I'm ashamed to say I didn't really notice young Furo.
Was too busy willing Josh to get to the final whistle in one piece.
:hat:
It was almost a dream triple sub - young player making his PL debut, several times injured player making a reappearance (and booking his World Cup place) and the miraculous comeback of a player out for over 2 years.
We dont do things by half

Met Kaye briefly this evening, as my 9 year old likes to wait around for the players autographs after the match. Seems a very graceful and gentle young man, gave the kids waiting as much time as they needed and didn't seem in any hurry to get away.

This kind of stuff matters a lot to me, so I thought I'd post

I am really interested to see what this guy will bring this season, nobody will be interested in his music when he is on the pitch.

I am not saying dud but am expecting him to be regular sub and get more minutes and score a few goals.

If he went out, we'd be relying on Wilson to be fit for every game and at 34, with a chequered injury record, that might not be wise. Keep him around and let him work with two high quality experienced forwards
Tbf before Furo joined we had even fewer options. Dango and Schade can play up front and we have more depth with Wilson and Anthony now too. Think it’s very unlikely Furo gets meaningful minutes and a loan probably would be best

I imagine this season we’ll see more of Keith’s attack-attack-attack until the final whistle, so he’ll have a part to play.

I hope so

I think that something to comment on is that with the PL2 season this year, there is more opportunity to keep players around that we want in and around the first time. This is a high level of competition, local, and allows us to help these players grow while under our close purview instead of out on loan.

We can't be sending Furo out on loan.
Why not? This game has shown he’s too good for U21 level.

I understand the positives of training with Thiago and Wilson every week, but if he can’t even make the bench for a league cup game at Birmingham then I don’t think a loan with regular minutes is a bad idea.

I think he may have had a knock for that one.

One injury to Thiago or Wilson away and he's needed.I said the same about Carvalho with regard to Jensen and Dams and now Jensen is injured.

We might require him 👍

I’m not convinced he would be needed in all honesty. Even if Thiago / Wilson got injured I suspect Keith would play Schade or Dango up top before Furo, but happy to be proven wrong!

I can forsee a scenario where Wilson gets injured (being as he is 34 with a patchy injury record) and Kaye relieves Igor of his duties from the bench, but I think you're right in that if both were injured Schade would start with Anthony coming in on the left

I agree he wouldn't start but we need that strong squad and if one of those 2 stepped in,we'd be short elsewhere.

He was at both Birmingham and Leeds warming up with the first team even though he wasn't in the team or on the bench which confused this particular correspondent more than somewhat.

ISTR (for Brum, I think) it was said that he travelled with the team as the spare man in case there was a last-minute withdrawal from the match-day squad.

Anyway, he's an integral member of the striker department and will learn more by training with Thiago and Wilson than being bashed about by some football league cloggers.

I can't see why not, After the great performance today against Sunderland U21's, even if its only short term one until January, he needs senior football, after all we paid a reported £8 million for him, He's played in the Champions league against Arsenal, appeared in 2 FA cup matches for us as well as a sub in the Premier against WH so he's already had a taste of it, we are in a much better position than last season regards injured players, a middle Championship club would be ideal, after all its only 4 months until Jan 1st.

He also came across as a really nice and humble young man after the game as well, just seemed to be enjoying his football. The kids are absolutely buzzing to get a couple of pics with him today

Think he’ll learn more working with Thiago and Wilson than going on loan now
