I do dissagree, in fact most pundits would . one swallow doesn't make a summer.
Where would you send him? You have to balance a number of factors, as well as the quality of the domestic league consider the stature of the club, is it involved in Europe, what is the level of coaching and managerial guidance. Celtic tick most of these boxes I think.
My view is that the vast majority of the players we send out on loan won't return to pull on the shirt. The exception would be a player who can hold down a regular spot and excel in the PL or with a top European team. I will be very interested to see what happens next year with Foden and Diaz?
 
You may dissagree but its a daft point to make because its almost impossible to rate how players will perform coming from any league. All I ever hear is 'yeah but its the eriedivisie/primera/ligue1/championship'. The scottish league has its success stories and its failures just like any other. Last I checked VVD was doing okay.
If a good player moves there, he doesn't become a bad player, but it's a year wasted because now we don't know if he's ready to play Premier League football.

I have a feeling he may come back to haunt us, but players like Diaz and Foden are now ahead of him, and it's his own fault.

Whereas you're saying we would know that if we had loaned him to NAC or Girona or bloody new york?

The only way to know if a player is ready to play in the premier league is for them to play in the premier league. Really don't understand why the scottish league is getting such a pasting for being a poor loan destination when we have had far more unsuccesful loans in holland and spain. At least Roberts got to play some football. Douglas Luiz and Aleix have probably forgotten what a bloody ball looks like.

Girona yes. It’s the fucking Spanish first division.
 
Loaning Roberts to the Scottish League does us a favour if we are using as a make weight because as people have stated the league makes decent players look good and good players look great

The first loan to Celtic made sense, the second was stupid, he had offers in the premier league last season to test himself and he took the easy option.
