dmayne7 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Nervous for him. Worried things might not work out for him and then it's a missed opportunity. From what I've seen, he's got a genuine talent so that should mean he'll do well. Hope there's a recall clause too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So going on that assumption then, Elliot Moore, Callum Elder, Layton Ndukwu and Darnell Johnson are obviously closer to being ready, and must have been shit hot in training, as they all got some pre season game time with the first team!

Erm no.... It's pretty obvious why they got minutes in the games they did. Barnes going to HK with the 1st team shows he is more well thought of than the others.

fuchsntf Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Good idea, at this stage, gives him top game time....Its just I dont agree with full season loans, just a personal opinion.Loan him until January, extend if thought valid, but we should motivate, with showing 1st team chance possibilities....If we are having a stable season, from febuary with bench and 1st team gametime, we can assess in good time if he can make the breakthrough and save pennies in the summer transfer market. Same with Lawrence, this season imo, he must see 1st team gametime, or move him on. unless he himself wants to fight for a place, giving him a season to start to stamp his potential has a top 14 player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of character building for him tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frany104 Posted 12 August 2017 Share Posted 12 August 2017 Good move for the lad. Hope he continues to impress and can force his way into our first 11 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 12 August 2017 Share Posted 12 August 2017 It's good for the Lad and will help him develop his game further. I just wonder why we thought he was good enough for Champions league and yet not good enough for this seasons Squad. It just seems a little strange.

Bit misleading he came on as a sub 6-1 down in a dead rubber at Porto, he didn't start vs Atletico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true, But my point is still the same, How did we think he was good enough in a big game, and yet not give him another chance to prove it. It just seems a bit bizarre to me. I hope he does well at Barnsley and comes back a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously the management have decided he'll develop better playing week in week out rather than the odd appearance, so hopefully he keeps improving and can make an impact for us next year.

I actually think hunk it was probably a toss up between Lawrence and Barnes as to who would stay and who would go out on loan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your missing my point. He would be better of training with our first team and understanding what we are about instead of playing a bit part in a relegation campaign for Barnsley.. Other EPL teams have 19 year olds in their squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achieving success, be it staving off relegation with an underdog or creeping into the playoffs and punching above your weight, but doing so having contributed, is probably better than playing u23 football or the occasional bench warming or cup match with us. Sure training with the team might be great but 1st team is needed if he's to grow as a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 It comes down to minutes on the pitch in competitive football. He'll get more of that on loan, so it works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 I thought u23' played 90 minutes? Look this is just my opinion. It appears this young man has something 'special' and I personally believe we should have kept him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
