CJ Egan-Riley

[wmdave_b]

This lad is a Rolls Royce of a passer. Some of the balls he played yesterday were top drawer. Thought he deserved a thread.

You'd hope Mr Pace will be having a chat about a new contract soon, he can walk for nowt in summer. Transfermkt values him at not much more than a million. Bollox, he's worth a lot more than that.

[ballcock]

We need to get this lads signature ASAP, he is a class act.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I will give Der Kaiser his due he can certainly spot talent.

I simply do not comprehend how we get ourselves in this position.

Do we not have a contract manager?

[Turf_Forever]

Have to admit I am totally amazed how good he's turning out. Just goes to show what a decent run in a first team can do.

Would we have ever uncovered him if Beyer & Ekdal had remained fit? And where are they going to fit in now?!

Either way get the lad pinned down on a 5 year deal. New market value ?12m+.

Some of the long passes he plays are out of this world and he really is brilliant at dispossessing an opposing forward running at him at pace with the ball.

He lacks a bit of pace but Esteve covers him in that department.

Far better defender than Beyer are Ekdal

[army88]

He?s not a better footballer than Beyer - reads the game better , and carries the ball better

Egan Riley has good passing range though - we?ve been here before with Harwood Bellis who I thought was better than all three and he?s bottom of the league with Southampton not looking the player he was.

Our centre backs get protected a lot ( that isn?t a criticism of them - I do watch them sometimes though and we?re lucky to get away with stuff .

Agreed army88 they have only been really unlucky nine times this season.
