In fact he's not on loan, he got sold!
Can you imagine! They've done exactly what we did with lopes and Rekik yet you lot are frothing at the mouth and using him as an example of what we don't do. Laughable.
Incorrect mate. Barca insert a buy-back clause on their youngsters and they've already made it clear that they'll get him back either this window or the next.
We absolutely could've done more to keep him. There's a reason we beat out Barca initally for his signature. We got a new manager who most likely gave him no reassurance over his future as evidenced by Pellegrini's handling of Jason and Kelechi and Barca seemed to want him more. We made a mistake with the lad but we have to learn from it but I don't think our system of 2 world-class players per position is going to solve it.
