BBM got him involved pre-season so he must be on the radar though. Very energetic whenever I've seen him. If we switch to a back three he'd be ideal for bombing up and down the touchline all game.
Yes, mainly at right wing and sometimes at right back. He's having to more forward to accommodate the strange signing of Charlie O'Brien.

Made more odd in that next to Mannie Barton our best U18 prospect is Noah Williams who is an outstanding right back and I think Wales U18 captain.

I really dont get some of these U21 signings of players released elsewhere, all they do is block the progress of younger more talented players. They must be agent pleasers or favours for mates.

O'Brien is OK, but he's exactly the same age as Spiers, 2 years older than Kpakio, 3 years older than Noah Williams and 4th best of that group. Who authorises these signings?

Apter is another, we have Mafico, Perrett and Twose developing nicely and now Tankiewicz coming through. Where does he fit in?
