“He’s someone with a lot of potential and went on loan to Motherwell and did really well. We’re looking to develop assets at our football club and James has got real quality that I can’t wait to work with."

Also applies to Simmons. Not every signing is for the here and now
 
Tyler Morton has a full season of Championship football under his belt though. Simons has what, 10 games - mostly subs?

Morton got all that game time because Blackburn’s manager played him. Simons didn’t because despite Rosenior’s nice words about how talented and hard-working he is and signing him permanently, he barely played him.

I don’t know, maybe Rosenior should’ve played him a bit more?
 
What's the point? Are we not developing our own players now? Just Liverpools?

You are a Teggy Bomber and I claim my £5.

Why can't a loan out be part of developing a young player? Works for lots of clubs.

If Liverpool are happy that Morton develops well here, we might be able to get some of their other good players.

He might still be. What do you expect Rosie to say 'yeah we've signed someone just to bulk out the squad, probs send him on loan next season.'

Also, some signings don't work out, its not a crime.
Don’t work out <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>
He’s not had a chance to work out

Not saying I disagree he could have had more game time last year but who could we have dropped. We had about 4 midfielders filling in all over the place
