I was one that said he needed another year in the ALM before we sold him and it's not going to harm his progress.
But if Bournemouth/Foley were actually prioritising his development they'd surely have offered him back to the nix for a season loan where he knows the coach and the system


But when he does get to Europe (hopefully soon) he will have to go through that process of learning a new system, proving yourself to a new coach, new team mates etc. He now gets his first taste of doing that, if yes back in the same league/country.

But yes still some valuable learnings (rugby talk) adapting to change, after leaving a comfortable environment he'd been at 5 years+. However I really hope it's a max one season back in the ALM, giving Bournemouth time to find the right loan deal for him in Europe. Unlikely but it could even be as soon as the Jan window next year.
