They can't have much faith in him there, they called back 19 yr old Nathan Lowe from his loan at Walsall, who was scoring for fun there but was very raw, not surprised to see him benched after a hand full of games and not even make the squad for the last 10 or so. And he's ahead of Tezgel
Unfortunately we had to let more than a handful of our u21's go at the end of the season. We have to back fill the squad somewhat if we are to preserve our
What use is our u21 system anyway. Few if any players ever come through the youth ranks at any pl club anymore. We got the two Grays and we only got the one season out of ar hie. For the obvious cost of the youth and under 21 teams they don’t generate much for the senior team

Gray £40 million. Summerville £25 million (+add ons) Cresswell £5 million (+add ons) Add loan fees for Gelhardt, Greenwood, Crew, Gyabi etc.

Unfortunately, they usually like to pit Championship winners vs Premier League winners so it will probably be Liverpool at Anfield knowing our luck
