Makes sense, the boy has ZERO experience of League football. Like any rough diamond needs shaping. Bit unfair to chuck him straight into the Championship.
Our Official Site and programme have written up our youngsters as the next Ronaldhino for as long as I can remember! More often than not they end up at Gravesend and Northfleet or equivalent.
Early indications suggest that this guy might be a little bit special even allowing for the usual hype. It therefore makes sense to me to loan him out in the first instance in order to determine whether or not he can hack it in a division one below us.
Having said that I'd only let him go for 3 months maximum as we may need the fresh qualities he can bring by then.
i can't see Dickson being a start from the beginning of the season, so do a one month loan, if he starts doing great then its only for a month, if he needs longer it can be extended.
Also it might give him some confidence if he is going to turn out to be useful - look at what "judas" did at Bournemouth - have to say it helped him out

:P
Hopefully he comes back to us a more aware and complete player.
The worst thing would be for him to go and sit on the bench and play only the last 20-30 minutes, if at all.
