Who would you compare him with then?
---------------------

Steve McMahon.

did chirivella play?

Yeah. Didn't have much to do.

Rossiter is an exceptional talent for his age. In that u21 game he's basically 5 YEARS younger than others are. His in game intelligence and technique is excellent. Has plenty of stamina too.

Vs wolves he was playing midfield and came deep even as a sweeper behind defence to pick up the ball, but then was also slaloming past the opposition midfield to clip one in with his weaker foot from outside the area.

Needs to keep his head down, and I think he will. When he was on the bench for the first team after the match he had to stand and watch his more illustrious team mates drive home in their fancy cars.

Jordan Rossitor had to wait in the car park for his dad to pick him up in the family Yaris!

In all these comparisons, McMahon is a good shout, no one mentioning Gerrard? Gerrard is obviously who he models himself on.

I want to mention Gerrard but, as with with Souness, Rossiter does not have that thunderous shot.

McMahon could hit the ball too, Lussey can dig a bit from what I've seen he could come good for us.

Very impressed at how the Academy is being run in terms of identifying the younger player who can bridge the gap. It's almost an embarrassment of riches we have.

I have been an advocate of some signings for the here and now but there is no denying it can inhibit the players coming through.

BR, Inglethrorpe and Critchley have it just about spot on.

Ibe, Rossiter, Dunn, McLaughlin, are the next ones to follow on from Flanagan and Sterling.

I wouldn't want rossiter learning defensive qualities off gerrard.

when chirivella plays I expect he would be boxtobox next to him

rossiter that is

Love those Hispanic boys don't you!

I doubt it anyway. Brannagan is well ahead of him at the moment and him and Rossiter work well together at this stage. On top of that Chirivella is not a box to box player and I think made his debut for the U21's last night so not sure when you have seen him.
