Old Man Andrews We should have got rid of Loader in January, get a couple of million for him. I predict he won't go on to achieve anything significant in football.

How would you define significant?
He is still only 19 tbf. But do agree in retrospect we should have cashed in earlier

Be a regular Premier League starter. Just haven't seen anything to suggest he can do it at that level, I compare him to young Championship starlets like Jarrod Bowen and Kalvin Phillips and he just isn't in the same universe as players like that.

Those 2 are 4 and 5 years older than Loader.

Age isn't the relevance it is the talent they immediately demonstrated when they came into their respective sides I am referring to. Bowen was clearly Championship level immediately, same with Phillips. Loader would be playing right now if he were good enough, clearly he isn't.

Maybe but it is way too early to state anything definitively.

I tend to agree with OMA, Loader has shown nothing so far that excites or gives an indication of potential at first team level

Apart from the stunning goal at Middlesborough last season obviously !

Yeah... the age factor is certainly relevant though. And if your only measure of success is PL regular then you might as well close the academy because very few will achieve that.

The point of the academy is to produce players who can play for our first team who we can then sell on for a huge amount of money. On the evidence we have seen Danny Loader isn't good enough for the first team.
Really think he should have gone out on loan to a League 1 side this season, played week in and week out.

seahawk10 I like this as a summary of our current depth and injuries.
