"At least more so than he would here this season imo", so nobody, nobody said he won't get games...Who says he won't get games? Injuries, cup games, resting Vinny, etc. Still lots of options for Denayer to establish himself here.
He'd be fifth in the pecking order here, whereas if Valencia agreed to take him on loan in a deal where they lose a CB I imagine he would be in a better position.
