[Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

[Mancgull]

Fantastic player. Best performance so far and a real threat going forwards.
Takes the pressure off getting a RB in this window.
Moment of the game for me was seeing him pushing Facundo to get back when West Ham were breaking on us. Jack ran past him and got back.
He has huge energy.

Superb! Love seeing the confidence of these youngsters grow. Comparisons to Gross are obvious but he is seventeen (17) years younger.

14?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

It's just so fantastic to see, completely agree with all of this!

You could see a world where, with a large helping of good luck, he becomes the next Dunk (long serving club legend that is, not imperious centre back)

And skipper

Gross isn't THAT old!

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Agree with all comments, he has been immense, polish off his heading and decision making, and goals will come too.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Just imagine if we had Solly fit. Hinsh and Sol would absolutely boss the right side of the pitch. Both so hard working

Re: heading - he’s got a great leap on him. Has won some headers I really wouldn’t expect him to.

I just love watching him. Some young players you watch, you just know they have ‘it’ and he definitely has. I’m not trying to put too much pressure on him but he really reminds me of a young Steven Gerrard.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

It’s quite bizarre to think that when James Milner made his loan debut for Swindon the opposing right back was Adam Hinshelwood and it was nearly 2 years before Jack was born.

Today Milner went joint second on the all time PL appearance list, 66 of those games were before Jack was born.

Ah shit, I thought he was 35 !

And yet RdZ has been taken by surprise. Even he didn't see these levels coming.

 

[Right Back]

He is such a goal threat arriving late at the back post. Has already scored 2 and very close to a few more.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Milner must love the zillions of stats that all amount to: “One of your colleagues is young. You, however, are old”

No one more surprised than Dwayne!

To be fair, no one could have seen this. You just never know for sure how kids will take to the pressure of first team senior football.

Most 18/19 olds at PL clubs are of a similar ability but it’s mentality that usually makes the difference for the ones who do go on.

 

[Littlemo]

He is turning into an excellent player but we have to keep our expectations for him in check. We’ve seen with Ferguson that for young players, development isn’t linear and sometimes they’ll have difficult patches.

 

[Whitechapel]

Agree with all comments, he has been immense, polish off his heading and decision making, and goals will come too.

He’s got 2 goals in just over 600 minutes from full back and we’re talking about adding goals as the nest step in his game!

ffs he’s unreal.

 

[Zeberdi]

Great performance Jack - MOTM indeed - such an exciting breakout - multi-positional and will certainly be wasted in just as a RB - Gross’s understudy for sure - a wide attacking midfielder imo.

Can’t believe our teenage kicks at the moment

Also if Hinshelwood continues to improve at the current rate, I can see him becoming a better player than his dad.

 

[A1X]

Give him as long a term contract as we can

 

[Hugo Rune]

Give him as long a term contract as we can

Thinking about our central midfielders for next season……..Hinshelwood must be there with Gilmour & Groß. He has done that well.

But Dahoud and Moder still have a bit to do. Lallana and Milner might retire and Baleba needs a lot of game time but can we afford to give him it?
