In that cameo he showed you the good and bad. But frankly I can't name one player who ever got better by not playing.
This is why i don't quite understand Allerdyce's treatment of him. Look at Tom Davies, his passing decision making will improve the more he plays and he seems to get game time. Allerdyce claims he has to play a not fully fit Bolassie because of his price tag, well we paid a fair bit for Lookman considering his age and the fact he came from league 1. He needed game time to help him improve not shunning into the corner like fat sam seemed to do.

I honestly don't think Davies would have featured so much for Sam if we weren't so light on competent and fully fit senior specialist midfielders.

Ditto Kenny. If Baines were fit I think Cuco would be in at right back whilst we're reintegrating Coleman.

I can't really recall him having a track record of promoting youth across his career.
 
I tend to agree but I see the positives in this move. 1) he will be training with some world class players, with high expectations. 2) The manager has used him in both games - showing that he's committed to playing him. 20 minutes every week is better than nothing and he's playing against better competition. The reservation I would have had with Derby, is the Championship might be too easy for him. Sometimes we learn faster with some failure. 3) He's gone to a foreign country where he doesn't speak the language and has to live on his own. This will do wonders for his maturity growth.
Yeah there are definitely some positives, I just think that on the whole a move to the Championship would have helped more in terms of the specific development areas for him.

I certainly don't think the Championship would be too easy for him. I've seen nothing from him so far to suggest that he's that good. There are players in the championship at the moment who've achieved a hell of a lot more than he has.
 

Really don't understand the fuss over this lad.

He was good against Liverpool in the cup. That's it.

and his last bit of real game time before that he was fantastic in the Europa dead wood,

we were asking for consistency and started to get it then boom banished to the bench
 

He's probably the only one to get slightly excited over.

But I agree. He's also 20. In flashes you can see his ability but its only been in flashes so far.

This in a nutshell.

Whilst it has been good to see the flashes, we are going on like he has 10 league goals. Whereas the player who has got 10 league goals get bashed every time he has an average game.

I'm not a huge fan of DCL either. Again he shows some potential but he's hardly lighting up the league either and Niasse is performing far better and I don't rate him either.

I'm not a huge fan of any of our kids. They may turn out OK but I haven't seen any to suggest any are special.

I suppose Lookman is the only one but his decision making and movement needs work plus he's very lightweight.
