As I said, have you seen him at all? He is 6" 1 and 13 stone and likens himself to "other big men" like John Hartson or Chris Sutton.
Sounds "slight" to you" ???
Anyway, back to Stokes. Supposedly did well against Hibs although did miss a great one on one with the keeper.
great to see him and falkirk doing well considering the mini irish army they are building up there. great win for them and we will all get first live sight of stokes in a falkirk shirt next week when they take on celtic! should be interesting.......if the ball ever gets up to him!
Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that one, would be brilliant if he could bag one against real quality opposition!Quote:

Apparently he excelled today, not only getting a hat-trick but also 2 assists
...not a chance with the likes of Alan O'Brien getting on the pitch :eek:
He is not ready yet. Way behind Doyle and Keane. Scoring goals in second tier of SPL is a long way from international level.Quote:

And so what if hes playing in the SPL!:mad:
He's only 18... Sure leave him in the 21s til he's needed. At this stage he's not gonna offer too much more than what we have available.
I'm sure we can all agree that at the very least, it's very encouraging.
It's one thing scoring a hat trick against Dundee Utd if you're in a team that, man for man, is better, like Nakamura's hat trick for Celtic, but Falkirk are hardly in that bracket.
Hopefully Cregg & O'Donnell will get more attention too.
What do you mean by second tier?Quote:

There is a good write up on Stokes (9/10) in the ST.

pointed out in that article, the author doesn't believe stokes has what it takes to cut it at Arsenal.
Maybe it's a case of Aresnal having shuch an array of talented young strikers coming through rather than him not being a very good player.Quote:
