Loaned-Out Players

doombear said:
We haven't been a Category A Academy for that long. We now attract a better level of youngsters. It wasn't that long ago that we only loaned out a a couple or so youngsters each season and then only to National League clubs and the occasional League Two and League One.

This season we have loaned out 11 Academy and young fringe players plus two of our first team squad (Edouard and Ahamada). That's unheard of for Palace.

As I said earlier, if the club thought Rak-Sakyi wasn't going to make it, they would have sold him to Southampton. That's not to say he will make it but the fact they wanted to loan him out rather than sell him is a clear statement that they are more confident than not that he'll make it.

Still disagree, like I said, I’m sure they keep hold of some of the better ones incase the worst happens, a good year at Sheffield United, we get relegated(not saying we will) but then we’ve got a player who could be a good championship player coming back to us, almost like a new signing.
But I do take your point about we haven’t been category A for that long, so maybe in the future we will have more gems like Wilf, AWB and Mitchell coming through a bit more regular, i.e. players who they know straight away are the business and there’s no need to off load them elsewhere

If there wasn't some serious expectation JRS will in time become a valued first team player, why not let him have his crack at Premier League football and pocket £15m?
 
Hopefully he does well and gets a better loan in January as he looks like one of our more promising U21 players. I'm guessing his move to Hartlepool is because the transfer window is closed for league clubs?
 
Related to this topic, I am surprised that we are not deploying our top youth in the first team, as Glasner was supposed to be a manager who believed in, coached and then supported young players getting game time. We have academy stars sitting on the bench and not getting any minutes - what is the point?
As I review games played tonight across Europe, its all the "wunderkids" grabbing goals and headlines. How come we are still trotting out Schluppy and Co. when we have talent in our younger players, experience not so much perhaps, but maybe some energy and willingness to take it to the opposition? I am just sick and tired of the same old approach, where is the creativity, trust and risk / reward approach?

If they were good enough they’d be playing. It’s not like we have an aversion to younger players like Wharton but they have to have the quality. A lot of the wunderkids in Europe will have started elsewhere and been snapped up by bigger clubs.
 
JRS scored both goals in Sheffield Utds win over Luton today. I know Mr eagleman13 doesn't think he's good enough for us, but, a right sided, left footed player who can score might be worth bringing back.

If he continues his good form I'll look forward to seeing him in our lineup come January.

I’m with eagleman I’m afraid, scoring against a now poor Luton side in the championship doesn’t mean he’s going to do it for us. The only way he’s going to get any sort of serious game time for us is if we get relegated, which is the only reason we haven’t already off loaded him just incase

Confused.com. where have I said JRS isn't good enough for our team? The rest of your post I fully agree with.

What can I say? That's what comes from relying on an old geezer's memory. So, humble apologies for suggesting you may have cast doubts on JRS.

It was in the 'Academy Stars?' thread where I suggested JRS might be worth a go and it was actually Mr Robbo who thought differently.

I think I should stop digging.

This is his first season getting regular first team football. He took both his goals well today after making room for the shots and looked very confident. If we get relegated he could be playing in a higher division than Palace next year
 
According to Talksport JRS ripped it up yesterday and was MOTM. However before we get too excited this is the first game for United where he has shown his potential.

He needs to be doing this on a regular basis before we should consider bringing him back in January.

Well done JRS keep it up for a recall.

He had a full season of first team football at Charlton in 22/23, albeit in League 1.

He was their player of the year scoring 15 goals, it shows how crap Charlton are these days that one of our youth team was their best player 😀
