    If Rodgers doesnt integrate him to the first team squad this season we'll be saying goodbye.

    Very poignant that McManus has chosen this moment, to obviously push for lads future here. Hopefully its with Rodgers' contrivance and theres a path forward for the kid.

    Have liked him any time I’ve seen him and by all accounts was very good on loan, would like to see him given a chance.

    More than happy for him to be our back up left back but we as a support must be patient. We all want youth to come through but we also love shiny new signings :56:

    Keep saying it but this is why he shouldn't have been sent back to the Austrian second tier last year again. Was counter productive..

    It should've been a top flight in Austria or Scotland, gearing him up for coming back here..

    He looked quality last pre season and most of us would've been happy to go with KT and Anderson as the homegrown understudy, so long as he was progressing well. But now we just don't know and it's too big a leap from the levels..

    We've no handled this well. 21 and a player that's been highly rated for years at the club, who's been tracked by big clubs wanting him, yet only had 2 seasons at a small second tier Austrian outfit..

    Don't really buy this loan standard stuff. He's a young lad who went off to a foreign country and played a significant amount of game time at a young age. Loaning out players has not been advantageous in recent times with regard first team integration. If he's good enough at this stage give him a shot.

    We don't handle the development of the youth players at all well. Particularly with choices on loans.

    Annoyed me when we would constantly send players to league 1 or league 2 in Scotland.

    Anyone have any information on his contract situation? I was under the impression his contract was coming to an end this summer. Really like the look of him and hope he gets a chance.

    Think the club have been looking to get him sorted with a new deal

    If you send a 16 or 17 year old to league 1 in Scotland I think that's fine, and certainly has a place as your first loan. An 18 year old should be in the Championship at minimum though.

    To be fair teams have to want our players too. I think a lot of top flight clubs now would rather develop their own players as they’re usually of equal standard to be fair
