Couple times he did well to win the ball and bring it forward.

 

[JSNFRMN]

Heard he's a bit like Tunnicliffe except he's a lot smaller.

 

[se7en]

Have'nt seen enough of him to make that claim

 

[JSNFRMN]

Bit of a livewire. Was impressed by him.

Weir was a late call up to England's under 18's squad for their 2-0 friendly win against Italy. Came on in the 2nd half and looks like he did well judging by this video. Grimshaw played the whole game also.

Been quietly impressed by Weir this season. He's technically sound and an intelligent young footballer.

 

[JSNFRMN]

Yeah he's doing very well.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Weir has been named in England's U18s squad to face Belgium's U18.

Weir has been offered a professional contract.

Expected or surprised?

 

[boothstownred]

A year ago i would have been surprised but I think he has has a really good year.

 

[JSNFRMN]

Had a very good season. Can't remember seeing much of him last season, bit like Michael Keane a few years back who didn't look up to much one season and then over the summer he shot up and has improved greatly since.
