We should be sending another talented youngster to stockport and arrange a friendly with them in the summer as a good will gesture

This really could have a big impact on their promotion chances

A minute’s applause for them before the Brighton game?

Why? We owe them nothing, we've loaned them a player and they're in a much better position than they'd be if we hadn't. If we organise a friendly for every club we loan a player to, we'll be absolutely knackered by August.

Dont get it. He is on fire let him stay there. Harsh on Stockport i think

He’s good in that division but we need to see if he can step up and do the same in The Championship. Stockport would have been aware of the pros and cons when doing the deal.

Pretty straight forward….he’s our player not Stockports, if he stays there he will not have a huge value as he’s only done it at League 1 level….good few months in Champ (see Archer) can give a good uplift on fee expected.

Alternately, he is a bench option for first team here and gets a few chances at Prem level to see if he can step up.

I think this is harsh on Stockport
No. They would return him  double quick if he had bombed. However I do hope we did it because we have a better plan.

Presumably he’ll be heading to the Championship then.

It's definitely harsh on Stockport, but I have no doubt he'd be staying there if Louie himself didn't fancy playing at a higher level.

But the reality is, this is a business. And we have an asset that has done very well in League One, which might mean he's worth at least a couple of million come the summer.  But if he can repeat anything close to that form in the Championship then we suddenly have an asset that's worth at least ten million. 

For context, that's the difference between us being able to pay a new player £150k a week next season, or not.  And if him moving to the Championship ultimately means more money for our first team in the summer, then I'm all for it.

Personally speaking, I'd love Louie to thrive in the Championship and maybe even show a performance level that means Unai might have him back amongst our own first-team next season - however, I am also 100% behind the plan to get him playing at a higher level so he's worth even more if we want to cash in next summer as part of our squad building plans.

Boro I reckon .

The last couple of kids we've sent there have ended their respective loans worth comfortably north of £10m, so it would be nice to see Louie do the same!

Feel that we should be giving smaller clubs in the pyramid like stockport abit of support. Lets show some compassion to these clubs. It wasnt long ago we were in the Championship struggling and almosy went bankrupt so ww know how hard it is in the championship let alone in league one.

We've sent Barry to them twice, so I assume we're happy with how they handle loans and how he's developed since being there. If we have any more young players who we feel would benefit from a spell at that level then I'm sure we'll do repeat business with them in the future. Not sure we need to be sending them someone else just because we've recalled a player though, especially if it was in the contract that we could.
