Quote from: ChicagoLion on March 13, 2021, 09:17:05 AMIt’s a common call on here when a young player isn’t quite delivering, loan him out that will fix it.Well yes, because it's been proven to work a few times in the past, not least with Grealish. Young players need a spell playing every game to see what they're made of, or you end up in a position like we have with Davis, where he's 23 and has started 4 games in nearly 2 years. He hasn't played enough, so he's no use to us despite only having one fit striker and he's not going to improve playing 10 minutes once a month.

The difference with Ramsey is that he's replaced an established first team squad player,Conor,and he's getting Premier League game time ahead of an England international.He now knows the demands at this level.To send him off to a Championship side next season would not only be a retrograde step but also a blow to his confidence,a statement saying we don't trust you at the present or in improving next season.His selection also gives other youngsters the message that if you're producing the goods,we will pick you.
It might also be that for the first time in about fifteen years we can bring in a player for league games that don't count for much.

Kessler, Barry, Chukwuemeka, Philogene-Bidace. They could all benefit from a few minutes as subs.
