Discussion: Play or Loan?

vendredi 24 juin 2022

This is brought up in a lot of threads but we have reached a point where some of our young players are on the edge of the squad, and the question comes up on what is best for their development. As far as senior squad players we have..

Guaita, Matthews, Butland/Johnstone
Mitchell, Ward, Clyne, Ferguson
Andersen, Guehi, Tomkins
Luka, Jairo, (Kouyate, maybe Doucoure)
McArthur, Hughes
Schlupp, Eze, Olise, Zaha, Ayew
JPM, Edouard, Benteke

So 22 +/- senior over age players, with maybe some possibly leaving (Luka, Kouyate, Benteke) and maybe one or two more added.

That begs the question, with the added change of 5 subs, as to what is best for the young players - being with the squad, getting some minutes in the Cups and PL, maybe playing U21 as well, or do we loan them out? In that group, I’d start with the ones who have been in the squad, or in one case had a successful loan:

Rak-Sakyi
Adaramola
O’Brien
Wells-Morrison
Plange
Ewiobei
Ferguson (from a fitness recovery perspective)

Personally, if we could get Ben Garner to take Wells-Morrison & maybe O’Brien again that would be good. For the others, I would have them in the wider squad, with Plange loaned or kept dependent on what the final senior striker roster ends up as.

Thoughts?
