That's fair enough, if he prefers them to stay then that's that. But I'm still not sure we can say for sure that it's to the detriment of a players career. Some managers play things one way, others take a different path. As you say, the cream will rise to the top and the worst you could say is that he may have stalled a career, certainly not ended any (not that anyone is suggesting that)I'd link you an article if I wouldn't get banned but if you google pochettino prefers to have talent at home not on loan - the article in the guardian has quotes where he discusses that it is his preference that they stay.
I agree with you that I do think it's one of those things that was blown way out of proportion on here where people are suggesting he ruined their careers or what not, Im of the mentality that the cream always rises to the top and I do think his overall use of young players warrants his reputation as an excellent coach for developing youth but if there was 1 blot on his copybook I'd say it was the stagnation of a few players through lack of loans which appears to have been his choice judging by his own words.
