MaVilla Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 4 minutes ago, Indigo said: If Bree has a future at the club and Hutton and Elmo don't beyond this season then what is the point in loaning Bree out exactly? Give him the minutes here if that's the case and make him the first choice right back for the rest of the season. Best of both worlds as he gets the minutes he needs but he gets them here rather than going out on loan and then having to attempt to find his feet here again. If we're working towards next season and only hopeful of a play-off place then surely playing a player who will be here and not persevering with two that won't fits the brief. Hutton and Elmo are both shite too and obviously the salient point is that it keeps both of them out. Elmo and Hutton will probably be gone at the end of the season, so if Bree goes on loan it will give him a good run of consistent game time, which is probably what he needs. I thinking probably a good move tbh, will allow.us to give him game time and decide if he is good for us next season, especially as we are meant to be signing this Guilbert guy who is also a RB for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I also like the fact we are sending out our youth prospects on loan. (Doyle hayes/ bedeau, ohare etc) Will really be good to blood them for the last half of the season and allow us to see how they fair, possibly with a view to seeing if they are ready for first team action next season when I think the team rebuild will take place over the summer. Coupled with this Guilbert signing for next season, if it happens, I think is really showing good forward planning, good stuff I think.

If only we had had a capable manager. I was thinking about this yesterday. We bought so much talent. The problem for me were the players you don't mention...Richards and Gestede. Replacing Vlaar for Richards basically left an enormous gaping hole in our defence and replacing Benteke with Gestede was an obvious disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Whilst it’s frustrating to not have this right back straight away if he is a very good player I would rather we made this deal to sign him in the summer than not sign him at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all of that means it makes more sense for us to keep and play Bree rather than loan him out. Elmo and Hutton are poor, aging and probably won't be here come next season - why have either of them ahead of Bree in the pecking order then? Give Bree the run of game time here and see how he gets on. It's not like we're loaning him to a League 2 side, we signed him from a Championship team he was playing well in and are apparently considering loaning him to a Championship side. He's clearly at least capable at this level so why not play him for the remainder of the season instead of two players who aren't of any more use than him that have absolutely no future here in comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd kept them and made those signings we'd have been okay I reckon. We'd have at least doubled our 17 points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because Bree isn’t actually that good and fans seem to be blinded by the fact he is still young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, and I don't particularly rate him either, but it doesn't really change the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all down to preference, while I feel there is still an outside chance of making the playoffs, I would prefer Hutton to play as our RB. Overall potential is Bree's but currently Hutton should be ahead of him. I think Bree needs to hone some skills and that a loan out, will do just that and he can come in and play next season for us.

Well if Hutton and Elmo can do a better job than him at RB from now until the end of the season then it makes sense to loan him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) The loan back thing is something Chelsea, Liverpool e.t.c can afford to do because they have ridiculous squad depth and endless resources. Not sure we can afford that kind of luxury when all we have at the club currently is Hutton and Elmohamedy and us loaning out Bree?
