Interesting to read Crewe fans thoughts on Brad. Another year or so on loan and this lad could be pushing for a squad place?... Btw he has hit 8 goals in 19 appearances for Crewe this season, from midfield! http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=168&fid=90&sty=2&act=1&mid=2112966476
Can't believe we've kept hold of him for so long to be honest, the lad's 21 and never had a sniff at the first team. All the signs suggest he hasn't got a future with us, but you never know, he could prove to be useful next season. At the very worst, we'll get a decent amount for him from a Championship or League 1 side...
If Pardew and Beardsley think he has potential to improve, then another year might be sensible. If not, a warm handshake and best wishes for the future.
