Luca Williams-Barnett

When you’re a young player in the academy and you see that almost everyone from the classes ahead of you was sold off without ever getting the chance to establish themselves in the first team, well, you tell yourself you’d have a better shot at another club.
And that’s going to be even more damaging for the future, because many future prospects will end up at other clubs—or abroad—rather than with us.

That is the real disaster

Never mind there will always be an average overseas player we can pick up to fill a place a youngster could have filled.
I think this is an ideal season to try out our young players, we haven't settled as a team yet and aren't going to be competitive in any competition until we have.
Apart from Savio I don't see any player in the team who can break the lines and carry the ball into dangerous areas, Williams-Barnett is a player who could be able to do it given the chance.
 
I'm sure he will get a chance. A tricky season with so few games, makes rotation very difficult. I definitely think his attributes stand him in good stead, to make make more of an impact than Moore did, when given the opportunities.
 
It's not only about giving youth a chance, he is exactly the type of player we are crying out for; someone to get you out your seat, someone who makes the admission fee worth it. Build the team around him.

Yeh, I think people would scoff at the idea, but he looks levels above where he is and with no loan available I think we should be now thinking about saying "go on lad, show us what you can do" not least because the alternatives look utterly uninspiring.

Floyd Samba at City got an entire Carabao cup and impressed, would like us to be a little less frightened to take the risk esp with LWB
