I doubt very much if either will get any playing time in the first team this season. So the best thing would be to get them loaned out to either a good first division team, or another championship outfit. Maybe an outfit like Wycombe or Burton Albion.
Or better still a a Dutch or German side.
 
I think his comments are a precursor to him giving these two game time. Not thrown in from the start, but being brought on from the bench with 30 minutes to go. Sending them on loan will just dampen their enthusiasm and with lots of 'older' players in the squad, having fresh and enthusiastic legs will bring some spark in the last quarter of the games. I also see 'Audrey' Hepburn being treated in the same way.

Yes I noticed last season , when Bruce bigged someone up then it meant they were going to be involved. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see them on the bench.

Personally I would start Hayes in the No. 10 role.
 
Is Hayes a number 10?

I'll admit I've only seen him play twice. Both times he looked excellent but struck me more as a Gareth Barry or Michael Carrick type.
 
Well he can pick a pass from the looks of it , and there is a opening there with Grealish injured , maybe not an out and out No. 10 but supporting whoever the lone striker maybe. Maybe O'hare is better suited to that role , but I haven't seen as much of him
 
From what I've seen Hayes is a dynamo and O'Hare the tricky "10" . We won't see either tomorrow is my guess and if we are signing this lad from Spurs on loan they'll be further down the order
 
Hayes should be on the bench with the chance to break through - he looks exactly what we need.

The problem is Bruce has bought so many midfielders now he probably won`t get a sniff.
 
Good job O'Hare seems to have a talent.... not sure he's the sharpest tool in the box -

"Buzzing too of made my debut tonight and even more so to get the win through to the next round! Thanks for all the messages"
