Yeah, as weird as it seems - like you Farran I though he might be tad older by now too - but when he made the subs bench in a Newcastle league match he was only 17/18 at the time. Hence so many of us getting excited then! Obviously it was quite a bit pre-mature - back then it was late in the season, Newcastle were struggling/going to be relegated (IF I have the right season, IIRC?) and that's a big reason why Inman was elevated soo quickly. The fact he was playing for Scotland U19s back then too, helped stirr the public interest/panic!

The fact though, that Inman hasn't seen any loan moves, not even to League Two, the past season or two - Where others like Herd, Lowry, Luongo and others did/have at his age, is a bit of a concern. Though tb fair, I 'think' he did suffer a long term injury at some point?

He may be still a great talent though, iirc he was one of the young Aussies Abroad called up to Holger's March 2011 extended training camp and he was in the line up that faced 'Gladbach Under 23s, scoring both of Australia's goals. Sounds like he impressed. But no senior football for so long, despite his still relatively young age - he enters in 'A-League youth-esque late start territory!'

BTW On that - Some of us were discussing Wikipedia in relation to the Sydney Derby page there, but Inman's page, or lack of, is reflective of his lack of senior 'league' football at any pro level - Look at all the creations and deletions!

Yeah March 2009 must've been when all the excitement was!

All the action at club level and international for the Aussies abroad http://osaussies.com/sunday-wrap-7/

... Williams, who suffered ankle ligament damage at Gillingham in August, could be back in time for the Capital One Cup quarter-final at Swansea on December 12.

“I think Rhys should be about four weeks,” said Mowbray. “I’m looking forward to having him back. He looks in good fettle. He looks fit, he looks lean.

“Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before we see him with his boots on out on the grass, gradually doing little bits of physical stuff and then little bits of technical stuff and, before we know it, he will be back in the team.

“He’s a huge player for us, largely because of the versatility he will bring to our squad.”

Fed did pretty well last night. Reading's defence was horrendous in the first half and he made a crucial one-on-one save.

I don't think I have ever witnessed a better performance from a defensive midfielder in my 47 years of watching. Did he lose a challenge today at all? Was worried when he picked up the early booking for handball that it would cramp his style a bit .

Cannot stress enough to anyone who wasn't there today and can only watch the highlights - Jedinak is a 90 minute powerhouse. If you play football or enjoy watching the whole game and all the goings on, he is just so impressive. My player of the season so far, just relentless desire and superiority in the air.

Best midfielder in the division by a country mile. Incredible player. Along with Murray he's probably our most influential player. His passing is massively improved, he is fantastic in the air and wins every ball that comes near him.

Will cut it in the top flight, no problem.
