Yeah...it's not like he hasn't about 100 games played for us is it. It's all about Barnsley. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 27 August 2017 Share Posted 27 August 2017 2 hours ago, chicagofox said: Well that is what the whole argument for the Matty James supporters is based on. Laughable claim. The argument for James is that the season they played together in the prem James was better than drinkwater. Maybe drinkwater has left him behind and James can't get to that level after all his setbacks, but he's been a good player for us before. Definitely can't pass a sensible judgment after two of the hardest away games any team will have this season (which we never do well in). Yes he got overrun by pogba and matic, but so will a lot of unarguably top players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Championship experience may help us if we do not sort our own issues out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 What position is he playing, creative midfield, winger or both? If he's creative midfield it's madness we loaned him out knowing we're lacking there. If he's a winger then fair enough since Musa and Gray are already clamouring for game time.

Smarter and better football coaches that have seen him in training all pre season surely have better judgment than us?

mozartfox Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 May I suggest that in future all loan-outs are finalised only after the in-comings and injury situations have been accessed, sorted out and completed. Both Chelsea ans ourselves were forced in to dead-line day roulette through what looks like a combination of lack of forward thinking and incompetence.

That was the most bizarre thing about pre season, Shakey gave him zero game time, even after taking him all the way to Hong Kong. He then loaned him out as soon as he could.

One for next season hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlock Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 The game time HB gets in the championship will be invaluable experience. After MK franchise in league one he has made a step to the level above and will,hopefully,be ready to advance further as part of our squad next season. He will be carefully managed and monitored. Whilst it's great to see "one of our own " play with the first team he needs to be ready and able to compete at the top level. As we have seen with Chilwell and Gray that can take time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep blue Posted 13 September 2017 Share Posted 13 September 2017 Is there a call-back option on the loan, or is Barnes there for the whole season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's the whole season and more to do with Leuven being owned by our owners than thoughts about our midfield needs. I sense they want to build a title winning Belgian team; edit:excuse my senior moment - I was thinking of Moore instead of Barnes.

Popular Post Gerard Posted 13 September 2017 Popular Post Share Posted 13 September 2017 Anyone would think we'd loaned out the next teenage Messi. The reality is there are far too many good players here ahead of him at the moment. The lad has had half a season in League One and now will have a full season in the Championship. He's developing just nicely and far more than he would if he was kicking his heels playing here for the U23's and the odd appearance on the first team bench. Next summer will be the right time to assess him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davieG Posted 13 September 2017 Popular Post Share Posted 13 September 2017 Going on loan to a Championship team rather than our U23s suggests to me that the club recognise his ability and level and is a compliment to him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd definitely not progress at the rate he has done stuck in our U23's however frustrating it is that we've not kept him in and around our first team squad this season.
