If they go, get experience of proper league football, impress and we get some sort of fee or he becomes part of our squad then that can only be a good a thing, rather than playing in the limited u23s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I’d get rid of the u23 team like other clubs have done. At that age you need to be playing 1st team games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) The restrictions of the transfer window don't apply in regards loaning players into the non league. They can get proper football or stay with the kids tapping it about the practise pitch. It's a no brainer. Well done Wednesday Edited September 17, 2021 by Lord Snooty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Gregory was in non league until his 20s as well I think. Another example being Grant Holt even if it didn't work out with us still played in PL with Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
