saintwbu Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 Been hoping to see him for a while, think he got injured last season at a time he was probably on the brink of getting a chance. Really hope this is the first of a few appearances in months to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconnect Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 Also thought he looked good, and that he potentially might offer a bit more than Obafemi as a lively young option off the bench. Has looked good in a few of the 'B' team matches I've seen over the past couple of years too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has looked good in a few of the 'B' team matches I've seen over the past couple of years too. In the games I have seen and he has been playing - he has looked a bit of a handful more often than not. In the Chelsea game last week aside from Che we looked small in stature as a team. Seeing Dan on the pitch yesterday leaves no doubt he is a big lad.

saintwbu Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 I also liked that when someone had a shot from distance (can’t remember who) he was following up incase Pickford spilt it (he almost did). Simple, but so many players don’t do it, and shows that natural strikers instinct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N'Lundulu has always stood out when playing for the under 23s so really hope this is the first of more appearances to come for him. He certainly looked lively when he came on yesterday Edited 26 October, 2020 by davefizzy14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 November, 2020 Share Posted 8 November, 2020 Another academy product that looks to have the potential to be the real deal. Look who he has to displace though...can’t see him getting serious game time unless there’s a cup game against a lower league side coming up, which will be shame as I like the look of him.

If he displaces Long & Obafemi then he become 3rd choice striker (perhaps 4th choice if you include Walcott), not beyond the realms of possibility. He possibly already has overtaken Obafemi in the pecking order or at the very least is competing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he's only had limited time, I think he potentially offers more than Obafemi and Long and will become a really decent player. Seems to win some tough tackles, is pretty pacey and even had a few tricks up his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Corbyn Posted 8 January, 2021 Share Posted 8 January, 2021 Yeah, really like the look of him, he's clearly very strong physically but he also has quick feet and good technique to his shooting. Hopefully he gets a couple of starts this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 16 June, 2021 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2021 He’s at the age where he’s too good for B’s but not good quite enough to get himself in the 1st team. Would have assumed it was a loan, but forgot his contract is up in 2022. Easy to slate him, but we haven’t had enough players come through recently who you could say are too good for the U23’s. It’s so difficult to be considered good enough to be a prem level player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 16 June, 2021 Share Posted 16 June, 2021 This makes sense, as others have said, not going to make it here.

Saint Garrett Posted 16 June, 2021 Share Posted 16 June, 2021 Fair enough, clearly not good enough to be playing for us. Obafemi 2 years younger, better than him, and also probably won’t make it. No point him staying at Saints really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever little money we can get will help. Same with the Goalkeepers, shipping Angus for whatever fee is a positive. Not really looking at the fees we get, it's more the reduction in the wage bill and the space it opens up for either free transfers/loans etc. I think we need to clear the decks as much as we can - the big ones for me are Lemina, Hoedt maybe Forster....those going would make a huge difference to what we could do. We need to stop holding out for stupid fees with these guys, just get what we get and shift them on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 16 June, 2021 Share Posted 16 June, 2021 First touch is nowhere near good enough for the Premier League. He has some good attributes and may end up half decent but is never going to get any sort of game time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 17 June, 2021 Share Posted 17 June, 2021 I agree with The Cat's point. Sims and Hesketh had the skills but not the physicality. He'll make a career in the game but not at the top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although reality is his wages are likely to be very immaterial in the grand scheme of things, so club probs thought worth keeping on that front. A two year deal may have sufficed, I hope he shows Lincoln how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
