[/quote]Out of form, out of favour, short of match practice, out of his depth at this level even on his stronger side. Wouldn''t want to throw him in unless it was an absolute emergency, in fact I''d rather recall Toffolo if such an option were available in his loan agreement.

nutty nigel 7,533 Posted February 1, 2016 [quote user="norfolkngood"]some player develop late some ( very rare ) get missed nothing wrong signing this boy up if you look at his match reports he is a stand out player in that league is he good enough who knows but we have signed him son if good enough we have saved a lot of money doing it this way[/quote] Agreed. Our academy now has three valuable strings to it''s bow with the youngsers coming through, being able to buy other young talent and now the NCEFDP academy "shadow squad" with Adam Drury. http://communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/files/brochures/elite_football_development_programme_16v2.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number9 272 Posted February 1, 2016 The club / academy is a business, acquiring and developing players.Yes, an outstanding player can be channelled towards the first team, but that''s considered a bonus not an expectation.The academy generates income for the club by way of loan fees and transfer Rees for young players going out to other clubs.

But then why put him in the 25? Don''t be too quick to dismiss players who may yet have a part to play. From what I''ve read on here he''s better than Martin...

[/quote]That''s just my assessment from how alarmingly he seems to have fallen down the pecking order, Eddie. If Alex Neil doesn''t dismiss him and includes him in the 25, that''s fine by me, but I wouldn''t be surprised to see him leave on loan when the loan window reopens.

havemyhowsonit 0 Posted February 1, 2016 Rather have bassong at LB than Whittaker. Bassong played there at Watford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,533 Posted February 1, 2016 I did think Whits may leave in this window. He has one good contract left in his career. Hope he gets a decent club. Alartz.. I believe Russ can put in a shift at lb in an emergency.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havemyhowsonit 0 Posted February 2, 2016 just don''t nutty please. The thought of him at LB will give me nightmares from hell. It''s bad enough me thinking he will start tomorrows game at CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
