JFC to go out on loan?

[Tom Bombadil]

Realistically which League 2 club would want to take Harley on a season long loan

Realistically? I guess all of them.

Personally I think what he showed against Soton is proof he is capable at this level and with seven subs he should be involved with the squad. Whilst not yet upto the quality of Vicente, he is probably the closest thing we have on our books in terms of keeping the ball at his feet and making a positive pass and I would rather see him in the team ahead of the likes of Dicker and Harley. We're not exactly blessed with great midfielders at the moment. I would also like JFC to go through pre season as it could be a situation where he has a great pre season and forces his way into the team. If he is pre season training with Oxford that ain't going to happen.

Surprised we are sending him out for a season long loan, I would have thought we'd have sent him away until January and then re-assessed him to see if he was ready. Happy to trust in Gus though. He's going to be a top player for us.

Realistically? I guess all of them.

Along with probably every single League 1 club as well.

Chris Wilder plays good football at Oxford - I hope he goes there. He would have Peter Leven as his midfield minder too which is going to be good for him.

A season long loan offers the option of calling him back in January. I think it is by far the best option to get regular league football under his belt and come back to us as a much more complete player

 

[Triggaaar]

My initial thought was why not L1, but this might be right:

The move to L2 means that JFC will almost certainly start for either Burton or Oxford (who should both be at the top end of the table), whereas at a decent L1 side he may still have not got the amount of football that both he and we would like.

Like Man City loaned Assulin to us, but he wasn't always playing, it could be the same if Jake went to a decent L1 team. Maybe Gus is more interested in him getting solid game time, and will worry about the skills while Jake is here.

 

[Notters]

Hardly. He was a 17 year-old who is on a MASSIVE learning curve who got a brief (and deserved) opportunity at first-team football.

Not only this but he got to do a fair bit of training with the first team squad, including Vicente.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Great call. Obviously not quite ready for Chanmpionship and will really develop in League 2.

Star in the making believe me.

Couldn't we loan him to our feeder club for a year?

 

[Rugrat]

Either Burton or Oxford are going to get a quality creative midfielder for next season then.

Assuming he doesn't spend 85 mins looking up in the air while the ball ping pongs over him

Lets hope not!

Assume we'll be able to recall at any time, although it's still a statement of intent that we're aiming for him to be "ready" for 2013/14

Valencia?

 

[Rugrat]

The thought of sparrow,harley and dicker leading our midfield is very worrying and probably the worst midfield in the league at the moment,let's hope we can ship two of them out and get two in asap

I'd go further than that

Full season loans can include a recall clause but that can only be activated during the January transfer window.

 

[middletoenail]

Didn't gus get upset with hoskins for being willing to go out on loan after the club ?

Completely different situation.

Ta ... another little brick in the wall of knowledge

 

[AMEXican Wave]

I didn't realise that, what sort of era did he play for BHA?

Think he played for Mickey Adams (I) around 1999 . Something like that.

 

[terryberry1]

Great signing for a league two team. Can see him getting 10+ goals for whoever he joins at that level

He would score 10+ goals playing for us. Sending him on loan and keeping Harley and Dicker just dont make sense to me

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great move for the club and player, he hopefully gets the experience of a season campaign, we still have first dibs on him and could probably recall him as well. He needs regular football as part of his growth as a footballer and his opportunities until he gets this will be limited with us. Good Luck Jake look forward to you playing with us in the prem.
