What a classy guy. So proud it's our club that's really seen him for the talent he is. | | | |

Slightly confused as to how so many clubs missed spotting it. | | | |

The bit that stands out to me is that scouts could always see the talent but academy coaches saw him as a luxury.
I'll hazard a guess that the key is in having a youth coach that understands that rough diamonds need careful polishing, knows how to do that, and is willing to put in the effort to bring it out rather than just churn out standard issue players who can do the basics.
TBF the fact that he acknowledges that by the time he got a trial with us he knew he was looking at working in Tesco if he didn't make it may have sharpened his attitude a bit.
I couldn't coach a potato to stay in the ground - maybe some of the coaches on here could comment? | | | |

Maybe because he wasn't THIS good when he was an academy player ?? He has honed his craft these past 3 years under Wild Thing, Paul Hall/Andy Impey and Mark Warburton. | | | |

Thanks for sharing, this is a great read. I absolutely love this kid and how wise beyond his years that he is. Very humble and down to earth, I wish him all the best! | | | |

If sheff Utd are interested i hope we ask for 30 million considering they got freeman for virtually nothing | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Yes that is a fair point, however, as soon as he first broke into the first team it was noticeable he had bags of ability and natural talent.
He has improved a lot in that time but there was always something about him that most QPR fans could see, and professionals should have definitely spotted that before our recruitment did, not that I'm complaining of course! | | | |

- would the club/agent be setting these sorts of interviews up to bolster further interest (with a view to sell)?
- Author couldn't resist a dig at us in the training ground remark.
- no mention of Holloway's input.
- Neil Harris is rigid. | | | |

youth football in this country is appallingly badly run. nepotism is rife, vultures waiting to pick off the easily led and of course its all geared towards the big clubs.
this book is thoroughly depressing in many ways, but goes through it in some detail (QPR and Chris Ramsey come out of it reasonably well though)

I never saw Marsh play for Rangers.
I saw Bowles
I saw Currie
I saw Stainrod
I saw Byrne
I saw Wegerle
I saw Taarabt
Eze sits comfortably with all these QPR No. 10's in my book. And boy, does he have the swagger and ability to beat a player like Stan did. That's how much I rate the lad. Good luck to him wherever his career takes him. A real QPR no. 10. | |

- An interview in the Independent is going to alert anyone. Everyone already knows all they need to know about hi,
- It's not a dig. It is a makeshift training ground.
- Well, he actually only played 16 games under Holloway.
- Yes. | | | |

Lovely interview with a superb young player.
I still cling to the forlorn hope that he'll go to Spurs for £20M and be loaned back to us until May as part of the deal..to guarantee him 20+ games. | | | |

They're where his power lies. That's why he's been getting better and better the longer his hair has grown. | | | |

So instead of fouling him, why don't the opposition just send a player out with a pair of scissors then? | | | |
| Eze interview in the indie on 15:26 - Jan 9 with 3003 views | Match82 |
A long-held fear instilled by their mothers that it is dangerous to run with scissors | | | |
| Eze interview in the indie on 15:29 - Jan 9 with 2982 views | LongsufferingR |
They don't have to run. Just stand behind him at a corner. | | | |

Except in such cases as may be prescribed, scissors are not permitted to enter the football pitch whilst the game is in play and the home side are playing in a free flowing style that has the crowd making joyous noises. | |

While there may be a few, there aren't many unspotted youngsters out there these days. Clubs scout everywhere, and youngsters with any potential are known of by the "industry".
Where Rangers are currently fortunate (after years of cocking things up) is in having the likes of Paul Hall, Chris Ramsey and Sir Les, giving youngsters the opportunity, coaching and support to grow.
I suppose you have to also say that of major importance to that, is our board giving support to that strategy.
Having had the opportunity to chat with Ebs, have to say he really is a very well mannered young man, like many of his peers. Perhaps that is something else that Paul Hall, Chris Ramsey etc imbue in our youngsters, or is that something that they look for? | | | |

I keep thinking of an interview with David Winner (author of Brilliant Orange) on Off the Ball a few years ago. Winner was saying that towards the end of his life Cruyff became disillusioned with the very system he had helped create at Ajax and Barcelona:
'Explaining the new system, and how it betters the previous system, Winner says: "They’ve torn up the old system based education idea — which is that everybody plays 4-3-3 and everybody learns their position and everybody’s tactically and technically drilled — and the new system is to emphasise individuality and creativity.
[It is] intensive tuition by the best football minds in Holland.
The whole idea is to develop extremely original, gifted individuals.
Systems come later — they think that’s the thing everybody’s going to be copying a decade from now.'

So I wonder if Eze was a victim of the old system where the emphasis was on skill (one touch football etc) and team patterns, but not on individuality. | |
