I’d imagine they plan to give him more exposure to men’s football at a slightly lower level. I can’t see him being a regular starter at 16. Hopefully he’ll prove me wrong!

"Here, Bishops Cleeve, play our player. We aren't going to, our results are too important to risk it. Yours don't matter though."

"Here, Bishops Cleeve, play our player. We aren't going to, our results are too important to risk it. Yours don't matter though."

But a player who’s not quite ready for one level, could be excellent at a lower one, and all parties can benefit?

I don’t understand your logic?

The difficulty arises there, where an l looks very much like a I.

Must have pissed him off his whole life.

So why should that clubs own players forego first team opportunities so another clubs youngsters can get a game?

[Kitto]

Why not?

To improve their team?
