set albeit at youth levels.

Not really sure what you are trying to argue about !!! I'm not trying hard to do anything , the lad is a talented player by all accounts. But he hasn't been in the squad all season so if he is in it's probably down to more injuries as TM has alluded to. That's not a go at the player that's just common sense.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm asking you to clarify what you mean. He's being given a chance at 15 that players older than him still can't get regardless of injuries or no injuries.

Of course it's more likely he will be in a squad with injuries but to do it at his age (while older players are ignored and can't get a sniff) suggests he's got something about him and the club value him enough to fast track him to either want to convince him his future is here, or to protect themsleves financially (at least to a degree) and if he's as good as made out it is the right thing to do.
Bit depressing this, should be buzzing bringing a class young player into the squad at that age, but shite knowing he’s off to Newcastle

Ah so that's why his ability is being played down. Starting to make sense now.
