Can we keep hold of McNeil ?

[SirAlec]

Hudson-Odoi is being kept out of a Chelsea team by world class player, Does anyone think McNeil would be starting games if he was at Chelsea? He wouldn’t be getting a sniff of first team football and Hudson-Odoi is getting cup games and the odd camio from the bench

I guess it depends on the age. He joined us at 14.

That constitutes one of our own in my book

If you’re hoping we can keep him, then your going to make yourself ill. The more he features, the more money the club are likely to make.

This is how we have to compete at this level, we don’t have multimillion pound shirt sponsors, kit deals and commercial income.

We need to bring players through and sell them.

How come Hudson-Odoi seems to be valued far higher yet he's played fewer matches than DM?

Media love in, the club he's at and he's played for England already.

He's also part of the England U-17 team that won the world cup at that level, McNeil wasn't.
