Not sure really. I just think a full season out on loan - injury dependent of course - and if he could get back to where he was before his injury, he could've proved to be a decent player/option.
I do agree on the other hand that a fresh move away from us is probably best for all parties though. Just a shame to see another academy lad moved on. |
Your last line says it all really, as you say, a shame another academy prospect has moved on, but in the cut throat world of professional football if you don't push on then you are surplus to requirements.
What's also interesting is that clearly Keiron has quite a strong voice and if he felt that it would be a silly move to let him go then I'm sure things would be different.
I'm content if Kieron thinks it's best he be moved on. |  |

Realistically, IF we had signed more players already, no one would be upset about any of the players leaving and that includes the Academy players. |  |

I rate him but realistically would he get in our team? I know we've still got work to do but couldn't see him playing regularly here once our team is assembled, would prefer him to be getting regular games! |
When are we going to be able to judge the strength of assembled team? At the present rate of arrivals we are beginning to look as if we have to be reliant on the players retained from last year making good! Seeing names like Nsiala, Nolan and Donacien still listed as “ first team “ does not fill me with much confidence or hope for the future. |  |

Best for both parties. 21 and needs to be playing every single week now. Haven't seen anywhere near enough from him to suggest that it should be here - long injury spell and a very poor season last year.
Hoepfully goes to Cambridge, gets good minutes every week and goes on to have a good career. |  |

Is he any worse than injury prone Jacobs we've been linked with? |
I suspect you probably haven't seen or know much about Michael Jacobs to say that. In regards to this injury prone tag, let's have a look at his appearances since 2015 when he joined Wigan.
15/16 - 38 appearances
16/17 - 46 appearances
17/18 - 50 appearances
18/19 - 22 appearances
19/20 - 33 appearances
20/21 - 21 appearances
A couple of seasons where his appearances have dipped, but overall he's made a good amount of appearances. When you look at stats in League 1 for Wigan aswell, he scored 22 goals and assisted 19 times over 2 seasons in L1 for Wigan.
I think some people have got slightly carried away witht he ownership now and think if we aren't signing Jack Grealish for £100M then it isn't good enough. | |

Wish him luck but it is true that he has missed a lot of football and looked a shadow of his former self last season. I think PC has said he wants a vastly smaller squad and to have a settled team that play most games and seems they want established players who are in their prime and have done it in this league before to get us out ASAP. I guess there is no room for potential at the moment but just have to wait and see what happens. |  | | |

I don't really have an issue with this, I do now believe that we need more seasoned professinals in their prime - not over the hill I might add, but in their prime years.
We've had a lot a of talented footballers come through, but other than Flynn Downes I don't many if any more have really made an impressive succesful transition into first team football.
The physcial side of that transition is the biggest difference, and I often think our academy players are technically sound, but physically a long way away from competiting in mens football every week, Lankester is the perfect example of that. | |

I agree with this and something I mentioned a while back, apart from Simpson, the u23's is full of lighweight fluffy footballers. We need to start seeing some steel coming through. Something though we will need CAT 1 for. | |

It is an issue, in todays football, the phsyicality and intensity of the game is unbelievable, and we have to prepare and develop the academy players accordingly.
I think this has certainly been something that PC has thought about as well, and why he is more than happy to see these 'fluffy footballers' move on, to be replaced by players who he believes can handle the physical demands.
For example, when you look at Rekeem Harper, 6ft 2 midfielder, phycially very powerful, rangey, a good mover, a physical presence, and is still 1 year younger than Andre Dozzell, 3 years younger than Bishop.
I think when PC is looking at the profile of a player he is trying to bring in, 'can he handle the physical demands' will be right at the top of his criteria list. | |
