ComeOnYouIrons @ComeOnYouIrons6 23s Lletget has really impressed me, could see him break into the team this season
Full time. Lleget played entire 2nd half and apparently impressed West Ham supporters that were tweeting from the match.
The amount of hand wringing that surrounds Lleget is more than a little ridiculous. He hasn't yet made the leap that we all hope he'll make, but he's also still young. He'll be 22 at the start of this season, and who knows what could happen if he catches the eye in training or injuries thin the ranks. I would give him a few more seasons at WHU before we start beating the funeral drum and going into mourning.
A few more seasons? I've always been a big fan of this kids game since his first games with the u-20s, but the last thing he needs is a few more seasons rotting with the reserves.
Over the past couple years just glancing at some WHU message boards, the reports I've read on reserve team games usually mentions that Lletget deserves a 1st team look. If he were to be stuck in the reserves again, WHU would have to use one of their three overage spots on him in the U21 league.
Does anyone remember that Lletget played in a league cup game where WHU got stomped (by Man City I think?) and he was pretty much the only decent player on his side for the game? I think they lost 5-1 but it was on BeIn sports and I though he looked pretty decent considering the circumstances. There was a bit of a controversy surrounding the game because Big Sam capitulated before the game started by fielding an almost entirely reserve team due to fixture congestion and injuries.
yep, he played pretty good, but damn did Lichaj look 10 times better in that game for Forrest. But i digress....
Our one hope is that Sam has been "mandated" by ownership via fan pressure to become more entertaining.
