Loanwatch 2022/23

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hope Huddersfield still pick up a bit now anyway.

Nothing to do with wanting Blues to be relegated....

It was Huddersfield who exercised their right to cut short his loan apparently.

Weird.  Named in the Championship team of the month recently I understand.  Not a bad feat given how crap Huddersfield are.

Had a quick scan through a few forum posts and the Huddersfield fans don't seem to think he's been very good.

Given how he's been used by them I can't say I'm surprised, it's just been a bad loan and it's good all round that he's back with us, either to find a move that's a better fit or to give Emery a chance to look at him in training. His pace gives him a big advantage which makes it worth us not worrying over one bad spell at a club that are a mess.

Azaz back in Plymouth team after a long lay-off. Came on as late substitute against Bolton, provided assist for injury time equaliser. Started against  Cheltenham, and provided 2 assists in a 4 - 2 win.

PS Tyreik Wright scored.

PPS. No he didn't. It was another Wright.

Some player Azaz by the sounds of it. Anyone know what the plans for him are?

Whole season at Plymouth (League 1?) I think then reassess in the summer, maybe up to the Championship?

Seems to be doing well, but he’s 22, not 18.

Yeah, but also it's not like he's come through the academy exactly - joined the club in 2021 from Albion having not played for them, so presumably we weren't expecting him to make the step up to the first team straight away. And he signed a contract extension this summer, so again suggests that we see something in him.

I'd be inclined to get him on loan on the Championship next season and see where he is then.

It's tough but I reckon he's one that we saw as a 50/50 who'd either improve quickly and be a decent option of squad cover or who'd do enough for us to turn a profit after a couple of seasons.

But last summer we extended his contract presumably knowing that he was likely to spend the season in League One. Maybe we're fattening him up for market, but he does seem to be improving quickly to be (we bought a player who was League 2 standard, and within 18 months he looks too good for League 1).

I'd really just see how he gets on in the Championship next season. But he is at a stage where if he's not looking like a Premier League player at that point then it'd be time to sell up.

Very good chance Plymouth will be in Championship next season. If so, I anticipate they will do everything they can to keep him, whether loan or buy. Considering his age, he could have some difficult decisions to make.

They absolutely love him down in Devon. My mate was at the game yesterday & picked him out for praise. I always saw him as a revenue gaining player. We develop him for a bit & then sold him to make a bit of profit for that drawbridge raising FFP farce, but last year he was immense for Newport & then again this year for Plymouth, despite going up a league level & being injured for a period. I would look at him next year for Plymouth in the Championship & go from there. But he does looks very useful.

Two Wrights don't make a wrong.

[dcdavecollett]

Finn looks a useful player but the amount of space he had to deliver the ball for one of his assists was ridiculous.
