Would have thought he’d learn more playing 40+ games for a top 6 Championship club, then he might be ready for the PL the season after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts_1010 Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July The amount of right wingers we have seen linked is quite odd. I'm more than happy to have another winger at the club, but surely with Fatawu and Alves there we have cover? Does this mean one will be playing centrally in Cooper's eventual plan? Alves off out on loan? Surely McAteer is off out on loan/permanent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming a top 6 championship club want him. For all we know, Liverpool's options are us or Plymouth...That's if there is even anything in this.

He would. Every successful academy player weve brought through in recent years has been out on loan first.

StriderHiryu Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July 1 hour ago, davieG said: So they nick our best academy prospect and then expect a club like ours to develop their academy prospects. I'm a strong believer in banning PL to PL loans it just encourages the sick 6 to stockpile players. It should be used to help lower league clubs to develop their best prospects so they can best use them or sell them for a bigger fee. In general I agree with you. But this season we have the PSR penalty dangling over us, which makes it likely we get relegated again. In such a situation, loaning players for this season is way less risky than considerable outlays. Ben Doak is a pretty decent player and would be a useful squad addition for the upcoming season. This season is all about survival if we can do it. We establish ourselves again next season if we are still here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonFox Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July 2 hours ago, Scotch said: Ah, so you just want Fatawu to play every single minute of football next season? Like you said, we just spent £14m on a player who will likely get the Lions share of minutes in that position. Convincing a young up and coming loan player is to play second fiddle to that player is easier than convincing one of these permanent, committed players to do it. If getting a young player on loan to sit on the bench means we can spend more on improving the starting 11 permanently somewhere else on the pitch then we should be going for it. Totally agree. Also, wasn’t Fatawu a loaner that fell in love with the club after playing a blinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll always be reasons to loan but if it's a belief you can't just turn that off just to suit a particular situation. I just think it's fundamentally wrong not just the developing of competitors players but using them in games in the same competition you're both in.

Viva Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July 2 hours ago, GingerrrFox said: I’d rather give our own academy players the opportunity to play in the Premier League, rather than improving Liverpool’s for them to benefit in the long run. We either buy him outright or he can go elsewhere and they can be Liverpool’s development team. We need to do whatever we can to stay up this season. If he's better than our own academy players, then I'd rather have him than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 27 July Share Posted 27 July Assuming our first choice front 3 is Fats, Vardy and Mav. Then if we got this lad in for cover for Abdul and we have Reid as cover for Stephy then our second choice frontline would be : Doak - Daka - Deco I mean it's got to be done hasn't it? It definitely does you dickhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could happen with Doak but I’m mainly wanting to just stay up at any cost right now and start some sort of rebuild. Beg, borrow or… no, just those two… to avoid relegation!

Safestandingfox Posted 28 July Share Posted 28 July Talented player, tracked him in the UEFA youth league, best work done on the right wing so wouldn't hinder development/minutes of Alves for example.
