I can imagine the conversation with Unai at Bodymoor."We'll be sending you on loan.""You won't.""Er, okay then you can stay here with the under-21s.""First team.""Hmmm, that's fine. It'll be good experience for when you're in the matchday squad.""Next week.""That's a bit early. I was thinking perhaps towards the end of the season""Next week.""Perhaps we could have you on the bench.""Starting."
