Surprised at the buy option. And despite his red cards, which clouds judgement, there is a player there. Additionally, I don’t see anyone in the academy in that right CB position ahead of him. So he’s literally next in line, and should be part of the production system. Albeit, he has no senior games to this name and is already 21. Maybe a younger 18 year old RCB signing is lined up, as this doesn’t appear to make sense to me on the face of it. |  | |  |

Akindileni is promising and, you could say, next in line. But, I hope he gets another loan out, maybe for half a season. |  | |  |

Akindelini is a LCB. Whereas Smith is a RCB. Both were in the production line for these two different positions, so something has changed. |  | |  |

Just to add that the loan strategy is non-existent for a supposed development club. All the dev squad signings should have been out of loan learning their trade. If Smith for example had been loaned out last season, we’d know more. But now he’s already 21 and with not even a handful of senior appearances to his name. It’s a bodge job on the loan front. |  | |  |

Have to agree with that, albeit we don’t know there were any moves from the Club to try and loan em out |  |

There’s a young lad on trial atm who’s a RCB - Oisin McDonagh. He played against the PFA team and looked very capable. 18 yo. Alex Wilkie also gets overlooked because Tylon Smith was signed with a bit more of a fanfare after him. |  |

I thought Smith looked promising but at 6 foot he"s not the giant we need as back-up for Dunne. |  | |  |

I wouldn’t rely on trademarkt or other sites for height. They are almost always wrong, especially for young players who are still growing. I’ve seen Smith in person and he’s far taller than 6”. |  | |  |

From the times I’ve seen Wilkie last season he looks promising but as u say gets overlooked by some of our foreign imports , he’s an old school centre back and pretty decent on the ground as well |  |

Good post. Again we've got a supposed promising player get to 21 with zero experience. I can see it happening with a few more now. Sutton should be out on loan again. Pearman needs a loan desperately. Esq too. Us it seems Larakeche is now surplus. He's been with us for maybe 3 seasons and going nowhere. |  | |  |

I'm going to take a guess and say that Smith was never bought to be in the first team. Nourry has said many times that if a player is not in the first team squad by 19/20 they will be moved on. Smith was bought at 20 yet had never played a senior game anywhere. He was bought, get a couple of Championship games under his belt, get a international cap then flog him with a big % sell on clause just incase. Next! In defence of the club regarding loans, if the players aren't great no one will take them. This season is different though: Bennie at Dundee U has been mentioned, but also Adjetey-Brew at 18yo gone to Worthing in NL. Played the full 90 at LB on Saturday in the first game of the season and they won 3-2 away at Carlusle. Pearman might be going to Swindon, but he's already 20yo, so I imagine this loan will be used to increase his value for a summer sale next year. Get 30 starts in L2 and sell him to the MLS or something. It's not just about getting players into our 1st team it's also maximising value for sales, something we have been awful at for decades. |  |

Obviously not as easy in real life but I remember in some old Football Manager games you could pad out your reserve squad with cheap young players that were fairly easy to then sell after a year or two with sell on clauses to bolster your transfer funds for the main squad. |  | |  |

'...far taller than 6". That's a relief. It might have made him even smaller than our talented, but, pint-sized midfielders. |  | |  |

Think anything much over 6 feet is his hair.. He doesn't look as big as Dunne to me, and although he's a good player potentially, I think we need more height and physicality in the team and especially at CB. |  | |  |

What, like a gnarly looking and seasoned war-dog to bring on when the shop needs shutting? I'd still be tempted to get a like-for-like replacement for Cook, ideally 18 months/2 years younger, but nasty looking and wizened. Morrison and JCS as our back up CHs don't inspire confidence. |  |

Get your point here, but that's a bit like buying a selling cheap bits on ebay, where the return on total investment of each deal will be so low and so begs the question if that approach is really worth its time, to make just a few quid, I'd guess its not. If we're taking a punt on the likes of Smith to see if they can flourish in 12 months great, if not quickly move them on before they become stale, fair enough, but as a strategy for making money, I don't see it. |  | |  |

https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/202 Surprised at him leaving and more surprised it’s to a club in N.I. No idea what the standard is like there? |  |

maybe the club feel that with Dunne, Mbengue and Edwards in the first team squad the offers for Smith and Wilkie were too good to turn down. |  | |  |
