Hell be a star player for us next season mate n critch will surely say this was the plan all along.The happy clappers will tell you "Apter is not ready for League 1 football because world class coach Critchley says so".
He'd be the best player in our squad of duffers yet, and if his agent is worth his salt, will be off in a shot to a club that will appreciate him and play him.
Yep. Apter could have been the talent we needed for promotion this season. Sending him away is Critchley thinking he's managing Liverpool where they farm them all off. Something not needed between L1 and L2. If you are good in L2 - you are good enough for L1.If Apter gets a shot next season it will be marketed as a triumph of player development. Rather than an opportunity missed to take a risk on youth this season.
You play Apter ahead of Dembele ? If you play them together you have a lot of skill but not any real physical presence which we’ve all seen can be an issue in League 2.Yep.

Where is he off to then?Next season Apter will need to play in a system that’s works for him !

I’ve watched a few Tranmere games this season as mt Nephew and Brother in Law are season ticket holders there - at the start of the season Apter was only effective in short bursts. He’s improved massively and now most Tranmere fans would say he’s their best player. That’s happened due to regular game time of 70+ minutes over 40 games.
He simply wouldn’t have got that here so the loan move was the correct thing to do.
When we had Dale, I could see the argument. Once we'd let dale go to the side likely to beat us to the play off spots, I couldn't.It's absurd to say that we couldn't make use of both Dembele and Apter. Dembele has played too much, and he may also have got injured. There's only room for one small skilful player in a squad if 25? Don't be ridiculous.
And Apter was Tranmere's best player before Xmas. We didn't even give Apter a run out while he was back here in January. Probably scared of everyone wanting him to stay.
Play them together but replace CJ with Apter no change to physical presence.You play Apter ahead of Dembele ? If you play them together you have a lot of skill but not any real physical presence which we’ve all seen can be an issue in League 2.

I couldn't even see it then, personally.When we had Dale, I could see the argument. Once we'd let dale go to the side likely to beat us to the play off spots, I couldn't.
