Notts Royal Snowflake Royal Nova really should be getting game time with the first XI.
It’s an absolute disgrace in all honesty. Would fetch a few mill if we sold him - why he’s not involved tomorrow night is ridiculous. Either play the man or sell him for money. Same with Loader. Instead, we let them rot in the U23s and don’t make a return on them. Don’t care how good the new strikers are, it’s poor decision making
Nova can feel a little bit hard done by but the goal posts have changed and the club have had to move forward accordingly. Gomes wants promotion, the owner wants promotion and by signing these extra guys the club will have a better chance of achieving that. I think the thing that's made it feel like a disservice to all the U23s from pre season is the fact we have only signed all these additional players so late in the window. Had they been here earlier expectations could have managed a lot smoother. I agree though for his sake and ours he is better off elsewhere. He will definitely have a good career.
As for Loader, I'm a bit mixed. The club had been trying since the latter end of the season to tie him up to a new deal but he wasn't interested. He seems to think he is better than he is. I actually believe Olise has more potential than Loader. But what I don't get is why the club did not sell. If Wolves were truly offering up to 8million with a sell on clause I would bite there hands off. He's not going to make the match day squad with Jimenez, Crutone and Pedro Neto way ahead of him. All of those guys have champions/europa league experience.
It also sounds like Loader's exclusion is a lot do with his reaction to the failed transfer to Wolves, as Gomes was alluding to giving Loader some space to think.
