Yes sorry he is (just- with a September birthday). Clearly a case of height making a difference. The disadvantage to lads not making a step up to 1st team is they are not being challenged enough for their needs. So a loan is better if they have no chance of getting called up as is the case for Saints attacking positions. Koeman seems less confident of giving attacking teenage U21s a chance to shine and show what they an do in the premier league than he does in other positions bar keeper of course. Perhaps that will change next season if Saints get European football? If nothing else he may then use the domestic cups to develop more home grown talent. Assuming he's still around of course.
