He's 19, not 16. If he was that well rated he'd have made his debut by now.

Because 19 is well old ain’t it

Does he? Did he tell you this?

He said he was impressed with some of the youngsters who he was forced to play pre season and they have made him re think his squad needs. Has said it more than once to be fair.
Obikwu and Andrews have been the ones making the bench so draw your own conclusions?

He also said he will be pleased when Tavares is back - he also said he needs 10 more players - he also said the NHS struggle doing fitness tests for players on deadline day

Obikwu is very highly regarded and we can always go back to the box formation if needed

We could revert to the box but also need to consider that we don't currently have one of the best forwards I have seen playing that role in our squad anymore. As @Hobo said we have a couple of younger players on the fringes and Robins is clearly thinking they can step up and I hope he is right as we have a huge number of goals to replace with Gus and Vik going.

Young players have to start sometime, I would have liked another striker recruited(still time) but failing that Obikwu has earned a chance to be fourth choice striker, as long as fans give him a decent chance and not expect an instant superstar he might surprise us all.
He has good skills.

TBF he has bigged up youngsters before. Bapaga, anyone?

I watched a few U18/U21 matches last year and none of these seemed anywhere near ready to step up to first team duties yet. Not saying they won't eventually, but they've got a lot to do to get there IMO.

In modern football I would say it is quite old to have not played a single minute of professional football.

Tom Cannon gone to Leicester. That’s a great signing for them.

So we've probably ended up a player short of what we need .. a small plus is lati can play midfield .

I reckon another striker wouldn't have gone a miss so probably 2 /3 players short of Robins ideal world maybe ..

Think he could do a job there but not the most convincing on the ball. Think he’s better suited to CB.

Wouldn't be too concerned. Takes time for paperwork, etc.

I agree , I think the only way we'd EVER play him as a holding midfielder is if we had no other choice

Although they’ve won every game, they have scraped it. They were a striker away from walking it and now they’ve got it…Vardy doesn’t cut it anymore.
