Good to see, we could turn into a bad version of barca and just play our youth players..
We'd probs go down like..

[Il Postino Pat]

Hope he does well in Columbia.

this is a positive thing but it will disrupt his pre-season a bit.

[Black-siamese-cat]

Good for the lad. Hope that will boost his confidence a bit.

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

Pleased for him. Will give him some good experience and hopefully he'll get a good amount of games down at Derby this season and bang some goals in.

Should be good for him I think. He doesn't look ready for the first team yet anyway judging by his performances at the tail end of last season.

Spain will have to pull players out of their U19 Euros squad which is happening around the same time. Would show some strength in depth to win both!

Which is a shame really, I remember Stokes being slagged off left right and centre on here when he wasn't good enough and younger than Noble is now. Hopefully Noble is just a late developer

He really needs another season out on loan, which I think will happen.
I don't think he can be considered as one of our first-team striking options as yet.
