I'm not sure you can have a cookie-cutter approach to this. Players we have sent out on loan haven't set the world on fire whilst Wan Bissaka and Mitchell, for example, were always at the club

Hopefully, we can progress as a team next year so that we are not worried about relegation; can concentrate more on the cups; and get into Europe. That will offer more opportunities for young, fringe players

i presume your literary standard is the Beano,

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

The 2-2 at Highbury which didn't exactly flatter us featured Ayew Tekkers Edouard! I know he's been in and out of the side but personally think Edouard has been a great signing.

I'll give you your dues Lanzo, you are like a dog with a bone, whether it be Tekkers or JRS you just won't let go.

It doesnt work like that, you need to be good enough, JRS obviously isnt good enough yet. There are hundreds of apprentices that show much promise, but cant develop enough to be Premiership ready and fall away into the lower leagues.
PV has a wealth of experience and has worked with M Citys youth teams. He sees the player in training and has his own opinion, with respect more informed, than yours.

Yeah the difference there is Tekkers vs Mateta. Instantly more threatening. But let's not go there...Lanzo's blood pressure will go through the roof.
