The thinking on this loan to Sweden could be that he gets playing time over the English off-season. Idea being that he can then hit the ground running once the Swedish season finishes, or we can recall him in August (if we have such a clause). I suspect we will give him another go. I keep forgetting that he's only 20. @Septic Peg why Hegeler? Tinnion suggests Engvall has a future here. So I'm with you Ajax on this one. 51 minutes ago, JamesBCFC said: Cant agree wirh the Hegeler shout. Theres been talk from LJ about using him as someone to build the side around next year. I know he hasnt had the most game time, but in a relegation fight its better to go back to tried and tested (Smith and Pack) in midfield, than wait for a player to adapt to our leagues speed. Hegeler is class, or was class in his first few games, especially as a defender. In midfield it was too fast for him. But you're right, spend the pre-season getting him adjusted, and he could be like a new player. If not, I'd expect us to make a profit on the €300k. 18 minutes ago, !james said: Its common practise for some clubs to announce both together see examples below from Peterborough and Sheff Utd: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39824335 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39784935 Peterborough is their policy. Any player in their final year is teansfer listed. They don't like to take the risk of a player going on a Bosman OOC. not sure about Sheffield Utd though.

Mad Cyril Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am doing really well on transfer speculation cliche nonsense bingo. - "pay up his contract" - check - "give him a coaching role" - check - "find a talented young striker from the continent" - check. I just need a "offer him a pay as you play deal" and a "go get him Steve" and I will have a full house. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting that he's only 20. @Septic Peg why Hegeler? Thought it was reluctantly agreed for him to go abroad when we wanted him loaned out to a domestic club. Problem of him playing through the summer and potentially coming back in August is that should he start to feature in the 1st 11, he'll be burnt out by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I wish people would stop saying LJ doesn't rate Engvall. It's quite clear he was in the same category as Taylor Moore, Josh Brownhill and Callum O'Dowda. Brought in to develop and cover here and there if needed. Gustav like Taylor Moore found himself behind more experienced players(and Tammy) thus went on loan. He's got a future here and suggest from what I've seen of him he can be a Matty Taylor type with the better touch and footballing brain. I only expect Little and Wilbraham to be mentioned along with maybe a few youngsters who they haven't renewed(if any). I know some clubs say these players are free to leave as well but I can't see many if any being said. Our club doesn't seem to be that forward about anything in the transfer market so if players like Hegeler, Reid, Tomlin, GON and Golbourne are free to leave the club then we will tell them and their agents but probably wouldn't publicly state as such.

So I've heard. Just what we need, another inexperienced coach. No sentiment for me. Thank Wilbs and Little for the fantastic contribution to the club but release. Make Bobby Reid, O'Neil and possibly Tomlin available for transfer. Same with Fielding if a new GK is lined up. May sound tough but if we want to progress we have to be ruthless with our budget.

JustinCider Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hegeler won't be going anywhere. He was brought in specifically for his Champions League experience that will be crucial for us in 3 seasons time. I know this for a fact as the voices in my head told me so.
