Sneaky suspicion that they aren't looking at Illing Jr as a forward but as an inverted FB.
The other different thing about the inverted FB role is that because they play inside and more like a box to box player, the side and strong foot isn't as important.
But then UTD have money to go after Nusa or whoever else we like... this is good but not good.
It takes less than a minute to score a goal, if he makes the most of his opportunities when he comes on, he will be given further chances. Richie is not going to leave but if he did I would trust Ange's judgement.

Decent movement but his finishing is shit
We don't know if he will be back before the end of the season, if not then preseason will be the time for his opportunities.
Doesn't change the question.
Richy stays then our CF rotation is
Richy
Son
Maybe Werner
Veliz/Scarlett/Parrott
It looks most likely that Richy stays now so Veliz is - at best - third in line for minutes at CF but if Nusa is here next season and we have signed Werner permanently then he's likely ahead of Veliz for CF minutes as well.
Where is that minute to score coming from?

Probably about 2 grand's worth but deffo don't think much of his mum's shopping bag.
Not sure if that's an issue for us TBH
Being local, the votes are always a bit biased and hostile towards the refereesYes, and thanks for doing so, it was genuinely interesting. I was just making a joke about an unusual phrase they used.
I have no idea either. Just fucking around. I do like the idea of UTD not being able to sign players tho.
Think they're more focused on getting players out the door as opposed to getting players in, at least for the time being.
Ten Hag said as much but that could be because he's been told there isn't cash.
I guess it depends on how the new owners weigh up the risk of investing in a new player for Ten Hag vs the risk of missing Top4/5. Maybe they look at Top 4/5 as already a long shot regardless of bringing a player and could even be looking at their own manager for next season.
Not necessarily.
It can come from league matches, cup matches, European matches. There are lots of things that could happen to give him a chance.
The lad can't play competitive games if he's injured, so Ange's only chance to assess if he remains injured is preseason games.
Ok,
So you weigh up a young player's development against the chances that things "could happen" to give him a chance to play.
If you look at those 2 things, you probably take the best decision for the player and your investment and send him on loan to develop. IMO.
But maybe I'm wrong and something happens that gets him on the pitch ahead of Richy, Son and maybe Werner at CF.
You're just jealous because I'm worth it
