Given Jebbo’s progression which was adequately demonstrated in his performance on Saturday , the idea of him being sent out on loan should not even be a consideration .
Whilst he still has some way to go to become the finished article , he is not that far away and could cause serious problems for many of the weaker defences in the PL and from personal observation there are plenty of them .
That being said , it is abundantly clear that we will need at least one other striker with Billy coming towards the end of his career and McBurnie being just not good enough .
In this respect we have to be realistic and recognise that if any players become available who can be relied upon to score 15 + goals in the PL then we will be well down the pecking order in terms of our ability to sign them .
With that in mind and assuming Luton miss out in the play offs , I think we could do a lot worse than than taking a punt on Carlton Morris who has impressed me every time I’ve watched him this season .
Yes , I know that his career so far has not exactly been stellar but there are plenty of examples of players who have not reached their full potential until their late 20’s and I think he is one of them .
20 goals and 7 assists in this year’s Championship is not to be sniffed at and way ahead of any of our players and whilst I wouldn’t expect him to repeat that in the PL , even half that would make a significant contribution to our chances of staying up .
On a final note I should say that it is not just the number of goals he has scored which has impressed me but also the manner in which he has taken some of them , which many a top class striker would have been proud of .
