Could the logic also be similar to Parrott with Skipp. At Championship level they should be considered players the team is relying on, they are more than just another player in the squad, they've been brought in as young players who believe their level is higher and need to learn to dominate in the Championship?

Gametime is more important then the level they are playing at. Great loans for both Skippy and Parrott.

Atlético Baleares proved a very good stage for the other Shashoua to impress so I hope it's a good move for Armando.

Both are very talented players which I like a lot, and both have a good chance of having long successful careers. 10-15 years ago they might have made it here, but the quality in front of them was just too much. Though it wouldn't be a shock if either sibling went on to be fixture in a top european league somewhere.

Madueke's hattrick last week


He could very likely be starting for them next season which I find amusing as they will have replaced a player we bought off them for 30m, with a player from our academy for free.

He looks good but............SC Verl is a semi pro club that plays in one of the five level four regional leagues in Germany.

They’re the equivalent of St Albans City.

Ye I imagine the opposition not great but its more what he's doing relative to his teammates as they're all facing the same team.

Unfortunately, Sam Shashoua's second season at Atlético Baleares (he joined Tenerife but the loaned him eo Baleares) wasn't as good. Not sureif he was injured but he only started 2 and 1 off the bench. Armando started 1 with 3 off the bench for them.

He was injured yeah, with a reoccurring back injury Was out 5 months, loaned out by tenerife and then he got stuck in quarantine after going back to England. When he played he was great, and was their best player in the play offs. He's had a really bad year with injuries, and early on didn't manage to break through at Tenerife. But there is nothing to be worried about regarding his future.

Is he any good?

I liked him when he was an u16 he played up a year and looked good. If we weren't very good at producing CBs I'd say he might be a loss but as it is we have and had a load of CBs better than him. I dont think he's quite good enough here but Poch obviously saw something in him so who knows.

Long story short no real loss as there's no way he should be getting chances ahead of Tanganga, Eyoma or Walcott. I also thought Binks and Brown were better CBs when he was here and we have other good ones in the pipeline a lot better than him.

Hes done well to get another 'big' club to pick him up.

Im more interested in what happens ti Hinds though

We're fielding a couple of trialists tonight. I'll report back as soon as I've worked out who they are.

Probably Dion McGhee, from United academy, said to have trial with us.
