In fairness i'd be surprised if all 6 are all fit at the same time.
But if all are fit right now then you'd expect Castillo, Famewo, Lee and Burstow to be in the squad. So then it's a choice between John and Leko i think. But if we have Aneke, Stockley and Washington available then possibly Burstow.
Barring injury, I can’t see a situation where Leko doesn’t at least make the bench
I think Castillo is going to be missing out more often than we think, especially if Blackett-Taylor keeps playing the way he did the other night in the LWB role.

Agreed it'd be hard to drop CBT if he keeps playing like that but he's the very definition of inconsistent. Just as likely to drop a shocker and be hauled off at half time as he is to be MOTM.
Personally i think when he's fully fit Castillo will start and then get a run of games (unless he turns out to be really shit like Levitt or any of the Matt Smiths)
If the prem youngsters have a match day inclusion clause, then expect Lee to be missing out.
Has anyone ever seen evidence of these existing for young players, at all ever?
I know older ones have them but part of the reason young players go on loan is so the parent club know how good they are. I don't think we paid Man United for Levitt not playing, nor were Chelsea so pissed off that Desilva didn't feature....
Burstow has played a total of 7 times in the league and scored twice. With that small of a sample size, how can any fans objectively say that amount is too low. Both of his goals were poachers goals and he has not created much in the way of chances for himself or others during league play. I am not saying he won’t be good because he definitely has the strength/pace necessary but the absolute certainty of our fans is just another example of us overrating our youth squad potential.

No idea, probably belongs with "cant disclose transfer fees because clubs up the price" and "agent forcing player to move"
If garner comes in, I betcha Payne and Williams follow him
Judging by some of the comments already being posted Payne pain looks certain to follow
As always, ill judge him on performance, I watched probably 4-5 games last season of Swindon and they played more attractive football then we played last year. To be honest, everyone we have been linked to is rather green, but if you had to pick out of them all I'd have gone for Matty Taylor. Knows Charlton, has captained them and also did a great job last year with a really good group of young players. Strange decision for Garner but I'm willing to back him until he proves us otherwise

sayimg we got £1.6m plus add ons and sells on for burstow
It could unchuff them enough not to loan to us again though.
So effectively we've got some money, a sell on, and most likely the option to play him for the entire length that his contract was with us.

Sounds plausible, but probably rarely happens.
Edit: Don't know why this got a lol because it's actually true
