I didn't say he is. I am concerned that if he does get held back he might be off.
I know!
Believe it or not, I am not at all averse to him going out on loan in January. In fact, as long as it was the 'right' loan I'd be quite pleased. But ............... I would like a couple of ten minute...
No matter how short of their twentieth birthday they are, they're still teenagers.
I'm not going to bother trawling the internet to find more teenagers who have played in the PL, good examples or otherwise. They exist, have existed, and will exist. Oh well, some people still seem to cling to the...
OK, so I'll add to my broad point: Ashley Cole, teenage PL player at Arsenal. Plus Beckham, Giggs (although he was a couple of years pre-PL) and G. Neville. Of course, you can't win anything with kids, we all know that..................................

2015-2016 thirteen appearances (although I don't knowhow many of those were before his 20th.birthday in January 2016).
Incidentally, his teammate at Chelsea, Izzy Brown, played in the PL for two different clubs before his 20th.birthday - in...
No idea - I'm no statto. Rooney did it, Loftus-Cheek did it, Trent Alexander-Arnold did it, Ryan Sessignon is doing it. There's probably more - just not at Brighton though!
Time for that to change, maybe.............................
Mustn't let this one slip through our fingers. Put him on the bench soon to try and keep him happy (and give him a few minutes to keep him interested). Hoffenheim in January? - yes, but only on loan, not sold please (unless of course his few minutes on from the bench have given him the break...
