• Delete, this player has not yet played for the first team; he has therefore not played for a team in a fully professional league, and is not notable. Robotforaday (talk) 22:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - as per all the arguments above. Standard application of WP:BIO when it comes to footballers. - fchd (talk) 09:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - is a current first-team squad member at a large Premier League club. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 13:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - He is in the first team squad of a large Premier League club and has been in the general squad for a Champions League club. Exception to the rule if you ask me. Woody (talk) 18:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It says in the article that while he travelled with the team to the game, he was not a member of the matchday squad. The fact that he is at a "large" Premier League club seems to make it less likely that he'll actually make a competitive appearance in the foreseeable future. In fact, he's not listed as a member of either the first team or reserve squads at www.manutd.com, just in the Academy section. - fchd (talk) 18:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, yet to make professional debut, when/if he does then the article can be recreated. King of the NorthEast 20:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - He is a first team squad member at Man Utd, and has been given a squad number for the 2007-08 season. He was even included in the club's squad for a UEFA Champions League game, the largest club tournament in Europe, and probably the most prestigious in the world. – PeeJay 18:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
