Get them out on loan at this point, even if they stay at first team almost unlikely they get any minutes apart from first two rounds of Carabao which nothing but two games in September/October. Every other game they will not even make the bench.
Even Delap who did score in Carabao early on and looked like he could get some more chances later on was hyped last season and then he never made another appearence for us after September didnt he? Even with Aguero out almost all year. Now with Kane coming in its almost worse for a youngster to get a run now with possibly Kane, Jesus, Torres, and any false 9 option still front of him.
Will be hardly different for Cole Palmer imo given the many nationals ahead of him in same position.
I prefer 20-30 games for them in Championship against adults where they can fight for playoff maybe or avoiding relegation etc not the nonsense U23 league where where the stake is almost non existent.
What Txiki and his staff has to make sure they choose the right club who will nurture them and give them playing time. Would not mind to send 1-2 more to Anderlecht.
