Is it in his blood and does he deserve respect? Either written by Caskey himself or a 5 year old.

Blimey ...note to self...never make an error while you are around.
I'm so very very sorry. Are you his best friend?

Would have loved him to have kicked on and been pushing for a place but simply hasn't developed well enough. Last season showed that you need a midfield pairing like Stephens and Kayal to get a sniff of promotion. Sadly JFC is a long way from that level. I wish him all the best, but if we really want to be challenging at the top of the table, especially with the teams that have come down, I don't believe he is worthy of a place on the bench, especially with the system we play.

Really isnt good enough if we have any ambitions of pushing for a promotion place - would be ok re-building his career in Lge1 i think

Do we though? Seems that barely any of the development squad get a look in and what with no loans this season if that's his standard it would grounds for keeping him? i am not sure what i would do if i were CH.
Just not good enough for a promotion thinking side, lacks the mobility and physicality needed at that level. Also think he is not suited to a two man central unit which will hugely limit his chances in the current system. Probably best for all that he moves on

So he walks away 'on a free' next summer when his contract expires ?
Won't somebody have to pay compensation as he's under 23?

Yes they would if he's offered a new contract. Key for me is that we get a big sell on. I'd be okay with a small fee but large sell on in case he improves a lot.

Jamie Vardy? a late bloomer.

Absolutely, he could be. Hence the large sell on clause. Don't think he'll bloom here though as he won't work in a 4-4-2, probably needs a more free central midfield role than having to get up and down the pitch.
If he leaves, I hope he goes on to do well. Another victim of being over hyped at a young age.

I haven't seen enough of Towelll but get the feeling that CH doesn't rate him if not he would have made more appearances on the bench.
For that reason I would rather keep JFC and loan out Towell. The problem as mentioned by others is that JFC probably doesn't fit into a 442, that said not too sure that Towell would either. Doth players will have limited opportunities with Kayak, Stephens and Sidwell in the squad.

He had an option to go to Arsenal when he was about 16, so I give him some respect for sticking at the Albion. Definitely has some ability but he is stagnating here and needs a move. Looks good at L1 level, and should improve with more games and the right coach.

I have said it before., there is a good player trying to get out and we should try to help him do that. When he pays fro England under 21s he is with his peers, when he plays for the Albion he has been the younger player and treated as such. When he first played for Brighton in those 5 or 6 games he did not have that millstone he was the star in waiting and played accordingly. We need to get him out of his shell and play to his ability e.g.he was a dead ball specialist but we never let him take free kicks ...
