It only makes sense if he has fully recovered and we are planning on moving RJ to midfield in the mid term. he basically costs us nothing and already knows the club and the PL inside out.

What?

Left to develop and play because Reece was here then we signed Gusto in Jan and now want another young RB who needs to play to develop? Fffffffsssss lol

Even with a loan back…. its so stupid. Makes 0 sense.

I’d hate that. Reece has the ability to play in midfield in a pinch but I wouldn’t want him there for any length of time. Takes away his best attributes.

This kid looks abit more like the kinda Brazillian we dream of as fans and that's probably why we won't get him.

It’s a trade off. His amazing crossing, dribbling around opposition fullbacks and and ability to finish from an angle would be sacrificed . But his ball carrying ability , shooting from distance, physicality and creativity would help us even more in the middle. I prefer him at WB too but if we go back to back 4 his attacking influence would be limited anyway. Plus we are short midfielders. If we can for some reason not get enough mids in and Gusto is a revelation, it might be tempting to try RJ as B2B.

what is the point of spending so much money on young people?

buying some is fine, but this has been an exaggeration

It’s honestly starting to feel out of control. How are we going to monitor and and do what’s best for 30 different top prospects at once? Feels like complete overkill. And it’s not like all these kids are being bought for a million here or a million there. We’re spending tens of millions on these guys all together.

[Mhsc 912]

What’s the limits on loaning players out? I’d expect all these kids to be signing for sister clubs TBH.

[Clockwork 1,794]

This guy is next level compared to the young players we have signed, he is going to be rotational player at the very least next season if signed.

[Mário César 997]

The problem is that we already have a young squad.

there won't be room for everyone 

[Pizy 18,419]

It’s like we’re allergic to making signings that are first XI ready. 🤣

Wonder if Reece's body will allow him to play as a RWB for longer periods of time...considering the hamstring and other injuries he's had on a consistent basis

Wonder if the club are concerned about HG criteria moving forward  (just off the top of my head: Madueke, Sterling, Gallagher, Chilwell, Reece, think Colwill would count as U-21)

Losing Mount, RLC hurts the HG rules and Gallagher/Chalobah have been linked to moves
