"not good enough" is different from "not good", which seems to be the implication in the current arguments.Originally Posted by justme
As demonstrated, among his own peers and players his age-range he was obviously good enough to be the player of the tournament in a continental competition.
Expecting him to be good enough to displace players with decades of experience and skill ahead of him int he pecking order, is in my opinion ridiculous.
Is there any other player in our history coming up through the ranks from the junior squad that had a similar-type breakthrough into the first team with that kind of impact that you can recall....not named "Owen" or "Gerrard"?
Maybe Raheem..... but even he didn't come up through our system and we bought him from Chelsea.
It would be like saying we don't see Trey Nyoni more because he's..."not good enough".
Which is tough big talk for a club that's had the season we've had and with the way our midfield (outside of Szoboslai) has played this season.
If we're bashing him for going to another club and failing to break into their first team or get any playing time - not for any reasons related to his playing ability as noted, but for reasons beyond his control and not related at all - then....perhaps we truly do deserve our upcoming time in the wilderness again from winning anything in a long time.
I expect to see Rio and Trey getting likewise pushed out in the coming seasons for "not being good enough" when they eventually inevitably fail to be able to carry all the (unrealistic) expectations of fans and a club starved of success down the line.
Only to go find success elsewhere.

I hope for his sake he finds another club to go to like Kelleher did.
This club is just becoming too toxic and it's not worth the effort anymore.
If I were a young player I wouldn't want to come here, and I'll not blame Rio (or Trey) one bit when they eventually decide to move on.
