Just start him tomorrow and see what he's got. Norwich starting an 18 year old Irish striker today resulted in 3 goals.
Will be sent out on loan?
I hope so. Doesn’t look like he‘s going to get a chance in our first team for now.
Needs to be playing regularly and show Mourinho what he‘s missing out on.
José reckons he is too young to go on loan.
Should send him to Boro , let him learn from Ireland’s greatest striker, would be poetic
If you're good enough, you're old enough!
Too young to go on loan, too young to start/play in the PL?
Both, John.
"He’s 17 years old. I don’t think at the age of 17 it’s good for you to go on loan to a Championship club or to go abroad to another country."

I do find it curious, but have you seen the quotes I posted?
Not before now. If he went to a club where they actually used him, I think he'd feel just as "home". It's not like he haven't moved before. We signed him in '17
I mean Mourinho might not be the best coach in developing young players but he certainly knows more about it than me and you?
So because we don't know anything about developing youth, we should trust someone who's never been successful at this?
Plenty to lose Malc. I’m pretty sure Mourinho’s reputation for winning trophies wasn’t forged by bringing on unproven 17 year old strikers at 1-1 with 10 minutes to go.
Lest we forget that Harry Kane was basically a nobody until we gave him an actual shot over Soldado - who at the time was more Solnogoal
