ALC Fox Posted 26 February Posted 26 February Popov has been extremely unlucky but showed great promise in his early years here. It would be a shame if we just let him go now he's finding some form somewhere. It may be the National League but we should either be keeping him and loaning him out again or doing a Man City by extending his contract then selling him to help with PSR but inserting a buy-back clause in case he continues to rip it up wherever he ends up next. 2

Rubbersoul Posted 26 February Posted 26 February From the highlights I’ve seen of him Popov definitely has a similar play style to Vardy. Morecambe fans say he runs all game and is a proper nuisance. and before someone tells me off, no I’m not suggesting Popov will be our next Vardy just a comparison on how they play

And I don’t even mean that as a dig at us but he could become a good Championship striker and be good for us or make some money if we did rise above that level again. Vardy of course also struggled as a much weaker academic/club than Popov has played at with us as well as being much later to reach the level Popov is playing at now. It has to be worth keeping him and continuing his development. Even if that was another loan, he’d still only be about 22.

It has to be worth keeping him and continuing his development. Even if that was another loan, he’d still only be about 22. He does have something about him. I think the goals dried up for him and I think that might have been a confidence issue. If I had to guess, I think his unsuccessful loan in league 2 probably gave the lad some self-doubt. I think there’s enough promise in what he’s doing for us to want to see if we can monitor him for a little longer. The club needs to be smart, because if we want players going out on loan sooner, we have to accept that the will likely struggle. You can’t use that loan to assess if they’re good enough. Evan’s for example, shouldn’t suddenly be seen as a dud, the lad is simply a kid in a relegation fight, it was always unlikely he’d be used much
Langston Posted 26 February Posted 26 February We should use the successful loan to get money for Popov in my opinion..

honeybradger Posted 28 February Posted 28 February Not watching the Northampton game but apparently Evans almost set up a goal and wiped a player out in the first 10 minutes. At least he's not going missing.
Rubbersoul Posted 28 February Posted 28 February He’s been booked so might end up coming off but sounds like he’s played well

Rubbersoul Posted 28 February Posted 28 February Played the full 90. Not sure who Jay is Played well then. Will hopefully be ready for us in League One next season 2
Lambert09 Posted 28 February Posted 28 February randomly saw this… guess it’s not going so well for him then 1
