Is Trai Hume good enough for the Prem?

[John J Rambo]

Really like Hume, but he struggled against Gordon and also struggled against Fulham couple years ago. Would love him to step up, but think its 50/50 atm.

 

[Boris Bear]

I think he will manage this season but longer term no

 

[Arfa Sleep]

I reckon we'll see.

 

[Parkmaverick]

I think you're a mag.

I wondered New Member controversial post

50/50 as in Yes he will/No he won’t?

I think I have to agree.

 

[Boz33]

One of the few in the championship team that could maybe step up and make a fist of it, he's just gotta amend his game a little to give himself a yard in any foot races against the wingers that let's be honest are rapid in the prem.
Good thing is we know if he gets a chance of taking a winger out in a fair challenge he ain't gonna take prisoner, anyone seen a flying Gordon? could well launch him 5ft in the air given half a chance

 

[craigypants]

I think he can improve with better players around him. He can expect players to hold the ball and then release him up the right at the optimum moments. If our midfield can help him out he won't get so isolated.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

He’s earned his chance, as has Ballard & Mayenda - and to a lesser extent, Patterson - although we’re likely going for a new number one.

Those 3 are the players who I think have a chance, jobe was another

That infamous Newcastle game was 18 months ago, we were tactically all over the place, out of form, and Trai has developed significantly since then. A lot has changed in that time.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Patto has been entirely written off, and will be painting the lines on school pitches by September.

Neil will be hoping Hartlepool will offer him a challenge.

Now it looks like Hume's best hope is for Parky to need someone for free kicks and corners.

 

[Ohnonotagain]

No, too slow.

 

[DR CHEESE]

I'm not convinced, what do you think?

Yes, him and ballard, cirkin if he stays fit, others such as mayender, Roberts and mundle will get better with the new signings

 

[Travis]

Still relatively young so has some learning to do at highest level but he seems more than capable.

 

[fredthefan]

Deserves the opportunity. Good season last season and arguably our best performer. He’ll be working hard and I think he’ll do ok.

 

[ChicagoCat]

Transfer window isn’t shut yet. The way we’re recruiting it wouldn’t surprise me if we bring in a defender capable of playing both centre back and full back

Need this. Pace concerns are very obvious with Trai.

 

[bozwellboyce]

Yep, mebbes he is. Confidence and all that, the lads got loads. Fair enough he struggled against the g....r p..s bis...t, but that was over a year ago and he had little support around him.

 

[LukeJH96]

Absolutely he is

 

[TheShaunIdentity]

I’ve got no doubt Trai will make the step up. Rate him very highly

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Gets forward, hell of a tackler , crosses he puts in are very good, who knows? Are any of them apart from xhaka ?

Aye Le Fee is.

I assume you mean for certain. Adingra too

 

[BucketBiff]

I do worry he'll get done for pace a lot in the Prem like. I'd be more comfortable with an upgrade at RB but it's not the highest priority I suppose.

I like him more when he pushes forward. I think he will be alright as he will be pretty deep.
