Jayden Danns Player Thread (F)

Think the lad deserves to come on as a sub in preference to Gakpo, just at the moment. I really like this kids' eye for a goal.

Just scored a back heel at old Trafford

Watched the game, it was a very impressive all round display from all the lads. Very enjoyable game and a decent turn out for an u21 game, must've been 7000-8000 in there.

His footwork and balance for a big man is incredible, check him out in the build up to the first....little zip zag round the defender, then forces the keeper to parry the ball straight to Kone Doherty who then slots away the rebound.

I don't like player comparisons but he reminds me a lot of Kane whenever I watch him.

F***ing hell I thought he should of been on the bench  for at least eitherbone of the cup game or the league game. Was worth possibly a punt instead of Gakpo last week.

If a ball dropped in the box id take danns over nunez all day for it to drop to. But yes i agree. Hes shown enough to be one of the subs for sure.

That’s some goal by the kid last night , if you need your mood lifting take a peek at it shades of one Bobby Firminho in that
When I opened this thread none of the other comments came up , was thinking where the fck are people too ,  posted this then they all appeared strange that

Bring him back to the first team.
Just inject that spark into the squad again.

Bit surprised we haven't brought him in in recent games with the form of the main guys, and at this stage can't really see Jürgen doing it. But guess never know.

We have 5 forwards fit plus Elliot


Danns has played around 17 mins of Prem football and just one start in the cup.


Got to be careful with the young players to not pile too much onto them

We have fit forwards - who unfortunately can't hit a barn door. And the kid looks like he can finish.

Could he do worse then the others?? Throw him in against Fulham, Id have every faith in him

Yep get him in there, let him show the oldies how to stick it in the back of the net!

Hope hes involved tomorrow and the rest of the games, goals in him.

Hope he gets a crack at the game tonight

Must be fuming sat watching that dross up front, don't care that he's a youngster, I'd take him over all three of those wasters recently.

New boss fancies giving youth players a chance. I guess we’ll see.

Danns is a young talent who did well in a very short period in a cup game but still very much far from proven - wouldnt take much for people to turn on him if he misses chances

Kinda agree with JK post match on this 1, wasn’t the right game for a 18 yr old, would’ve got nothing out of those CB’s.

With that said and with the season being over, love to see him start West Ham.

Start him the rest the way out and see what he’s got.

Let's see what this lad can do now. I have absolutely no doubt if he found himself in Nunez position in that match the last thing on the planet he would have done is shut his eyes and cowardly tw*t it as hard as he could and hope for the best.

Any striker on the books in fact should be placed ahead of Nunez until the penny finally drops with that idiot that this is not how you finish chances even when inevitably one or 2 fly in.

Not asking for Danns to get 4 hatricks from here on in. I'm just looking for a striker who at least gets the basics of finishing chances and shows signs of doing the right thing.

Once again I am asking for Jayden Danns playing time.
