That tube...Oh look who’s piped up...
But DCL got lucky that he could play games as we had nobody else worth a place, that isn't the case here, he has to sit on the bench until DCL gets injured or completely loses form. The chances DC L got don't usually pan out, the we want success now brigade don't allow for young players to develop and so it makes no sense as we won't play him exactly the same as Kean.
It leaves him in a world of trouble.If we signed this lad where would this leave Ellis Simms as he's a year older?

I think it should have been done last year mate, Brands really needs to sort out this under 23 system, players are just not developing under Unsworth and the current system. So technically inferior to nearly every team we play.Writing would be on the wall. Maybe a loan to get some transfer value out of him?
Yeah, guess it is a bit like the Kean situation. Just seems like he’s gone from being their bright shining light to sellable in a short space of time but I haven’t followed his situation or Bayern particularly closely. Now that DCL is so established and rarely seems to get injured can see why a young prospect who won’t be demanding to start every game makes sense as back up option. As various have said, sure beats Tosun!It's like Kean, playing at Juventus, international caps at a young age, touted as the next big thing, comes to us and it doesn't work out, goes to PSG and rips it up there. Even though Kean you could say was further ahead in his development, a change might be what Zirkzee needs.

Nope.
The club stuck with Calvert-Lewin. The player himself revealed how Brands wouldn't sign another striker so he was particularly keen to reward that show of faith.
Even when Moise Kean come in, Calvert-Lewin was the preferred choice.

...we‘ve been struggling for striker support for large parts of this season, yet Simms isn’t involved in first team squads. I think that says a lot.
