Good for the experience, I suppose - but also a bit sad that he won't have a shot here in a cup match or something. I do sometimes wonder if we're too cautious with our youngsters' progress.

What's better, the odd cup match and the development squad or getting out there and finding out what it actually takes to be a professional footballer.
His star seems to have waned somewhat in the last couple of years. Maybe CH could get the best out of him again? Or maybe his days as a top flight player have just about gone. £2M isn't a lot by the current mad standards - might (just possibly) be worth a punt if he's not too greedy about wages. I don't think I'd be too overwhelmed though..........
Personally, think we're handling them well. Maguire-Drew looked exceptional last season, will be interesting to see how he does.

Amongst many. He has gone from England international to Div 1 very quickly.
He was out there doing that last season. How old does he have to be before we consider giving him a chance in the 1st. team squad? If we never do, what's the point of a development squad?

Or even for the national team.

With one major difference, Maguire-Drew is nowhere near our first team, If Izzy Brown were to sign, he would expect to play.
Yes, will be interesting - and I'm encouraged a little by seeing that there's a January recall option.
Exactly. That's how it normally works for us.
And he'd still count as U21 then and next season as well, so wouldn't need to be in the 25 named.

Which is the deeply worrying thing about a potential deal.
Leicester signing Iheanacho for £25 million 
I know he has scored a few when he has had the chance but I'm not convinced he is good enough to cut it as a regular starter in the PL.

I'd imagine the recall option is primarily there so that there's the option to get him back and off to another club if he's struggling for game time at Lincoln. Think it'll be a while before he gets near an Albion match day squad.

Bargain in my opinion. Seems to have everything you need to be a top player and still young.
Ooo. Does this mean they arn't singing Defrel ?Leicester signing Iheanacho for £25 million
