Nmecha

He goes there Surridge comes here?

Personally from what i've seen of Nemecha i'd like him another season. He's maturing this season and we won't see the best of him which is no good for us imo, but you can see his ability and quality at times. Wigan at home for example.

Aye I've said this, I think if he goes on loan to someone else next season, and lets face it there'll be loads looking to take him, then I think they will see the best of him. He's doing a lot of his learning here and will become a far better player for it.

I'd be surprised if a Premier League club made a permanent bid for him at this stage though.
 
Far better player than when we had Josh King on loan at a similar age, he's ended up doing pretty well for himself.

Would be disappointed to lose him, can see him hitting a purple patch soon.

The problem i have here is at this moment in time looking at our current plight, it doesn't work for us but that could change. He's 19 and at the moment we need some experience up top, someone like the lad from Boro who they have on loan, the name escapes me though.
 
Well I would say the Lad has a lot to learn yet but I wish him well for the future.
Which brings me back to my favourite theme, what’s good it to us of him learning here if we can't keep him, better to sign someone who can make a difference now

We do need to get some experience in. Young rookies are fine when it works well for all parties but not necessarily what you need in a championship relegation scrap.
 
I am interested to know what those who confidently posted that he would score 10 goals plus now think, especially given that he has ballsed up a sitter or two.

Nothing against the lad. Telling though that the much maligned Moult, whom I am a fan of, has out scored him by 3 goals this season in much much less game time...

I think a few were blinded by the City / Pep link, end of the day, a strikers currency is goals...

I agree with that. Moult is just beginning to answer the stick he's been getting with the odd goal. I know a lot are convinced Nmecha will soon start scoring but how long can we keep saying this for? And what is the real evidence to suggest that he will? He's abviuosly got some talent otherwise premier league clubs wouldn't be looking at him but we can't just keep pointing to his performance against Wigan. He's been here four months now and needs to find his shooting boots and quick. If his spell ends with a return of just one or two goals he's not going to go down as one of our better signings.
 
I believe the lad will start scoring soon. He is now starting to get used to the mans game, not an easy thing for a 19 year old. City need to think seriously about his future, moving him up to a prem team next season would almost certainly be a mistake. Assuming we turn our season around and the lad does reasonably well, another season with us might not be the worst scenario for him.

Moult is 26, and played far more competitive football than Nmecha, who's basically beginning his professional career, so to some extent I would expect him to score more (for now).

I've seen enough of Nmecha in the Wigan game to believe he will go on to have a bigger impact on the game than Moult, over the coming years.

You’re spot on. I think the 15+ that some predicted will be difficult.

No doubt he’s a top player though, JD. He just doesn’t seem to be a goal scorer (not in our system, anyway). Most of his work is outside the box.

But I agree that not having scored yet is very poor.

Didn't you have a bet on Maguire being the leagues top scorer? And backed us to go up as Champions?

He, Nmecha, needs to do more, but he looked good Vs Villa, Wigan and Brentford which were probably the best 3 performances of the season from the team. Now, did he feed off the rest of the team playing well or was he the reason we played well?

After 3 games out and watching from the stands something seemed to click in the Villa game (the only 90 minute performance of his) which he carried on vs Wigan, didn't do a lot at Hull but then did well vs Brentford. A couple of key matches to come if he is to kick on and a winning goal vs the plastics wouldn't be a bad way to start.

Champions was last season - we finished 7th so I wasn't too far out compared to most.

Maguire I had Each Way then a week or so later, he got himself injured. Sods Law.

What's your point?

My point is that for a Striker, goals are currency as much as Clean Sheets are for a Goalkeeper / Defender.

I forgot his name as well. I think he missed a one on one for Boro on Saturday and is yet to score this season. 100% a 20 goal a season striker though.
 
I don't agree with the loan market ( other than emergencies) because at the end of the day it may give you ( or your opponents) an unfair advantage...I think your squad should stand or fall based on signings at the start of the season and who you buy in the window ( no escape with that Trev ).......

That aside, the loan market isn't going away so could someone please explain to me the logic of bringing in a rookie and developing him for another club?...... If we are to play the loan market then for heavens sake at least bring in the finished article that can actually improve on what we've got... I've nothing against this lad and I'm sure he'll be a " good un " in time but it'll be for someone else and he's hardly likely to fire us up the league or ever likely to become a PNE player is he? Don't see the point personally.
 
I see your point Libs, I guess the point of signing youngsters on loan would be that you might just strike lucky and unearth a gem fairly cheaply, or may have spotted someone who you think would fit perfectly into your system, or test a coach's credentials with the challenge of polishing a young player up. Of course, if managed properly, a successful loan move could help forge good relations with a larger parent club such as City which might help to keep the supply line open in the future.

If you can see that in one game you should apply for chief scouts job you'd save Hemmings a fortune in diesel alone. Boom Boom🙂
 
With our luck you could see the Bournemouth scouts watching Nmecha and thinking "that Robinson might be worth a punt"
