Like I say, if he's not going to feature much this season, he'd benefit from going out on loan to a level higher than where he's been previously. Boys like him need game time. I'm sure the manager will know what's best for him.

I hope he does. The last one certainly didn't.

Based on what though? I didn't see anything to suggest he was ready for regular game time. We needed our best 11 on the park every game and imo he wasn't part of the best 11. This isn't a slant on Glass, he just wasn't quite ready in my opinion. He didn't do enough when called upon to convince me otherwise either.
Its a big ask asking a kid whose only had two 6 month lower league loan spells to jump from League Two football straight into a Championship title fight. It'll be even bigger to ask him to then make yet another step up into a Premiership survival fight/bid for top six (whatever it turns out to be).

I agree, we can't be playing young lads for the sake of it, they need to earn their minutes on the pitch at our club.

Agree on Mochrie, would love to see him get decent game time. Glass definitely has plenty to offer too but is 3 years older than Mochrie - he needs to show that when he gets the chance or he will be back out on loan. Same with Chalmers.

This for me, I dont think there is much between Mochrie and Glass, Mochrie is bigger physically and quicker maybe but the crucial thing is at 17 he is 3 years younger

Yeah, from a guy on Tek but no idea what his source is. I think it's highly unlikely we can meet his wage requirement tbh

Reported to have been on £8K a week at Hull, so would be some drop. Reading he turned down a £150K a week deal from a Chinese club a few years back though, so who knows. Money clearly isn't his motivation.

£150,000 a fecking week!! If he turned that down he needs his head looking at 😂

I'd still like to know where the rumours come from though
