Probably Kaunda out first I'd think. Depends how much Njoku is likely to play with Lavery, Loft and new guy in the team. If we're playing two up front then probably quite a lot, but if hes not going to play much my preference would always be a loan for a young player. I'd hope he stays personally, I'm sure Monk has a better idea of what's best for him/the team though. Andrew I would rather us keep Brandon than sign some wannabe like JK Gordon as a last gasp desperate deal

Has Brandon scored at league 1 level? Tick
Has he assisted? Tick
Has he been involved in the build up to goals? Tick
... but he's only played 4 games though and is a young player.
Oohh... send him out on loan then.
Please, end the conversation. He has to stay.

Michael Owen played for England when he was 18 Well that was irresponsible. He was a young player, and needed to be protected. Shame on Glenn Hoddle for playing him.

It's not about protecting players. Not sure I've seen anyone mention that.
It's about development, loaning out young players is pretty common across football to give them experience they may not receive at their parent club. I suspect he'll stay, but with (hopefully) another striker by the weekend and Loft coming back from injury he might find his chances restricted.
I'm happy either way because we're doing what's best for him.

I'm happy either way because we're doing what's best for him. Andrew I understand the logic of loaning players out... But now that he's proven he can make an impact at League 1 level, there is absolutely no reason why we should be loaning him out again. End of. 4 games. One goal. Two assists. Involved in the build up of one other. If that doesn't scream 'keep this guy!' I really don't know what does.

*1 assist. Although actually I think officially that was taken away from him in the end, sadly.

You're right, one assist.
Should also be mentioned that 4 games is probably about 60 mins max of game time.

I've got my popcorn ready for the meltdown when he joins Southend on a 6 month loan.

Meltdown? Difference of opinion, that's all.
