Send more youngsters out on loan

We should send more youngsters out on loan to get league experience and 2help us out in 2nd half of season if needed.

Comments

  • Only if they're league 2 standard or above. Our youngsters are better off getting the quality coaching in the U21's side as well as playing week in week out instead of training a couple of days a week for a non-league side.

    Youngsters I'd send out on loan to L1 or L2 are Pope, Cousins, Azeez, Bover. The rest are better off improving in the U21's.
  • Poyet?
  • I'd send fox out on loan to seems like he's doing well in u21 so would be good to get some experience in the football league
  • The way things are looking at the moment these lads are our best hope for the future. We need to get them playing, otherwise it's a bit like teaching someone to play the piano and then not giving them an instrument to practise on.
  • Can only send them on loan if someone wants to take them, some will be stars of the future for sure but doesn't guarantee a team want them right now.
  • Nathan Jones spoke about this at Bromley Addicks recently.

    If they are deemed ready to go and will learn more at another club than playing in our U21 team (and if people want them) then they will go out.

    But it will depend on the individual player and where he is in his development rather than a blanket policy of "Send them out on loan regardless".

    Players like Poyet are only 17 or 18 in any case while Harriot was on the bench for the first team last week.
  • watched Dartford on TV friday. They have a few young players on loan (GK from Fulham for example).

    It was a decent standard, in a competetive league, infront of real fans.

    Thats got to be better for development than an U21 game infront of a handful of people.

    But, like already has been said, only when they are ready.
  • Would love to see a few playing in Conference or L2 level, even if it was just for 3 month stints. Guess you wont really know if someones ready until you throw them in at the deep end. A good run and a bit of confidence can do wonders for a young player
  • Palace play there youngsters maybe we should take a page from them...

    And there's the rub.

    If they are thrown in at the deep and sink rather than swim it won't do them or use any good at all.

    Confidence gone and doubts in the players mind. Other clubs unwilling to take them on after seeing them fail elsewhere.

    When the the coaches who know them and work with them think the time is right then yes but only then.

    but at the same time, if an 18 year old playing at Charlton, cant go to a conference side and play well, then questions of the player have to asked and you find a bit more out about them.

    its certainly a difficult one for the coaching staff and CP.

    Could say the same about an 19 year old at Man City. Shouldn't he shine in a bottom half of the championship side?

    But Razak has had mixed reviews from Charlton fans and has now been dropped to the bench by Powell.

    True but if they dont play too well at the age of 18 in L2 on a 1-3 month loan then I dont think it will damage them too much. They come back, work on their game for the rest of the season and try again next year. These guys want to be professional footballers, and at some stage they need to be tested. By not playing a competitive league game until the age of 19-20, even as a sub etc, you have a very untested player. If they dont do well then at least they will be aware of what is required of them to improve and be a success, and will hopefully step up/try harder/work on their weakness.

    As for teams not wanting to take on a player who played poorly at one stage, especially when young, dont think that's the case at all. Have seen plenty of shite loanees who still manage to get games elsewhere! There will always be someone willing to take a loanee from a club 2-3 divisions above! If Nouble can get a game after his performances for us, then anyone can!

    id say the drop from Prem ressies to Charlton is slightly harder than playing in the conference.

    plus perhaps Mancini will know more about Razak now than he would ever have learnt with him playing non competetive reserve football and carling cup games.
