Dutch McLovin Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Send him on loan to the type of club we want him to be at (a footballing club not a hoof ball type) as high as possible for 6 months.... if he performs and scores bring him back and play him from January.

flo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 He will definitely be given a chance this season. If he does well he will play more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Give him time in pre season friendlies to see his development and what needs developing. Send him to a league two club until January - preferably Chesterfield where it's local and we can an eye on his development. See how he goes and if he's doing well then look to send him to league one for rest of the season and challenge his development. Bearing that a full pre season with us, cup games and u23's again. Prefer the first option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 This is a catch 22 situation, apparently he isn't yet good enough, so not yet ready for first team selection, so if he continues as he is he will never be ready. The only option is to get him out on loan with an instant call back clause, I favour Chesterfield, it would only take him circa 20 minutes to get there from the family home, and SWFC could keep an eye on his progress.

I'd prefer somewhere a little less bonkers personally. mk dons would be a good option, it needs to be good enough to keep the quality up, but also be a club that plays younger players. Don't need him being dropped in any basket cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 4 hours ago, thewookieisdown said: No one is arguing he shouldn't be in the first team because he's too young. The argument is that he's not good enough. Not now; not at this stage of his devolopment. Were he to play in the champtionship now, he would struggle for lack of physical strength. It is not the fact that he is young; it is another fact about him, which is explained by his youth. As Basil Fawlty said, it's not a proposition from Wittgenstein, and it's slightly alarming that this point seems difficult to grasp. In due course, and perhaps before long, he will become good enough. It may very well be that at today's prices in four years' time he'll be a £50m+ striker. I think there's real prospects of that. But none of that is relevant to today. Plussing for the Wittgenstein reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Isnt he on the final year of his contract so sending him out on loan would be pointless unless we had a call back clause (if that's even possible now).? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a sensible way to form an opinion. Or, we can trust the opinion of the professional coaches with years of training and experience that work with him regularly and see him 4/5 times a week. Man that StudentOwl and his craaazzzzyyy suggestions... You still on the whacky baccy lad ??? Hand it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he say he wanted to buy 2 centre backs? So that's 4, 5 if you include Hutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 He needs a full season out on loan, he isn't ready for our first team but would benefit from competitive football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it would be good to see him get some good and time this preseason and maybe starting a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Pre - season we need to get the team, shape and system right for top 2. No experiments. Hirsty for a season's loan and new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Definitely get the lad out on loan until the new year. See how he's progressing, extend his loan if necessary and take it from there. I've said he's not ready yet but sometimes forwards can just click and start finding the net. I think it took his Dad a while to really establish himself at Hillsborough even after his initial breakthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 More physicality required to cope with that side of the game. Had it not been for a lack of physical presence, I'd say he's ready. He knows how to score goals so 75% there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
