Not necessarily him but I think there’s a decent argument for moving on some of the young players soon. On the cheap but with a big sell on clause or a cheap buy back. Let them get on with their careers with some insurance for us. Is it Pennington the centre half who we’ve just renewed? Absolutely no point in that
Depends on potential, age and what we have currently though doesn’t it.
I’m all for making sure these young players get a shot either here or elsewhere to forge a good career, especially if they’ve come through the academy, but it’s a fine balance.
Dowell very much ticks all the boxes as a keep though and I really can’t see any argument that makes a very talented, highly thought of, young, local player being sold presently.
Maybe that'd change if he wants away but so far he seems happy with his career path.
