Jimmy Garner love-in

Couple of quotes from forest fans

You can see why Man United were pissed off that Watford weren't playing him.

This guy deserves to be starting every game in the Championship. He's better than this level, too.

Premiership class today.

Best player on the pitch by some distance

He already is a really great player in his first season of men's football. United's U23 is not for him anymore, and if they don't plan on using him in the first team (which is unlikely), he will certainly have many offers from the Championship or even lower Premier clubs.

As soon as safety is confirmed, we should be on the phone to United to try and get him back for next season. Quality player.

He was absolutely outstanding tonight. Best game in a forest shirt. Forget the goal it was the anticipation and all round midfield play. His positional sense is exceptional and he knows instinctively what to do in tight situations.
He’s a lovely player to watch....

The lads a Premier League footballer in waiting. Has all the skills and attributes he needs. Only lacking a little self-belief at times.

Lads only 19. He'll be running a prem midfield by the time he's 21

Always liked forest

Jimmy

Sounds promising. What is he an all rounder?

He's a bit like carrick.

So running things from a deeper position, good passer? Is he physical? He looks a bit slight.

No, a slack-jawed Ole stooge who does nothing all week etc

He's 20 and hasn't made little impact on the first team at United so it doesn't bode well for him at United.

Going out on loan is usually the begining of the end.

Yeah, it was pretty much over for Beckham when he went to Preston in 1995.

In the premiership era how many players have been out on loan and come back to have good careers at United?

Beckham is one but name me a few more.

Every player matures differently. Garner is a very skinny slight lad and needs to play regular mens football and physically develop more, he's not going to get minutes in the premier league is he..

The odds aren't in his favour but that's not to say he can't overcome them. He is very talented.

I liked Garner from the first time I saw him. He's a special talent. A loan to a lower division is perfect for him imo.

Your assumption is based an every player being the same in terms of development, which they aren’t, hence the nonsense comment.

You can’t base Garner’s development, progress and chances based on what others before him have done.

This. In his position, playing and experience is key, and he needs to develop physically, much better he’s out than in the stiffs.

I don't dispute any of that but history isn't on his side if you've not made a claim for a first team place by the time you are 20 time is running out. There are other younger players pressing for places.

Goalkeepers are an exception because it's unlikly they would ever get games at 19/20 unless they were truly exceptional.

He could be an exception BUT answer my question, how many players who have been out on loan have come back to have a good career at United.

We've got Beckham
