2017/18 Kieran Dowell

[Connor]

Unsworth played him. Are you suggesting Unsworth would loan this lad out now after this summer's evidence? That he's coaching these lads to perfection so they can go to a hoofball league and have seven bells hacked out of them and watch the ball sail over their heads?

He's far from the finished article. I'm sure even Unsworth recognises the benefit at playing in the Championship over the 23's, European dead rubbers and League Cup 3rd round ties.

Yes, he's unsworths player. So that'll be in conjunction with Walsh and Koeman to see how develops and if he can progress to the first team

Marvellous decision from the management team

The word is the lad is not happy with this outcome and Unsworth isn't thrilled either.

I fully expect Davies to be sidelined this season too.

More marvellous decisions...let's see if they have a marvellous outcome.

He's playing alongside Velios so it will be interesting to see how he's getting on too.

I will be VERY interested to hear Unsworth's thoughts on this.

Oh goody, rumours with no foundation

Lol

For you Dave this is a win win really, allows you to moan whatever the outcome.

It takes years for the penny to drop about Dave for some people !
We should all really just stand back and admire his work, or pity him, I switch between the two and occassionally manage both at once !

Anyway, Dowell's going. His first team manager and his U23 manager both seem to think it's a good thing, so I'm fine with it.

Neither really, just reminds me of somebody I knew when they were losing their mind. Ranted that much in the end, they didn't even know they were doing it.

Along the lines of: "It's a great move for Kieran. We're buzzing for him, getting a chance in a real top team."

And very soon dowell will have, sigurdsson, sandro, Rooney all ahead of him for his favoured position.

As of now, Barkley also as no bidders yet.

Ofc if he goes and plays really well on loan you will moan we should have kept him and such, if he struggles you will moan about us harming his development.

For you Dave this is a win win really, allows you to moan whatever the outcome.

I'll tell you one thing for nothing: these decisions to sell the likes of Deulofeu, his stance on Barkley and now loaning out a lad like Dowell (who almost certainly will be gutted and is very unlucky to be loaned out whilst utter tripe like DCL remain and are played): if the results dont go as planned this season they will haunt this manager.

All except the crap one now confined to the bench.

"Marvellous decisions".
