We never have him a chance in the first team - we raced to sign him c other club's in the prem - then just have him away - He did get injured - we sent him on loan where a player in his position Bowen is now at West Ham .....so he had to swap wings -Josh Bowler completes £4.25m move to Everton from QPR
Josh Bowler has completed his £4.25m move from QPR to Everton and signed a three-year contract at Goodison Park.www.skysports.com
Considering he never made a single first team appearance for us, I'd be very surprised if we triggered any of these add-ons.
I liked Josh Bowler a lot in the 23s but we're talking about a lad with 38 first team appearances when he left us, mostly on loan at hull, 1 goal scored, 2 assists.
And since he left us 21 apps, 2 goals, 1 assist. He's a nice player but I don't think the decision to let him go should be used to hang Brands. Not when Iwobi is right there.
It's just an example of how bad our youth set up is - not that many making the grade being given away for nothing - while Brands or any last idiots signing players like the iwobis etc...... Plus past it players with no sell on value .....
