I felt quite smug reading that until I realised you were talking how tall he is!

Twitter says hip injury, hopefully not serious, seems like a last minute thing as wasn't mentioned in their pre-match writeup.

Took a kick at Wycombe. Sounds like he took some stick there. Cheltenham boss had said he was hopeful Kion would be fit so sounds like it was touch and go.
I'm hoping to go on Saturday so fingers crossed he's fit.

So that makes it
7 appearances, 2 goals and 3 assists for Cheltenham (so far )
23 appearances, 6 goals and 2 assists for Northampton.
Will a Championship loan be on the cards for him next season?
In 3 years time we'll have a wealth of forward talent to choose from : Kane, Son, Kulu, Scarlett, Etete and Parrot.
And not long after that, Donley

They don’t grow on trees. Kane is a once in a generation striker for us

Loans work. Happy for Etete and hope he stays fit as this has the makings of a huge stage of his development.

Interesting from David Pleat on The Spurs Show, the club didn't want Kion to go to Cheltenham, they wanted him to stay at Northampton, it was his agent who convinced him to go there as he thinks the quicker they play high league football the more money they will get when they move him on.
Edit: and his agent is ex-wolves keeper Matt Murray.

Possibly yeah, I imagine it'll depend on how he does until the end of the season.
Or, that's what Pleat thinks the reasoning for it.
Here's the link for it.

Doesn’t sound like etete or his agent thinks he has a long term future with us …..shame as it seems like he has had a good attitude since joining and made the most of his loan moves

Indeed (I seem to be saying that a lot lately. Is it a thing?) anyway, it does look exactly as you say, from the outside looking in, at least.
From what little I've seen, and I'll admit it's purely snippets that people have kindly shared in here, and then the opinions shared from his manager & the people on twitter etc.
But I'm seeing (and reading) a great work ethic & team understanding, and this is from both his manager & the supporters. And the few clips that have been shared oh here, I see a lad who is more than capable of mixing it up with the big boys in men's football.
I'm all aboard the Scarlett train, and am super excited about that lads future (again, based solely upon what I've seen/read on here). But when I see the snippets of what Etete has done in this & his previous loan, and compare them with what young Scarlett has shown for us. It's night & day!
Scarlett has looked like a boy playing mens football, Etete has looked anything other than that & I bet defenders hate playing against him. Absolute unit of a player ?

Yeah, if you're to pick either player today to start for us in say, the Europa League, it has to be Etete.
