Not sure I agree with your point on the CB front - we have signed good prem loans who did not arrive as guaranteed starters - e.g. Van Heck, James Hill etc. -
Bbrovers2288 started following Harold Varner 111

For those interested in golf, there is a YouTube video of jimmy bullard playing with pro golfer Harold Varner 111, and in it Bullard asks Varner about why he supports us. Varner talks about going to a training camp and watching Ryan hedges of all people make a crunching tackle and was taken by that. He also talks about weimanns goal v Burnley. Worth a watch

What calibre of loan are you going to get if they're not guaranteed much playing time? A CB, unless he's the next Ferdinand, isn't going to play. Same for a ST. RW is the only real open spot for a talented loanee. -

Ohashi would also be an option in the ten role, but it pushes the shortage to the striker position, although at least Gueye is a senior player and -

The way I look at it is - if heโs good enough heโll get in, if he isnโt he wonโt. We canโt be playing somebody who isnโt ready just in case he might sod off to the Premiership at some unknown time in the future. -

Agreed, I suspect to start with he'll be coming off the bench for Cantwell, playing in behind the striker. He might start the early cup games. Got to see how it goes with him but needless to say, if he's not even getting off the bench regularly at the very least, he'll probably be off to Arsenal at the first opportunity -
Not sure where Usyk goes from here - he's beaten all the best competitors - twice and easily, and he would do it again. Itauma is promising but too raw to be put in with him yet. Kabayel is levels below. Wilder is done. Chisora pointless. Parker maybe, but I don't see anything other than an easy night for Usyk that ultimately proves nothing. As much as I enjoy watching him - he's one of the GOATs for me - he should retire with his faculties and legacy intact.

Why arenโt they then ? I remember Johnny Byrom scoring hat tricks in the old First Division at a similar age but the game has moved on a lot since then. -

You manage his minutes if he looks like he's struggling. Should be able to play every day at that age. -

The first time I saw Wharton play I thought- wow, this kid is special. The first time I saw Tyjon play I thought - mm, he could turn out to be decent. -

If you dont play him, you'll never know! Agree with other posters, if you're good enough you're old enough. I think his is a different argument to the one about any old academy player being put in for the sake of it to get the minutes up. -

Not many 17 year old kids are physically ready for twice a week mens Championship football. The Wayne Rooneyโs donโt come along often. From what I seen of the lad heโs quite slight in build. -
I drink everyday. Not heavily but 2 or 3 bottles of stout/beer. Makes me think that I should be cutting back

Probably not in terms of quality. We'd probably still be waiting to make our first signing though if he was still here. - Today

Agreed. If we are developing him before a likely move next summer, then its essentially a loan. And would we want to loan a player like Tyjon at this stage of his development? No we wouldnt. So it would only be worth it if we knew we had him longer term. Again, contract uncertainty causes massive issues. We need some clarity now on this. The club are probably thinking its a way of driving up any fee at tribunal though. I suspect thats why they gave Finneran minutes too. -

I usually go for 1-1/2 hrs walk every night when Iโm out there. I used go at 6-00pm. The Spaniards thought I was loco. They go either at 6.00 or 7.00 in the morning or after 9.00 at night. I think Iโll have to go a bit later this year as Iโm getting older. -
As our options retaining young players are limited and If we are giving Tyjon a clear first team pathway -almost guaranteeing him games - then it should only be on the condition he signs a pro deal before the season starts. Otherwise, we develop him for 12 months and lose him for peanuts. If he won't sign, withdraw the pathway and let him tootle off to Arsenal or wherever. That would lay down a marker for other young players coming through. Just a thought.

It's stuff like this that makes the banning of peptides even more ridiculous.
