Seemingly no where near the 1st team, I thought I'd do a quick Google on him He has a Ltd company set up as his name on companies house? Is this normal, is this just modern football? Or are his family expecting a lot from his name and brand [Post edited 6 Sep 7:50]

That's a good point, so annoying getting knocked out of the cup so early on |  | |  |

I gather than image rights get paid there and can be offered as longer term security by paying the player out for many years after playing as an annual stipend, after monthly paycheques stop coming. |  | |  |

Possible he could go to the National League before that. |  | |  |

Do you think so? From what I've seen he looks too good to start there. |  |

We've had a longstanding addiction to being terrible in Cup competitions over the last couple of decades. We've also had an inability to bring youngsters through to become successful members of the first team. It's conceivable that there's at least some element of causation linking those two. But then, advocating a change in approach to Cup competitions seems to be the wrong priority whilst we're 20th in the league. |  | |  |

Its ok. By the time the next cup competition comes around for us we'll be top. And we can go out to Yeovil. |  |

I think they'll look to get him out on loan as soon as possible and that's the only place he can go at the moment. If you look at other players, that is the path they've taken recently, Barbrook and Mazionis last season. |  | |  |

Ah, I see. To get him out now rather than in Jan. Makes perfect sense. Do you think Boniface too? |  |

We are presumably playing more quality opposition at U21 level. |  |

Perhaps, but I think senior football at that level would be viewed as beneficial. |  | |  |
