thetramfixer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The few lines in his profile sounds like a player that is a tune to what LJ is trying to instill in our players ... Position Tom is a centre back. He plays in an English modern style whereby the centre back carries the ball out of defence, quite often starting a move. He appears to have no preference as to which side of the centre back two he plays in. Hes versatile enough to cover in either full back position and his forrays forward that have become a common sight of late suggest hed probably be capable of standing in as a central midfielder if need be.

Channel M Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Decent lad Thorpe. Captained United's U21 side to league victory last season. Even played a few games in midfield so is good on the ball. Untested at any kind of first team level but was nominated for their Reserve Team Player of The Year (lost out to Adnan Januzai). Scored a few goals last season too including a belter away against a v.good Spurs side. Marked some good players last season including Adam Morgan, Jonathan Obika, Chuba Akpong etc. I reckon him and Tarky could form a good partnership.
