URZZZZ Nameless Zip
Not convinced by Azeez. Started the season well but has really lacked composure since.
Got more about him than Clark though.
Other way around for me, Clarke looks extremely raw but looks fairly quick, strong and decent in the air with an eye for goal. Agree with Zip to an extent on Azeez. He’s only 20 so time is on his side, but not quite sure what he’s about, what position he’s best in etc
Then again, I thought Howe looked a decent player when he first burst onto the scene and that didn’t turn out well!
I’d say Azeez is quicker by far than Clarke, he’s big but doesn’t use his size in the air. Azeez works a lot harder, been noticeable in the age group games I’ve seen this season that Clark has tended to be off the pace, if anything I’d say there is more of a question about what sort of player Clark is/thinks he is. He looks like a big No9 but doesn’t play like one. He doesn’t stand out in the age groups as a better player than the rest in the way Danny Loader did.
Azeez is a winger, a raw one, but looks best playing wide in a Meite style. But he can play in the middle too and would give us a different option with is pace. He works harder than Clark but agree that both have a fair way to go before they are the finished article. My concern with Clark is he’s the classic big kid who has looked good because he’s been bigger and stronger than his age group but loses that advantage when he hits men’s football. He may add more to his game, but I’ve not seen it.
