Seeing his stats hes only played 2 games for them - guess that doesnt hold much hope of him playing first team football for us next year?

He’s only been there a couple of weeks I would imagine his loan will be extended to next season too as long as we are still in the prem

oh ok - premier league site shows him signing in January - guess he was injured?
Whenever I wonder if any of our u23s / DS will ever break into the first eleven, I recall this comment from The Large One (below) and go off and think about something else instead.

He did indeed sign in January, pending fitness. I think the Injury only cleared up last month.

I agree re Kazenga, it's good to see him back in love with football again.
Strange claim
He had Nathan Redmond in the Birmingham side age 16 and had him playing against a Portuguese side in Europe in only his 2nd or 3rd appearance and Chris had only been in charge himself 3 or 4 matches

Redmond was already in the first team squad when CH took over, according to Wiki.
My post was in reference to the post which says that the youngsters need to be with his first team squad and trusted to do a certain job before they are trusted to play in matches
''When - and only when - Chris implicitly trusts them to do exactly what he wants them to do, he will consider them for the first team - of which the bench is usually the next step, when there's a space available.
For example, one player who has made the step up to the senior side 'would have trained 30 or 40 times with the first team squad' before being considered by Chris. It's not just a case of them being a decent footballer - it is totally the case that Chris has to trust them (he used that word deliberately) to do his given job(s).''
All I said was that he had a 16 year old in his side within 3 or 4 games of being in charge at the club himself playing in Europe

I was intrigued so Wikid it, that's all. McCleish gave him his debut so, as you say, he will have trained at least 30 to 40 times with the first team.
I'm sure we'll do that for Man City...
That wasn't my post. That was the post I found strange. Because he wouldn't have trained 30 or 40 time under Chris. He got thrown in tp a match in Europe after only the 2nd or 3rd game of the season under CH
So I found that post hard to understand - I actually know it isn't true anyhow but I was trying to be polite about it to the poster
Your own post was bang on actually, he had played before in cameo appearances under Alex Mc Leish but I don't think he had started a game or if he had he hadn't played matches in full. I don't really recall all the details but apparently he was superb in that match against the Portuguese side

I understand that but was only stating that Redmond would have trained with the first team 30 or 40 times fulfilling the criteria. Not under CH of course but it was still his choice to play the youngster. It gave me hope. The cynic in me wondered if CH wanted out of Europe!
Well. you've confused me. Here, below is the comment I quoted in my post, which was originally posted on NSC by The Large One, following an interview on The Albion Roar with John Morling the Albion Academy Manager.
This wasn't about Chris Hughton at Brimingham City 8 years ago. It was about Chris Hughton at Brighton and Hove Albion. So when you say you know it isn't true that means you are either (i) John Morling, (ii) Chris Hughton, or (iii) The Large One is just making stuff up.
Anyway, not that I particularly care either way. Let's just name check the U23s that have made the progression to the Albion match day starting 11 since Hughton has been our manager.
Oh.

Forget him. I can tell you know that he will never be a half decent Champ or PL player for the simple reason we have never produced a striker of that quality. The odds are stacked.

CH won’t let anyone near the first team until he’s drained every attacking notion out of them .
This takes longer for young strikers apparently
