Only if he goes to some club that can develop him in the style and with the compatible system to what Ten Hag is implementing. Sending him, in his formative years, to some bullshit Championship club just so he can play regular football is not developing him.
I don't think it matters too much as long as he's playing regular football.
Why unpopular? McT is a shit midfielder and most people see that by now
It’s unpopular because there’s literally zero truth to it.
Its difficult to know.
How exactly did it work out for Garner? Is Garner EPL quality now? Is Garner going to be regular starter for us? Are we not buying midfielders because we think Garner is ready? No, no, and no. So what exactly "worked out" for Garner? He got to play regular games, a bunch of people on forums and social media are excited and overhyped, and then what? Very likely he will be sold at some point and never play for us at top level
Garners value to transfermarkt is about 7 million. It's double than it was last year. If we sell him now, he will probably go for 10 millions. I m sure that if he had stayed with us last year because we couldn't find a team playing our style (whatever style we had then), he would probably go for 2 millions max. That's a successful loan in my opinion. He may never be a united quality no matter where he went/will go on loan.
Garner would be going for £20m minimum if we sold him this summer.
I believe it will be closer to 20 than 10 indeed. However, I picked the lowest price just to say that even if he left with 10 now, his loan was still a massive success.
Jeez somebody's grumpy.
Fair enough, but based on the point you are making - we are a player farm, now? I thought we wanted to grow footballers so they can play for us, at top level. That is what I would like to see happen to Savage (I agree that Garner probably doesn't have what it takes for that). And I don't think it will happen if Savage is sold to a no-style or incompatible style club in Championship.
McT get's flak because posters on here love scapegoats and agenda pushing.
Savage is not even close to being as good as mctominay. Maybe in the future he will be but as it stands now he is not. From his pre season showing he seems a decent player, but so far in the u18s/reserves and on pre season there has been nothing to say that he could become more than a decent/good player. It all depends on how he adapts to senior football.
Too many people use ‘unpopular’ as a euphemism for ‘unqualified’.
I don't think we are a farm for players. However, it is impossible for every young player to make the step. I do think that the club is responsible for their careers and should help them achieve their potential, even if that potential is" just" championship (which is still a great achievement). We had players who stayed in the under 21s for so long that they reach the age of 21 and 22 with minimum high level experience, so when they leave it is difficult for them to make the step.
Because thus works this hyperconnected brave new world.

The kid needs minutes in adult football, wish him well, hope its a successful loan.
He is playing football that helps.
