Good lad Louie, I'll be interested to see whether he gets a chance with us next season.

I agree, he looks very talented. Can we recall him in January?
Sounded like it from Challinor's comment above.

Although I would hope we would be feeling more bullish in January than turning to Barry. Got a look of fool's gold to it.
That being said, every game that goes by in this insipid run while Barry is sticking the ball in the net for fun, you do wonder...

He is on fire!

Got 2 in the end.
Two and a half… first goal was all him too, showed good pace, I thought.

Does seem to be a bit of a one trick pony. Cut in from the left, hit it with his right when he gets to the box. Won't be able to get away with that for long in a higher division.

Think he's being used as a wide forward which gives him a chance of being involved with us at some stage, if he goes through the levels.

He's now got some physique to him. He's still pretty quick on the left and seems to have tricky feet. He does look like a player of some promise.
If we continue to have injury challenges, he may become a useful playing asset.

Worrying comment on the EFL highlights programme re us considering a £12 my bid for Louie in Jan. I hope not.

Decent price. Include some add-ons, might be good for all parties.

For a run-of-the-mill loanee, yes.

I think Louie might just have something special about him.

I’m not saying he isn’t, I’ve not seen him play enough, but are special players often playing League 1 football at 21?

Obviously I hope he becomes a superstar, with us.

That £12m would likely free up about £50m/£60m in terms of spending in January.

Ollie Watkins was a League 2 player at that age.

Of course there are exceptions, my question was whether it’s often the case.

Also Watkins is useless and can’t control or finish, so probably should still be in League 2.
