What a refreshing difference from a young player and also a potential new fan base if things go well.

The thing that stood out for me with those goals was how two footed he was. Obviously a right footed player but some good goals with his left. Hopefully he can score a few goals, but the sceptic in me thinks that no matter how well he does, TP is unlikely to bring him into the fold on a regular basis , despite what Nabi said in the interview

I've watched a few u21 games and have always rated him. Not sure Tony does unfortunately.

I'd love him to come through and be 3rd/4th choice next season.

But at the age of 21 he hasn't got a single game for us under his belt and he can score goals, so is the rest of his game just pure rubbish?

I hope he gets the chance to play for us at some point, if he's honestly good enough.
Whenever things look bad, remember the Port Vale, Grimsby and Walsall days... not so bad now, eh?!

It is a good idea having a link up with a big Indian team. I just hope Nabi hits the ground running in the ISL and is then actually given a chance when he returns in January.

The one thing that may hold him back in England is he doesn't have a stand-out physical property: he's not rapid quick, he's not tall and strong, or got a brilliant leap (from what I've seen). He seems to be quite all-rounded in that sense, but I'm not sure it will help him because of how the English game (and TP especially) favours physicality over skill.

That said, he offers something different to all our current strikers so if we were to keep him and integrate him into the first team I think he'd chip in with a few goals.

Unfortunately while it's great to see them banging goals in and contributing at youth level the chance of them breaking through under managers like pulis are near on zilch.

If they are good enough Pulis will play them. Didn't he play Shotton at Stoke?

So we are waiting for a world beater who avoid the radar of the big clubs before playing them ?, Again all very slim chances.

Having been in Sri lanka over the last fortnight this loan has been quite big news , while its glamorous to be playing with the likes of Carlos I'd sooner have seen him drop lower leagues here and show what he can do.I'm very surprised a lower league club hasn't come in for him after his recovery from injury.

I like the fact that he can finish with either foot, great attribute which is surprisingly lacking with many players.

The other thing which stood out was just how easy he makes it all look, the mark of a very good player.

Technically he is clearly way above the standard at which he was playing in the compilation clip.

Hope the loan move works out for him and also for US in the longer term.
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.

I know what you mean but I would say Saido isn't rapid quick either. Saido has decent pace but no more than that. Not sure how Nabi compares pace-wise.

I used to play football with him years ago. His dad is also a very nice guy which perhaps contributes somewhat to the 'difference' referred to in the title.

Yes it sounds as though he's had a more stable childhood than Saido whose father died when Saido was 3 and of course he moved to this country to escape the troubles in Burundi.

Looks very good in those videos. Two footed and surprisingly strong.

I do question whether he will get the same level of training as he would have got in England and also the same level of Albion oversight. If he had gone to Walsall our back room staff could have gone to games and even had him in our academy. Much harder when he is 8 hours away.

You wonder what the other 20 kids are thinking. If the best of the bunch is foisted off to the middle of nowhere, what chance do they have of playing 1st team for us?

Managers like Pulis?
Apparently he's been offered to a lot of clubs on a domestic loan but after watching him none have shown any interest. As good as we think he is there must be something missing from his game that puts other managers off aswell.

That was the most interesting aspect of the RG interview for me.  Beats me why no one wants him as he looks really dangerous, two shooting feet, strong and also comes across as a good lad in interviews. Every promising lad gets loan deals so why not him?

I know that for a time a couple of years ago, the club stated that they wanted to keep him and work with him with the 1st team squad rather than loan him out. Then of course last year was pretty much a write off due to the ACL injury. I haven't heard RG's interview but yes it seems strange if there hasn't been interest in someone who has skills and knows where the back of the net is.

After attending most reserve games and Birmingham senior cup games last season, I think it's fair to say he'll never make it for the Albion.

He's good at lower league levels but so was o'neil, Alex Jones, Sam Manton. They all bosses the reserves but league 1 is their limit.

We all love a young home product but Nabi ain't that.

Playing in the Indian league on loan sums it up really.

some really good goals, but few celebrations with team mates, is that the norm for U21 footy?

.....but he keeps scoring. Pity he can't have 8 or 10 games in the prem to see how he does, but in this day and age it's difficult to get the opportunity.

I don't think Gary Lineker, Super kev or Jimmy Greaves were technically gifted, but they knew were the goal was and kept going,

by which I mean,  when they missed one, they were straight back in to try again and again.
