I'm starting to get the feeling that this lad is the real deal. In lots of ways he reminds me of Ben Chilwell when he was with us on loan. He looks a natural footballer. Sometimes, you look at a player and go 'yes'. I predict a very good career.

I was talking to a certain ex centre half and managerial old boy yesterday and we both agree he is going to the very top. Should never be wasted at left back again though

It all seems natural and effortless, he glides past players easily and is so composed on the ball. Good movement and sees the game well - lots of clever one twos that get him in behind players to get us moving up the pitch.
Great work rate and is surprisingly quick too, also quite feisty and aggressive so he isn’t bullied off it despite being quite small.

Won't be far from the first name on the team sheet, looks like we might of found one here and a great advert for a young'un going out on loan, let's hope he keeps improving.

He's fairly short and doesn't look 'gym' big, but he has relatively stocky legs. You need a strong core and legs for football. Some guys who look 'hard' with big biceps and chests are just all for show. Anyway, he's a natural footballer. The only thing I haven't seen very much of yet is incisive passing in the final third (actually played a couple of poor balls when he moved to 10). A guarenteed starter and at the very least top end Champ player.

Hes a great player. Still got lots to learn in some of his decision making but all the things you need to get to the top are there. Energy, skill, work rate, positional sense. Hes adaptable, enthusiastic and strong.
People worry about Grant leaving but I think OBrien could well be the one getting most interest from prem clubs. Think there'll be lots of them watching him very closely.

Played well at left back, but we missed him in midfield. Put Kongolo in and let O'Brien play in his best position.

Fortunately Real Madrid will not therefore be sniffing around! A lad with a footballing brain.

The guy is a disgrace and should never wear the shirt again. An over rated over paid player who thinks he is better than us. Would rather play Flo.... or even Bockhorn.

Well I kinda meant put Kongolo in and possibly go to 3 at the back. DC said last week that Bockhorn was nowhere near ready for the first team so no chance he'll be involved anytime soon.

His emergence should go someway to offsetting the massive loss we'll have on the Mbenza, Kongolo, Diakhaby and co deals
If there aren't offers in January, there will be next summer. I bet the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth, Villa, Newcastle and so on are keeping a close eye on him

Would rather play Flo.... or even Bockhorn. To be fair, he is better than us. I wouldn't knock TK's attitude - he was a massive part of our Premier League survival playing out of position and never took his bat home like some at any stage last season. I'm sure it is in Town's best interests as well as his that he gets a move in January - could be that we just don't want to jeopardise anything by getting him injured - unless there's some ITK detail you have on him?

I thought he lost interest about last xmas when it became clear we wouldn;t be in the prem much longer. he hasn;t looked like the player we had on loan ever since he singed permanently really and Id put him down as one of the main culprits who seemed to take their bat home in the 2nd half of last season. Just didn;t look interested. He got injured this season but really he should have been dropped well before that happened.

I bet the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth, Villa, Newcastle and so on are keeping a close eye on him I’m still waiting for mbenza and diakhaby to start tearing this division up......it’s surely just around the corner! You are right though..........I suspect the losses on those 3 alone would run to 20m. I’d be surprised if we could give mbenza away.

Its obvious Mbenza Must have a serious Ability Problem for The Cowleys not to even put him on the heated seats.
As for Lewis he has to play in midfield tonight, he is our ford engine., fine tuned.

Sometimes, you look at a player and go 'yes'. I predict a very good career. Only one way to know for sure, ask Otium, if he says he's bound for the likes of Eastleigh then the lad will be OK, his wo rry is if he's tipped to get to the likes of Barcelona.

Best young lad I’ve seen here in years - a natural footballer who has talent at his feet, but more than anything else he reads the game so well he can play just about anywhere. Also has a massive quality........he wants to bloody play!!!! In current times of sulky players that shouldn’t be underestimated.
