Experienced manager's view on young diamonds in lower leagues

Henry Irving

On Shelvey "He has an outstanding, imaginative mind and fantastic vision. Like Tiger Woods hitting a shot towards the green, Jonjo can play a pass with similar accuracy. He can be looking one way, but be aware of movement on the other side of the pitch and deliver the pass. Watch out for this boy. He’s special."

Athletico Charlton

Knows how to pick a player that Pardew, Christensen, Mcleod, Varney...what an eye he has

Pardew words of wisdom as ever: On the QPR lad.....

"He seems to have found his body"

Must be worth at least £2M then!

Only the one West Ham quote though, so he's getting better!

"I had Michael Carrick at West Ham"

Who cares Alan, you're a t0sser!

Nelsenout

I had to smile at this one. Not a mention of Martic Christensen
