Nah - no need to interrupt the loan. He'll learn more by playing there than he would sitting on the bench for us and getting 20 minutes here or there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Great touch in the lead up to QPR goal, getting praise for his performance again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I hope Unai doesn't forget about this guy in his medium term planning. Presume he gets regular updates on him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 He will fit in perfectly in our midfield. He can sit or he can play left of right wing. It is whether he comes back next season or they give him another year on loan to learn his trade. Personally i think he is good enough to cement a fairly regular start for us if he carries on developing as quickly as he is. Quick feet strong tackling and real pace are good assets to have in an Emery team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'd recall him if we don't bring a midfielder in. Put him ahead of Nakamba and Sanson, can get mins from the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I may be wrong but I think we would have had to have said already if we wanted to recall him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't suprise me if we make a late decision to recall him. Our squad looking thin. He's good enough to get mins from the bench . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pez1974 Posted January 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2023 I think he'll benefit more by getting 18 games in the Championship, perhaps fighting for a play off place - than a few subs appearances for us over the next few months. Bring him back ready for battle in the Summer, rather than half-cooked and us losing another year in his development. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Not averse to him coming back this season. He's done exceptionally at QPR: I wonder how he'd develop training alongside Kamara? Let Emery have a look at him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Keep him on loan, I've seen enough to say he is good enough for a proper squad place here next season as 3rd or 4th choice behind Kamara/Luis we don't need to be signing more defensive minded midfielders unless we want to sell Dendonker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim is 20 in the summer In the year Foden turned 20, he got the equivalent of about 20 games worth of matches for City, including games in the CL. In the previous year, it was about 14 games worth for Foden. Tim got the equivalent of 4 (of which 3 was in the EFL cup) last season. Law of averages says the 30+ matches of game time he'll play for QPR this season will be better for him than a bit of time off the bench for us.

I would say that Tim will get more minutes for us (probably next season) IF we sign Guendouzi because there will be significantly less pressure on him if he came on for 15 - 30 as a sub as he'll still have two excellent midfielders alongside him / supporting him.

Next season he has to be involved. Not first choice necessarily, but as a rotation player; as a finisher, and become a starter in a couple of seasons. We need to keep the youth coming through or our finances become unsustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City also involved in multiple competetion as well. So to be fair, he got alot more " sporadic " minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
