TF, FFS you should be flying here now asking the same fecking questions we are why let 2 promising young forwards go on loan but then loan in 2 absolute fecking cruds in maiga & Keane they make priskin & Marcus bent seem like sturridge & suerez stop fecking around on twitter telling us Bollox and get here and sort this sh*t out
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I think if you asked any coach they would be saying for the kids long term career banging in the goals in league 1 this season rather than being a bit part player on the bench is the best thing for both him and the club.
You have seen the size of him as well, he's not going to be able to lead the line on his own at championship level!

a Gills fan told me Harrimans been a bit of a revelation since them pushed him into midfield. Fully expected him to be playing Championship football the next season.
this season has been his development fair enough but he must at least play a bit part role next season or i'm done...

and my word they were good quality goals. exquisite control, instinctive finishes. better than anything we've seen from any of our strikers this year, Austin aside.
Do agree he's just not the right build to lead the line solo at championship level, but he looks like he could be a seriously good goal poacher.

Again, people are too blind to look at things with perspective.
Sending him out on loan was the best thing that could have happened. Let the guy learn how to play in a competitive league, then bring him back for next season, where he's had a full season of already playing 1st team football.
It's what happens in football.
Look at the scum down the road. Their best strikers out on loan for the 2nd season. Once he's recalled next season he's going to be a right handful and a shoe in for one of the top 5 goal scorers in the league, but I suppose Mourinho's clueless too, and he's lost the plot like HR?

Look, I like the lad, and I think he takes a goal really well, but I think part of developing a young player includes learning how to score goals at a professional level.
He's doing that now. If he'd have stayed with us, who's to say he wouldn't have scored as many and would have spent a fair few games on the bench. That's hardly what a you g player like him needs. As it is hell come back next season, fresh in the knowledge he can score at a decent level and with sky high confidence going in to a season where he wants to prove himself.
People seem to be misunderstanding the difference between loaning someone out to develop them, and loaning someone out as he's surplus to requirements, and that's not what TH's loan is about.
He will come back a far stronger and more developed player as a result of this loan.

Yeah i'm all for developing youngsters at a lower level and SLOWLY bringing them through to our 1st team. Just look at Keane,although i think he isn't good enough,his confidence is looking at an all time low with the unrealistic expectation placed upon him. Why we signed him or Maiga is anyones guess. However building up Tom at a club where there is little pressure on him gives him the confidence to express himself without being booed by some of our so called supporters. Some of the young players on loan are going to become useful come next season no matter what division we're in.

That's the difference between the different reasons for loans.
I honestly don't think Keane for example has a career as a top flight striker. He's been loaned out in the hope of having a good season & someone coming in for him. Can you see him going back to carve out a future with his patent club? No, me neither and I think they know that.
Loans are good when used for the right reasons, and I honestly think we're doing that with the players going out. Not so much unfortunately with the ones coming in though

From what i've seen Evans has had other players up front doing the business so he's had to bide his time. It looks like he's improving without the excessive pressure he'd undoubtedly be subjected to by a section of our fans. The hatrick he scored was absolute class,especially the 3rd which was world class. This boy could end up one hell of a player if we don't drown him in the pressure cooker that is QPR.

And what do you think Max Ehmer learnt, or what benefit did he gain, from three months at Carlisle this season? After spending a season and a half at Yeovil, two separate spells with Stevenage, one with Preston, all at that level, what did he gain from another three months in League One with Carlisle while we signed first Oguchi Onyewo and then Aaron Hughes instead of him?
Honestly the only thing more annoying than people being negative for the sake of it, is people desperately trying to find the fcking positives in everything our club does just because it's our club. We are currently picking Will Keane and Mobido cnting Maiga up front, and paying thousands and thousands and thousands of pounds a week to do it, while we have kids of our own we could be picking. And come August what will we have? Keane and Maiga back with their clubs, and a load of strikers we own with no Championship experience. The lack of forward planning is an abject embarrassment.
Watch that third goal of Hitchcock's yesterday and support the financial outlay and continued persistence with Maiga, who looks like he won his place in this team in a fcking raffle. Maiga won't score a goal like that as long as he's got a hole in his ars.

I would assume that the youth coming through at man u or spurs are going to be better players then youngsters that come through our academy,otherwise why are we bothering trying to improve it. I think Steve Gallen has done a great job at QPR and must sometimes feel why he is bothering but hopefully the club are addressing this with Warren farm and are now making the up and coming players a priority . I still look out for Raheem sterling.

Yeh, our January deadline day activity suggests to me that we're really prioritising our own kids - Maiga, Keane, Doyle and Hughes in while Harriman, Ehmer and Hitchcock look elsewhere.
If I was Steve Gallen I'd take the first job I got offered somewhere else. If I was a young player at QPR I'd take the first offer I got somewhere else. What is the point of their existence here at the moment? They're wasting their time.

I would agree with the you about loaning him out for the experience if we didnt then get in another 20 year old that has done the square root of f**k all since he got here!
