Yeah just a thought. Wonder if more beneficial to be playing week in week out as first choice in PL somewhere. Thing is with Europa it's huge this season, we need to be looking to obvs qualify and then finish top of group. We've got a big and good squad (rightfully so) and I'm not sure as it stands (Soldado, Townsend, Holtby, Paulinho, Chadli) he'd even start those.
Group stages are still pretty darn easy though. We could send our u21's and probably still finish 2nd at worst.
The other problem is that other PL loans don't always work out. We sent Kane to Championship teams that didn't even want to play him. The other factor is that a lot of those lower teams are lower because they can't develop players. So why should we trust them to help develop our own?
