Where are we with him IYO? Should he be given a chance here - a proper chance - or do we move him on? He's still only 21 so I suppose he could go a division up with Blackburn on a loan deal again, but I have the feeling that if he goes out again this season he'll never make it with us. Thoughts?

I don't think he'll ever make it as a top league striker, sadly.

I think he is of a similar ilk to PerezOriginally Posted by Zippity
He’s just been called up to the England under 21 squad I think he is a confidence player.
I personally don’t think he would be that far away from Murphy.
Sometimes players just need a run in the team.
We are all to eager to get rid of players.
I wish we still had Thauvin.
Give him a good pre season with plenty of time..send him back to Blackburn if we have to.
But I think there is a player in there somewhere

Me too. It really is a waste of time spending a lot of money on a player and then lending him back after six months because he hasn't become established. I'm sure under the right management we could have seen a lot more of and from him.

I'd love to see him succeed here but i don't think he will anymore.
He's apparently one we're willing to listen to offers for in the summer.
If he's a confidence player i'm not sure we have the time for him to find the confidence to play here but i'd really like to see him do well here.

As much as anything, I think he's too slight for the Prem.

If he can compensate through other abilities though, I don't think size matters too much. Trust me on that one, I would know!
