He's now played over 2,200 minutes (equivalent to 25 complete games) of first team competitive games, but the importance of the loan is obvious when he's played almost 70% of those minutes this season at Norwich.
To add to that is 5 starts for E u21's with 2 appearances off the bench adding another 470 minutes.
So let me get this right. A championship player and al the while we are trying to win the big one.Oliver Skipp passed another milestone today with his 20th successive start for Norwich clocking up 1737 minutes there (subbed off in 4 games usually for tactical reasons).
Great experience with the loan going as good as it could be, helping take Norwich to top of Championship table.

What is No?Just, No.

What a silly man.I met a poster on SC who said something similar about a rookie striker playing in League 1 and then Championship scoring goals for fun.
His bet was that he would eat his underpants if that striker ever made it in PL.
He had to stop posting for a year (due to too many people asking for evidence he kept his word) when Harry scored a goal in each of his first 3 successive PL starts.

He was hardly "scoring goals for fun" on loan, 14 goals in 56 games.I met a poster on SC who said something similar about a rookie striker playing in League 1 and then Championship scoring goals for fun.

I remember seeing his debut vs Hearts and doubting he'd be any great shakes. That was what the vast majority thought, about the only person who never wavered was Windy as far as I remember it.

Depends how you define it. Rose was probably the best loan that led to regular 1st team apps but Townsend. Livermore, Mason and Carroll all made a few apps and of course along with Caulker earned the club hefty transfer fees.I could be forgetting someone, but I’m thinking this the best loan move we’ve ever had with a young player in recent memory.
Everyone doubted Harry. Actually not many can honestly say they rated him. Most of us thought at best he'd be a mid table level striker.I've played football with Harry Kane and even I doubted his ability to make it. So I'm genuinely not surprised if anyone bar those who overrate our youngsters to be special would think similar.
