like with all these young prospects, playing in the u21s/development league is all well and good but no where near as physical and demanding as league 1.
Very true which is why Arsenal and other clubs (Chelsea and Dasilva) want to get their kids out on loan to football league clubs.

its a win win for roland and her, were bringing players in and not spending a penny apart from on wages.

Not to mention young and completely inexperienced. Basically, the sort of player you should be going for if you're on Shrewsbury Town's budget and aspirations, not the sort of player you'd bring in if you were trying to "build a squad capable of challenging for promotion" (Quote K Meire, April 2016).
I liken our transfer policy to my clothes shopping. Occasionally I will go out and spend £100 plus on a pair of jeans because I know it's the right thing to do if you want quality and have any chance of looking the part, but most of the time I'll be skulking round the t-shirt racks of tk maxx buying £15 dodgy brand name shirts that don't fit me properly, just because I'm trying to save money. I convince myself I look okay, but then I go out with it on and feel uncomfortable compared to all my mates who have better fitted attire and look trendy.
I just look like a c*** with ill fitting clothing and have to get hammered to forget my miserable presence.

If Lookman had been on Arsenals books I would suggest he would also be in their under 21's yet was clearly good enough for League 1. Lets give the boy a chance shall we?

Love that.....only because you've just described my own shopping habits!

lets and will be one of the reasons why we havent gone up this season because of the constant pissing about by skinflint.
wasnt writing him off just saying hes young and not experienced in this league, challenges are a lot harder in this league etc.
Sorry, I meant that a loan isn't always just wages, sometimes there is a fee too although not so likely with kids
Doubt it will be the case for a player they're looking to get league experience for. In fact, we might not even be paying anything in wages, particularly if he surpasses a certain number of appearances.
Right now I think we need a 2nd/3rd choice lone center forward who is strong and mobile. I think a loan makes sense here actually. Ideally it wouldn't be an untried 18 year old, but again we're talking a 3rd choice player (maybe fourth choice if Watt continues to be an option in the lone forward role) when Magennis is back. At the weekend KR suggest getting in a player who can play as a forward or play wide, and I'm wondering if Mavididi can play wide as well.
As for our youngsters, I suggest that they'd be better off going out on loan at the moment as well. Hanlan seems to be doing well at Bromley, and it'd be great if Umerah and KAG could find League Two clubs until the end of the season. All three really need games in proper football or I fear they risk stagnating. If they stick around they might get on the bench on occasion, maybe even get a couple appearances, but it will be far from regular games.
We're SO crap at this transfer window deadline. Same mistakes, year on year. £11m in the bank. 6 points off the playoffs with a game in hand. Leave it until next year and we'll be fighting relegation.
I'm not having that - Daisy keeps saying that they have learnt from their mistakes
That's exactly it - they've learned how to make the same mistakes time and time again.

Okay doke; I myself reckon he will do well. Two of the last three loans from Arsenal have gone back straight into their team. Not saying he will do the same but heres hoping he does impress that much.

Yes. And Slade being so negative with his team selection and tactics (although he did good stuff behind the scenes). Too many draws.

That being said, he looks more mobile than I envisioned. Probably bagged Driesen some goals on Football Manager.
Charlton 0 Swindon 15.
In the play off final.

Supposed to be quite physical. Good movement and quite a handful for defenders.
Seems to be able to play wide and through the middle.
Not so sure about all the Calli_Messi stepovers.
Raw 18 year old though.
Could be a useful player to throw on for the last 15 minutes if we're chasing the game.
Too many draws.
