Geordie Ahmed Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm usually keen on getting young players out on loan and getting game time, in his case I wouldn't be considering it, firstly he's only just turned 17 so still very young and secondly he hasn't looked out of place in our side I think training with the first team and then getting valuable minutes in cup games, certain league matches will be huge for him. This time next year we can easily look at the situation and send him out on loan if necessary Based on what I've seen I don't think he'll have a loan stint, he'll get enough minutes this season and by next season can see him genuinely competing for a spot in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won that award for a youth tournament somewhere right? Possibly Hong Kong, and the award had been won by a bunch of people who went on to become some of the biggest names in European football. Wonder if it would have been different in a professional academy set up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Was the milk cup and played in Northern Ireland. Bit of a downgrade but I’m sure a lot of big names have won player of the tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He was told he won’t be going out on loan. Him and his brother Jamie are really close. It must be hard for Jamie as when out Lewis now gets everyone asking for his autograph. They are even thinking about moving as a family as people have started knocking on their door asking for autographs and photos with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Will be playing for Gateshead in 5 years. [/ashleyera] Looks the real deal like. So happy we've an infrastructure and management team that will help him kick on. Not saying Matty Longstaff would have gone on to be a PL regular but we bungled that lad's development so badly. After that insane debut vs Man U you'd have not thought he'd get quietly released after some failed League 2 loans a couple years later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
