Because they’ll stick him in the stiffs and not waste his time training with the first team and not playing any football whatsoever.

They play 2 up front most weeks which might suit him more than our lone frontman system? Maybe Rooney has made it clear he can't see game time for him here any time soon. It'll be interesting to see how much he has played at Swansea come the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, I haven't seen much of our youth football so wasn't aware exactly where he played. From his first team cameos he struck me as a striker being stuck out on the wing and not really suited to it. Presumably Cooper must rate him highly and has promised him being in rotation with the other strikers at Swansea? As far as I can see they have Lowe, Ayew and this guy Morris from the MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sounds like this one is done then. Not one that’s going to have much short term impact on our options, but I do wonder if it’s one we will regret in time... we will see...

Shang Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 3 hours ago, Srg said: Not sure why Whittaker thinks he will get more games at Swansea. I think it's because Swanseas backup wingers/inside forwards are getting on a bit now. Wayne Routledge is still there and he's 36! Ayew is 31 and Morris who they've just got in is a loan for the rest of the season. Looks like they've got an eye for Whittaker to be one for the future once Routledge has retired. Give him the minutes they would have given Routledge, learn the way they play and then he can hit the ground running for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that’s all it comes down to, and Wayne obviously doesn’t think he’s ready yet. Difficult for us to tell based on so little game time, but he sees him everyday in training. rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was used at CF when Stretton was injured for the U18s. The U23s had Trialist for the whole of last season so hasn't really had an opportunity to play CF since stepping up from the U18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
