If they are good enough for our first team now they will be in the first team. However we are the best club in the world so not easy for youngsters to get into the team, which is why we get them, loan them to develop. If they develop to be good enough then they will be in the first team, if not we will be able to sell them, probably for a profit.That is what I am afraid of. We need players, its suicidal getting them only to ship them off when we already need them.
Now that we do not use Philips, Perrone is much needed to at least take off a few minutes off from Rodri and give him a much needed and deserved rest.
The alternative is the Chelsea approach and wait until they have a breakthrough year and spunk £100m for someone they could have brought for £25m the year before. I'd say we have a balanced approach.
Before a response of "how many have come back after loan" same answer as how many youths have managed to come through the brilliant youth set up and establish themselves in the first team. The Sheik himself said he only really expects one or so to come through a year from the academy - its that tough.
