True, in hindsight. I think we only loaned him because we couldn't get a purchase arranged in time and that the intent was to buy him alongside Rogers on the basis that at least 1 of the 2 would come good. Although he's a year older than Rogers, people tend to forget that Rogers had much more experience in the Championship before we signed him and Greenwood had started just 9 games in his career (4 Premier, 4 FA cup, 1 EFL cup). It was reasonable to think given his youth team pedigree that, like Rogers, he would come good with a season in the Championship.I honestly don’t know why we’ve done it. He’s been poor value. He’s not as good as players like Lewis Wing or Marvin Johnson or Duncan Watmore.
It looks to me that when it came to our attacking midfielders/forwards we had
Rogers & Greenwood to go into the first team squad
Silvera and Gilbert to go into the development squad
