Swindon fan here (as my well-thought-up username suggests). Louis Thompson is a fantastic midfielder who, at the age of 19, is one of the first names on the team sheet at Swindon – a club whose midfield is by far its strongest position. Just a great all round box-to-box midfielder who can score goals and get stuck in. I’ve been watching the Town for 30 years and I can honestly say he’s the best young midfielder I’ve seen play for us in that time. I’ve no doubt he could do a job in the Championship right now but I’m glad he’s coming back on loan for the rest of the season. Even if you go up to the Premier League I have no doubt he’ll be in and around the first team within a couple of years. His older brother Nathan also plays for Swindon as a right back/centre back and is rumoured to be being chased by several clubs higher up the pyramid than we are. They both came up through the youth ranks at the club so it’s quite sad to see them separated but I’m glad to see them getting the recognition they deserve.
