Lets not get carried away and give a player with about 40 minutes competitive football under his belt a 5 year contract.

On anything like the paltry money he is probably on, I wouldn't mind. If his agent had billy big bollocks ideas, which is fairly likely, that's a different story and I'd agree with you.

Bet he is on less than 1k per week at the mo, probably something like 600, 700.

Scintillating again tonight. Beginning to relax the guard I put over my early optimism, because the boy definitely has talent and can show it against decent senior players. We will have to see how capable he proves as a 90 minute player over time, but I've not seen that kind of footwork here in a while, and he has pace and tenacity to go with it. With him only being 18 as well, I just get more amazed that Preston let him go each time I see him.

Would be a nightmare to play against because he can have you chasing your tail and looking daft. Looks like a player for who the crux is going to be how much end product he can deliver - like Rothwell. But my money is on 'a lot more of it'.

[Feed the Yak]

Agreed, another very positive performance from the young lad. Got to keep playing him now. What a bonus this looks to be as a signing, very excited to see what he can do. Shame for him that he doesn't get to do it in front of a a crowd but maybe that is ideal for him at this moment in time. 

[Mattyblue]

Get him on a real contract ASAP...

[yellowsubmarine]

Did he do 2 Cruyff-turns in 2 seconds before laying the ball to Holtby? Thats how quick he is.

[Madon]

This lad is seriously good. I imagine there will be bigger clubs than us already well aware of him after his few appearances. 

We need to quadruple his wages and give him a 5 year contract quick time. 

[JacknOry]

Amazing that he has jumped straight into the first team fold. He must be delighted with how things have gone so far for him here. Such quick feet and great workrate, perhaps needs to work on decision making and get more of an end product but surely that will come. So close to an assist above too.

You'd think they'd have been aware of him when he was playing for PNE. I think they got him from Man City after he was released? Looks to be a rare talent. They need to get him on a proper contract and get him adjusted to 1st team football without putting pressure on him.

[JacknOry]

Some players just adapt to mens football straight away. You just have to keep sticking in him and let him enjoy himself - could have a real gem here.

I said that to the wife as I stood before her naked and proud. She just laughed.

[Madon]

Dack and Dolan on the same team are going to be a joy to watch! 

I really hope he keeps his place for the Wycombe game, he definitely deserves too!

[Tom]

He’s gifted with that low centre of gravity and can turn in a flash, real natural ability and a bit of swagger to go with it 

[Boz]

He played a few games for Clitheroe last season, apparently had a fantastic match away at Droylsden.

[Tom]

Another couple of positives for me:

Love in his interviews that he took the knock from Preston and channeled it to believe in himself more and spur him on!

Also Mowbray so far deserves huge credit for giving him a go, it would have been an easy out for him to use him losing possession on Saturday as a sign he’s not ready but he’s kept him in there 

[arbitro]

He has so much that you just can't coach but it can be coached out of him. Hopefully Mowbray and his staff focus on these rather than stifling them.

[roversfan99]

Definitely a player of real promise, flair, skills, pace, very exciting from the very little that we have seen.

Still think talk of 5 year deals, quadrupling his wages, its all a bit premature though.

Blimey, in his highlights video from last night it’s like watching a young Ronaldo.

Who was saying quadruple his wages?

Edit - nevermind, seen it. I'd say that depends what his wages are. Definitely already feeling uncomfortable that he is only on a 2 year deal. And if he keeps playing like this or hell, improves, and has a real impact over the season then it will take a lot more than quadrupling his wages at the negotiating table in a year.

Gosh, look at that Brereton bloke NOT laying a ball across the 6 yard box. What a waste.

As for Dolan, I think people need to calm down about him. Exciting player for sure (and it's hilarious Preston let him go), but he's 18. He needs to be handled carefully.

I'd have him as a substitute at the moment - someone you bring on against tired legs on 60/70 minutes to increase his impact. If the guys in front of him struggle, and he's a success as a substitute then he gets more game time.

Thought that didn’t want to say it on here though ? 

[JacknOry]

Fair to say that this is really winding Preston fans up. Half are moaning that they have lost the guy for nothing while the other half are defending the club and saying it says more about our squad if Dolan is getting minutes/starts.

Hilarious to read

Love how they expect him to have the end product of Messi at just 18 years of age and having made one senior start in his career to date.

I think Preston fans in general are generally unhappy with no signings and  their best players courting interest from elsewhere with a year left on their deals.

Ultimately we dont yet know if he has end product. It is far too early for either set of fans to be going too over the top, nothing more than a few bright cameos at the moment, glad weve taken him as he looks a raw talent who can hopefully develop but I think that the overall reaction is intensified because of where he came from.

Oh, most definitely! When I've spoken to a couple of Nobbers recently I've basically told them that they've handed us the lovechild of Lionel Messi & Christiano Ronaldo for free!

What I tell myself is that it looks like we have a lad here with a lot of potential.
