Meanwhile, youngster Brooke Norton-Cuffy is also being lined up for another Championship loan after thriving in Coventry City's Premier League promotion bid last season.

A number of clubs including the Sky Blues are keen to acquire the services of the talented teenager for the 2023/24 season although the 19-year-old could be handed the chance to impress during pre-season.

Arsenal decide next transfer priority after agreeing Timber and Rice deals

He improved massively the more he played , yes very raw but has huge potential.
Would definitely have him back for another season , possibly with a view to signing him

Absolutely would want him back. Improved a lot, can carry the ball well and is very physical.

Wouldn’t mind him back, didn’t pull up any trees imo but we’ve had worse. A full season under Viveash and Robins playing in a familiar system with team-mates, a fan base and surroundings that he already knows, may well see him kick on. As much as I have high hopes for Burroughs, I think we need to bring in two in this position.

One of his biggest critics after his first few games. Absolutely zero positional sense or tactical awareness. And seemingly Bambi esque technical ability.

However, he massively improved in his time here, as did his confidence - not coincidental.

While he was still Bambi esque, his other attributes improved and his willingness to be offensive did too. Still needs to work on that end product but based on his improvement in a short space of time re his other attributes, I’m sure he will.

Impressed with his passion the more familiar and comfortable he become with the club/fans.

Better going forwards than defending, got some nice tricks in his armoury and good on the ball. He will thrive under our coaching team.

Thought he was one of our best players in the second half at Wembley until he tired near the end

Yeah other than Hamer I’d have given him our man of the match in normal time

I had a bad feeling as soon as he went off tbh

Cheesy I know, but I’d have him back just on the off chance we could get the whole CBS singing AC/DC. ‘Cause I’m B.N.C. I’m dynamite!

If he could cross, he’d be too good for us this season!
For a young lad, you can give him the ball in tight areas without expecting him to cock it up (add your own innuendo!).
I’d be very happy having him back.

It’s telling that just a few days after Wembley heartbreak, he was starting for England U20s thousands of miles away. Doyle wasn’t…

I agree. The over the top criticism of him on here from a few posters was ridiculous and unfair. I thought he was fine from the start. Unfortunately then certain posters tried to pin the blame for every goal we conceeded on him.

Wouldn't be unhappy if we had him here again.

He got better but I still don't rate him much. That said, perhaps he's now used to the position and can start to flourish? Perhaps trying to look up every now and then?

BNC was easily the most improved player (imo). He was given a chance, a consistent run of games and he started to shine, he was very raw but every now and then he'd go on a mad run to the other end of the pitch that neither the fans or he expected him to do .

I'd take him back purely for that one particular ultra-determined moment during the Play Offs.

None of our wing backs tend to score or assist much. Dabo never scored for us and Bidwell has scored once in over 60 appearances and that was a bit of a freak goal. Assists is a rubbish stat in my view and I do recall BNC playing a crucial role in a couple of goals.

Come back, Cuffy Come back

I admit Grendel was a clown to keep putting you down
But please don’t go and sign for Ipswich Town

Come back

Yes because without Fan-Ka-Tyyyy
We need you bombing down the wing for the Cit-Yyyy

Come back

In your number 7 shirt
And help us to undo all the Wembley hurt

Come back

Yes you’re guaranteed to start
And joining us again will make Liam Kelly hard

Too slow
Too short
Couldn't cross
Couldn't shoot
Zero assists
Zero goals

It's a no from me.

Top wing backs get involved in goals and he simply doesn’t. It’s just my opinion, I don’t like those stats. As always on here someone else’s opinion is always right.
We got to then final because of Vik and Gus, the stats back it up!

Only 19 loads of potential and not just at RWB depends on price perhaps loan to buy like we did with Sheaf.

Arsenal are now having a major clear out due to the massive transfer fees they’ve paid for their recent signings. I would make an offer for him.
