Loan Watch 23/24

He’s lightning quick with an eye for goal. The retained list suggests he’ll get a chance too. Hope we let him play Europe qualifiers for Shelbourne though

 

When do we get him back?

 

Looks as if he might have come off injured, subbed on 32 minutes in Shelbourne 2-1 away win at St Patrick's.

No sign of Taylor in St Patrick's match day squad, maybe injured, as I see he is staying there until the end of the Irish season.

Cracking cross for the first goal. Took a nasty elbow to go off injured so isn’t long term. He’s definitely the best home grown prospect on the books at the minute.

 

Do we have the option to end his loan early?

He needs to be in our pre season and either play for us or a league 1 team for the new season

 

I imagine so, he does have the chance to play European qualifiers though around pre season time will be interesting if we let him or not

 

I'd rather play him than Lokilo.

 

Watching Will Jarv tonight. Surprised he made it through for this game given how bloodied he was

 

Oscar came off the bench in the 90th min in bahias win in the cup

 

Jarvis just scored, good penalty. Not done much so far but Shamrock are dominating the ball not letting him get into the game

 

Brace for Jarvis, he can’t have had more than 20 touches. He made the second one with a brilliant pass leading to another penalty. Must be a way for him to get a chance moving forward

 

I thought he’d have a change for us after Jan. Surely needs a go in and around the 1st team before we make any decision on him.

 

Oscar came on for 15 mins as they lost on penalties to 2nd div side in the cup

 

Alfie Taylor with a goal for St Pats this eve

 

It was a reserve side playing in the County cup, but a good sign nonetheless.

 

He’s needed a boost to try break into the first team so hopefully he kicks on

 

Hopefully that will start to get him more game time, as up till now he has been under used. Jevon Mills though, is getting a regular game for Bohemians, so with Jarvis doing well again at Shelbourne 2 out of the 3 I guess not so bad.

 

Celi Y was an unused sub in Universitario 4-0 win over Chankas

It is more or less halfway through Peru season, it will be interesting to see whether Celi will stay there to the end of their season or we have another plan. Maribor might be an option, but not sure of whether he would be eligible or not

Vizela season now over so Lokilo will be back, though he did get good game time, so maybe there is a chance he might return there permanently.

 

Am I alone in finding the Ceri situation a bit bizarre.

He's our player yet I don't know if he's ever even been to England.

He's 22 with over 100 appearances in the Peruvian Premier League (possibly most of those are late subs appearances - I don't know) and he has a 1 goal in ten scoring rate. (Mostly early in his career).

He's a full Peruvian international (albeit only 1 game).


But he's barely made an appearance in the last 2 years.


Will we ever see him in a City shirt? (At any standard)?
