Illing jr woukd get plenty of minutes here. A perfect player to start in the domestic cupsWho would he play instead of in domestic cups? And how much would he develop playing a handful of games against potentially lower league opposition for us? If he's not ready to push for a starting spot now, a season (or half) playing every week at a high level is the best option for him. I'd only be questioning this move if it was revealed he threw a strop after 1 game not being in the squad and demanded it.But thats on the assumption we dont pick up injuries whichis likley considering the volume of games we will play. We have three players coming back from long term injuries and we know dont know for sure how that pans out. Then add in ramsey as well who seems injury prone. I think its a big risk.I do hope there is a recall clause should injuries arise or he doesnt get as many minutes at bologna as we would have hoped

No player hits the road running after an ACL Eamonn. Buendia I don't expect anything from until Nov/ Dec, Mings, new year onwards at the earliest. Kamara I don't think was as bad, so may be ready sooner.
Last August we loaned-in Lenglet, Zaniolo and then acquired Rogers in January to cover the crocked trio above. They're back now or about to come back having had the best rehab an athlete could dream of. We gotta trust that.
I was equating Zaniolo as cover for Buendia (I know they're not exactly the same but he did arrive after Emi's injury) and Rogers with Ramsey (who are more similar).
Champions League PSR rules have made it a lot harder for us to manoeuvre. We're being punished for our success.
Nope. Was on the bench but didn't come on. Weirdly he's listed as a striker on the thing I was looking at.
He is closer to a striker than a left back in my opinion.
