He’s on the bench

Suppose we’ll see. I’d rather he be careful with players rather than rushing them back in though.

As in he’s fit?

He’s 23 years old. So 6 years ago he was 17. I don’t know his development but if he’s been playing in top divisions and then he’s come to us, I’m not that surprised if he hasn’t had much game time. Still young-ish. Couple of injuries. We’ll see how this year goes, but like I said, this was him...

So your point is Allen’s going to be shit?

QPR! Great shout!

I’d say more the Real one. I like the arsenal one. Throwback to late 80’s/early 90’s!

I’m guessing it’s Nicholas
