It'd be nice if we could have two or three around the fringes of the first-team squad this season. Abbott apart the production line has dried up somewhat.

The bar is so high now though. I read this morning we have the 13th most valuable squad in the world. You've got to be a special young player to break through into that.

Riko Robinson is a good player. Kalum Thompson is possibly the most talented of those. I'd add those two to the list of ones to watch.
Gardner will probably go on loan or be sold.

Gardner looks like he is off on loan to Oldham.

Surprised at that. Had an awful time at Chester in the 6th tier. At 21 I see no benefit in keeping a player who's never going to make the PL.

He signed a 3 year deal so he is still under contract. The club might still look to move him on.
