That would make sense Gary and give a better pathway for potential youngsters for the 1st team also, and covers this 8 player European requirements also.We have 6 players for the 3 front positions even if MJ left. Abada, Forrest, Kyogo, GG, Maeda and Jota. Beyond that we need to create a pathway for emerging young talent to come through so rather than loan in someone I would promote from within. Moffat or Vata to replace MJ in the squad (the other to go out on loan and get games).
Seen we just signed a youngster from West ham also, so Gary have you any idea how long it takes for a youngster outside of Scotland to become eligible to cover this 8 player European requirement, only looking at the potential bigger picture
