I think with Newcastle coming up, I think that would be the perfect place for him to go out on loan to. I think the championship is too low for him, but a lower premier league side would certainly be the best place for him.
I don't think the Championship is to low for him personally, but a low PL club would also be beneficial for his own personal development, maybe the only detriment is that it keeps his profile a lot closer to the club if he stays in the PL.
Like I said though, games, games, games. Confidence and goals are the main thing.
Why is it silly? If he goes to La Liga he will experience:
Conditions completely outside the sphere of his development necessity. Plus keeping him in England lets him develop in English conditions, he won't be playing in the La Liga ever hopefully he'll exceed all expectations and play for us his entire career. He's not unsettled and he's not in need of a mental check.
Just games and goals. In England because he will be playing in England for as long as he can with us, like I said above.
Anyway the destination is moot. This is an important stage of his development and I want him scoring loads of goals up front and be full of confidence. Something he isn't really getting here at the moment.
