FuchingKante Posted 16 August 2017 Posted 16 August 2017 100% rather have Barnes on the bench over King who literally has no impact every time he plays
Foxy-Lady Posted 16 August 2017 Posted 16 August 2017 7 hours ago, RumbleFox said: Genuine question, apart from Kante, who have we sold in the last ten years that came back to bite us in the ass? Which of our many world class youngsters that we moved on would you want back? I ask this because there must be empirical evidence that selling youngsters is always a bad idea in order for people to react to a 19 year old going on load quite so oddly? Which world class youngsters has our devlopment structure ever actually produced? The key issue for me here is not how many we sell BUT rather how few we actually produce.........and WHY are we failing to produce young talent good enough to play in the first team (Ndidi, Gray, Amartey were all brought)

Ric Flair Posted 16 August 2017 Posted 16 August 2017 My biggest gripe is Lawrence told Leicester he wanted to leave at the start of pre-season yet we gave him a number of opportunities in friendlies that Barnes could have got and then we could have made a decision on loaning him. There's a big difference in training and producing something in competitive games, albeit in friendlies. It was the perfect t opportunity to let him have a go with our first team, like many clubs have done this pre-season with a number of players now being earmarked for the step up such as Nelson at Arsenal and that lad at Man City. If we can't even give him a few friendlies given how much he's progressed in the last year when Lawrence and Musa his direct competition were always going to move on then we might as well not even bother with the academy to first team transition.

People like you irk me. I think everyone knew who I was referring to. 1

Read the quote I was responding to. The key is 'Jury out'. Also, if you are going to police the relevance of every response to everything written on FT, good luck Pal but you will need to give up your day job. 1

mozartfox Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 Not getting many minutes on the pitch at Barnsley.

His fitness may not be at the same level just yet. Or he may have a little niggling injury. Or they having seen him don't think he's the player some of our fans do.
st albans fox Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 Yesterday's south yorks Derby was a bit feisty and the sending offs may have changed their intention of giving him some proper minutes second half.
Guest Papasmurf Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 Playing week in week out for them will be far more beneficial to his development than sat on the bench here.

dannythefox Posted 20 August 2017 Posted 20 August 2017 So what it's a good experience for him and it's better than playing 23s. He'll get game time over the season.
