Crysencio Summerville

A lot of players spend on gambling, some on tattoos.

Summerville?

Most definitely his teeth

Bloody hell, more random poster than random post. How's it going BA?

I keep popping in...

Been stupidly busy for the last couple of years. But am now looking to retire in the next 18 months or less.

Keeping going. How's you?

If so then it’s a good investment, for all the smiling he’ll be doing after scoring and in MOTM interviews after games!

Also, his teeth will look sooooo much better in 50 years time than any green smudge left of a tattoo bought now!

If Summerville continues to contribute a goal or an assist at his current rate for the rest of the season he will end with 22 goal contributions.

To put that into context last season Kevin De Bruyne got 23.

Sounds good. But happy to see him maturing into a good premier league player.

To think he nearly wanted out.

Blimey we’d be stuck with James !

He was portrayed as having a bad attitude for daring to want to go out on loan than play u23s.

He was sick of being held back whilst he could see those in his role in the first team underperforming.

Bielsa had his pecking order and he had had enough.

You just can't believe our bad luck, it's like a curse at ER

To be fair only 2 or 3 here thought he was good enough to play for the first team ...

I was one
Looking back through the comments, it was more than 2 or 3 though.
I stated on the 5th April that he was too good for the U23's but he wasn't getting first team game time because we had Raphinha.
In just a few short weeks he has become one of our most important players.
So infuriating that he has got injured in a friendly.

Me too. It was obvious he was far too good for the u23s from day one. I'm not a fan of players with first team experience playing in that league as it ruins their development, as with Gelhardt. I said I was glad when James left as Jimmy was better than him.

[1964white]

Looks like Jimmy could be out for months, not weeks.

So now we are left with just Rodrigo to score the goals as the rest aren't scoring.

At least Marsch will probably say yes to a few loans. I see Broja got a nasty knee injury for Chelski the other day, so scratch him off the loan list.

So Adams, Jimmy and Sini all out for Citeh. Lord!

With young players a lot of the time it is about grabbing the opportunity when/if you get it. JS wasn't going to be ahead of the likes of Raphinha. This season the injury to Sinisterra has really opened the door and he has taken it.

Also a few months at his age can make a huge difference in being physically ready to make the step up from playing against kids the same age as him to being able to play against men - Joe Gelhardt is an example of a player who because of his more physical appearance is ready earlier to be able to match himself physically but as we have seen with him he is still growing and seems to be getting a few growth related type injuries.

From what I saw of him last year he didn't look anywhere near ready to be a starter but was more suited to coming on as an impact substitute to run at tiring defenders. For me though it will be interesting to see how he does over a longer period, obviously he is flying at the moment but how will he handle the tougher times, that will be a big test of his temperament and character. It may even be that his friendship with Gnonto has been the real cataylst for his career as Gnonto, despite being younger, comes accross as being really professional and focussed and the fact he is younger than JS but already an international might have helped JS focus the right way (rather than for example thinking he is loads better than he is etc).
