Couldnt care less!
I like his playing.I looked around to see if there's an xisting thread on this but found none.
Reports say we will sign George Lewis latest next week. The 20 year old is already in London.
You've already named most of them!Assuming these lads will go out on loan next season at some point:
Ballard, Medley, Swanson, Smith, Olayinka, Coyle and John-Jules. The likes of Osei-Tutu, Sheaf and Balogun probably permanently.
A lot of the u18 side that dominated the Southern league will be involved next season.

I think we'll see more of Sam Greenwood. Gone a little under the radar but he still has a good reputation and excellent technical ability. If McGuinness stays fit, he'll definitely be involved. Ogungbo could potentially be a starter for the U23s next season which would be interesting as I'd like to see what Bould+Garry does with him. They've done a good job with Clarke and even Medley's looking more solid.
I think TJJ is in an interesting spot to be honest. He could conceivably go on loan but I think he'd be useful to Arteta.
Want to see TJJ finally... also would like to see Azeez step up.Great news for the academy lads with Europa league football next season, few debuts incoming....
Smith, Coyle and Medley look the most likely although I'd rather see all 3 on loan. That said, Smith looks like the kind of player that will stick around and find himself getting minutes and game time. Will certainly be interesting to see who gets the rub and who does well as a result. Nelson, Nketiah, ESR and Willock will most likely dominate those EL minutes tbf, possibly Saka too depending on whether he nails down a secure starting spot in the PL. I think we'll see an Azeez cameo at some point and Smith will probably get some games. I'm fairly certain that it won't be that many that come up, and that might not be so bad as I'd like to see how a lot of them fare on loan. With Knapper in charge, he appears to be doing a crucial job in making sure the loanees are well looked after.Great news for the academy lads with Europa league football next season, few debuts incoming....
Think it changes who goes out on loan and when. The likes of John-Jules, Balogun (if he stays), Smith and Swanson could stay until at least January now.Smith, Coyle and Medley look the most likely although I'd rather see all 3 on loan.

I don't know what next season looks like for the U23s on the fringes but it will be very interesting to see once next season starts.
JB says Swindon want to sign Matt Smith on loan. League One at a decent footballing team - sounds like a shout, although a bit lower than the level I'd like to see him get an opportunity at. That said, I'd be fine with it to a degree.Think it changes who goes out on loan and when. The likes of John-Jules, Balogun (if he stays), Smith and Swanson could stay until at least January now.
Great photo, one of the best things in football is seeing younger players play a part in your team.
Nelson's hair is an absolute state though, no wonder he has been the worst out of the four of them.
Get that sorted and I have no doubt he will be our best prospect again.
It’s rare you get a good loan for his type of player. He’s not physical and doesn’t have the legs that these teams like. Skipp at Sp**s is in a similar boat, teams lower down the leagues prefer the likes of Olayinka and Sheaf to smaller CMs. So saying that I think any type of loan is good for him.JB says Swindon want to sign Matt Smith on loan.

It'll be good experience for them, given that I don't expect many promotions, if any at all. The ones ahead should go on loan and some of the better individual U18 talents from last season should come up. It's a bit early but I think Bould will do a good job with them.It’s rare you get a good loan for his type of player. He’s not physical and doesn’t have the legs that these teams like.

I think our u23s are going to be really inexperienced this year, I’ll miss most of the season though sadly!
