Personally I think if he wasn’t an academy product he would have been released in the summer and most people wouldn’t really have batted an eyelid.
I think this is us giving him a final chance to show he is capable of being a first choice player here. Which for the relatively low cost of his wages and the fact we’ve spent 10 years or so developing him, is totally worthwhile. If this loan doesn’t work out, I don’t think he will be here next year.
I hope he goes out and proves himself to be good enough to play here. He has some great attributes and others that need some real improvement, but currently for me he is quite a way off of Conor Grant’s technical level and based off a few pre season games doesn’t look up to the level of Miller either.
