We loan out players to weaker leagues, whether in this country or abroad. It's totally normal.
At some point we'll need to bring him in and get him in the squad to see if he can make it.
You could be right.
But whilst we're negotiating the loan we're in a position to mention to them that we could offer him to celtic.
With a loan of a young player, the prospective loanee club doesn't have a strong bargaining position
Interesting.
Though what we can control is whether we recall him.
Might the fact that we can't stop him playing against us if we were to draw them later in the competition influence our decision on this? Barca sure looked stupid with the countinho situation
Id prefer we didn't sell Mitoma and bought in Sima.
Injuries are a thing, as we've found out this season. And we almost certainly won't have Fati.
Every season squad strength is what gets us.
