The club seem to be going the extra mile to give Osborne a final chance to recapture his early promise which was cut short by injury. Wen he broke his leg we were told it was not too serious, and the period of 10 weeks was even mentioned as the time before he would be training. It then went quiet for a long time and his recovery was quite tortuous. He seems fine physically now but is not the same player.
I assumed we would have been paying most of his wages, leaving Newport only a lowish Div Two wage to pay? Had his stay been a success, it would have enhanced the value of our player.
Plus Edinburgh said he was keen to renew four other loans. Does not reflect well on Pigott plus the fact that he did not impress at Gillingham either earlier this year.
That's not a bad example. Tosan was given every chance to progress by the club, but wasn't able to make the step up. And if you look at players like Ben Davisson and Harry Osborne whose injuries stalled promising careers, the club went well beyond the extra mile to set them up and give them a chance to rebuild their careers at a lower level.
Silly argument. We are talking about some allegedly hot prospect being courted by a number of top clubs. Do you think he (or even his parents) are going to be motivated to join Charlton because several years ago we had some total unknown who was given every chance but didn't make it? Hardly the stuff of a young kid's dreams, is it? But that is the best that NewsNow can come up with.
