It's Ballard's shirt to lose imo.
If Huggins was a few years younger I'd definitely be loaning him out only but he's 25 and barely played so that's why I'm not against him going
Assuming Leicester asking for what looks to be 40 mil plus for Fatawu, we’d be daft not to test the waters with Amad wouldn’t we
Aye time for him to go like. I would still keep alese though dos i rate him highly. But if he wants to go and play then thats fair enough

Aless falls into the same camp as Huggins for me - probably needs a move
Wouldn’t say talksport are gospel mind
This window has already been brilliant, but add Lucumi and a winger and it’s been unbelievable.
Talksport are the guys who said DCL had chosen Leeds over us before Downie corrected them and said we’d never even offered her a contract.
I'm more hesitant tbh.
The lengths a club has to go to in order to bring in a player is immense.
We've paid out a lot for Alese and Huggins, scouted them and developed them to a great degree. We've paid for their treatment, rehabilitation and involvement in the club. They've had group coaching, specialised coaching and endless assessments. They've obviously shown sufficient talent as well as the ability to connect with the squad and staff.
To throw all that away and start the whole process again, with two more similar players, needs a big investment but may ultimately fail.
In my opinion the cost far outweighs the cost of keeping faith with these two.
Who knows, if they keep picking up games and doing well, we could benefit or at worst make a good profit on them.
We pull these deals off we will still get hit with "youve broken PSR rules ( which a few have already started to say)
we're still going down
Burnley and Leeds are better,
etc

If we sell Dan Neil and Patterson that's more money towards the pot ...
... if we all concentrate together, at 6.30 pm tonight, we can do a Uri Geller and actually bend their minds
I get all that but cant just keep players beacuse weve spent money on them. if they aren't going to play then I don't see the benefit in keeping both- i get loaning them but it comes a time where you have to move on if you feel there's better out there
Alese and Huggins are mid 20s and have both barely played any minutes. We cant just keep players hoping they might reach their potential at some point, the club will know best whether to keep them or move them on
I wouldn't suggest we should.
However Alese and Huggins are similar to O'Nien, Hume, etc. If the club believe they have the talent and attitude worthy of persevering it's by far the cheapest and simplest avenue to go down. Clearly, it has to be for the right reasons but ditching players too quickly can mean losing a Ballard, Mundle or Mayenda ...
... all three have been written off by supporters, at various points, but not by the club ... how much are they now worth combined.
What I suppose I'm saying is that we're not the best judges.
Lucimi inbound being suggested
