The Ajax method for me is what we should be looking to do. I know we have brought through some good youngsters in the past but its always been very infrequent. We just need a consistent string of youth players coming through. Ajax have the benefit of having a fully fledged B team plhaying against pros in the league every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think until the league is won Gerrard will go strong. After its won, factors including us still being in Europe/ the SC resuming could see more minutes for the likes of Patterson. And if Gerrard sees the benefit of that then thats what will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it’s not his decision to make. But replacing Tav for the odd game and subbing him occasionally will not go down well, anywhere tbh. it will be like kicking him in the baws. Which is why it won’t happen imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly kicking him in the baws if the league is won and Tav gets a rest for some games and his understudy gets some needed experience. I actually hope and expect Gerrard does this when the title is secured- let's Patterson play some league games and Tav gets some of them too plus SC and the EL whilst we're in it.

The previous good crop of players like Vermaelen, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Aldeweireld, Klaasen etc didn't come through that system. Klaasen I think may have played a couple of games for the B team in the second division, but that was already after he had made his first team debut because they got a second division spot in 2013. At Ajax for a long time it's been more about the mentality of each year we try and produce 3 players for the first team and actually giving opportunities to players when others are sold. It would take someone really brave to implement that here. I don't think our fans would accept selling Ryan Kent and then replacing him with Kai Kennedy.

SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,699 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’d be tempted to sign a backup right back in the summer and get Nathan out on loan. Sure he’s good to have around however it’s not going to be good for his development long term being stuck on the bench all year only getting the odd 45 minutes in a cup game or 20 minutes when we are 3-0 up in the league. At his age he needs to play to improve and 6 months on loan to a SPFL/English Championship side could do him a world of good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter huistra 1,740 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Been saying for ages this kid looks good really glad he's been given a newer and longer deal definitely will make an impact in the coming years. Next season will be a massive if we make the CL so I'm sure he will get more games so Tav is not over played and is fresher for the bigger games.
