Why are people comparing Doig age wise to Bassey? Bassey turns 22 in December and Doig turns 19 in May. By the time Doig is the same age as Bassey is now, Bassey will be in his mid 20s.
Wouldn't it be good to pick up someone like Doig, loan out Bassey for a year to get first team football. Then season after loan Doig out for a year, Bassey comes back to challenge Borna. Then season after Doig comes back to challenge Bassey.
Isn't that the kind of succession system we've been talking about, since Gerrard came in.
On Maxwell, he is much further behind Doig in development at the moment and has a long way to go. That isn't to say Maxwell won't develop into a better player but right now I feel Doig is a better prospect.
I think Maxwell has great technique and potential. Right now he is lacking physically and needs work defensively but there are positive signs that he is improving there.
