Martinez : "Allen kommer att spela i the Premiership"
Joe Allen har verkligen slagit igenom denna säsong och större klubbar så som Tottenham och Reading sägs vara ute efter 17-åringens namnteckning. Swansea skrev nyligen ett treårskontrakt med A-laget så om någon övergång blir aktuell kan klubben räkna med mycket pengar för superlöftet. Allen har hela tiden stått för enastående insatser vid sina framträdanden som mest varit cupmatcher. Manager Martinez uttalar sig om den offensiva mittfältaren som trivs bäst i mitten och till höger. Här berättar han om möjligheter för spel ikväll och annat:
"Ferrie (Bodde , reds. anm.) is suspended, but it's a fantastic opportunity for someone else to come in and show what he can do. Joe Allen could start because I know he is ready for that challenge. He is only young, but we have given him chances already because I know one day he will play in the Premiership."
"His age is only significant in the sense that you shouldn't expect young players to play professional football week in, week out because that could burn them out. We have to be careful because Joe is only 17, but he does not play like a 17-year-old. You see every day in training whether a player is ready or not, and that's why we have played Joe already. He does a very similar job on the pitch to Ferrie, but there are many ways you can play and different formations you can use."
Vi får hoppas att spelet i the Premiership blir med Swansea om några år!
