I agree. At this stage the kid needs EPL football, something no other club will give him. By playing him in the Carling cup and giving him training with the likes of Scholes etc, he's not only getting valuable experience but we're also improving his chances of handling a first team place with a smaller EPL if we decide to loan him out the season afterwards.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

That could be the path...though I'd be very fecking careful who we loan to if that is the case.
I've not problem with him going to Championship/League one clubs to continue his natural progression and play games, but certainly happy if he stays and learns with what we have.
Nope, im with you on that. Try him first, if he is not up to it, send him on loan. At least you know exactly where he is at then. Some players lift their game immediately, others take more time.
I am not a fan of sending people on loan unless they have proved they are not yet ready. Can't really see the point with Fabio on a sidenote. He has been in and around the first team for years. With Evra in such regularly unconvincing form, surely if Fabio is not worth a shout by now, then for me i don't see how he can still be deemed good enough.
I'd be interested to see what he does on pre season tour.
I agree particularly in the first paragraph.
Another question for all of you (to the risk of sounding cynical which many of us in the Southern part of Europe are, at least in terms of football). What do you think about us, stressing on the fact that we want on loan players to be regularly involved in first team football? I mean, we're giving that team promising talent, which are usually out of that club's reach. What we're asking in exchange is that these kids do not lose a crucial year of their career.
Honestly Im still pissed off on how Giuseppe Rossi was treated at Newcastle. He was much better to the players they had but they merely used him just to boost their ranks.
We're also askign a club to develop a player they wont be benefitting from long term.
One of the reasons Crewe wont have Powell back on loan...but then do what Crewe have done and don't take them on loan if that is your philosophy.
Rossi deal absolutely enrages me still.

We'll see how he does pre-season then bed him in in carling cup games. If he plays well he might get a couple of prem appearances in some of the less high profile games. I predict 10-12 games this season
Yes yes, thankyou captain obvious!
Yes yes, thankyou captain obvious!
Even after seeing how much Evans, Welbeck and Cleverley benefitted from similar deals?
I dont think that the likes of Sunderland and Wigan treated our loanee players as mere bodies to boost their ranks
No chance he will go on loan IMO, he will replace Berbatov
We'll have a better idea after the tour. Nobody has a clue what level he's at now.
Course we do! He is the new Ronaldo after all!
I mean I was pissed off with Newcastle...not the fact we looked at loaning him.
No they did not. Hence my comment about being careful who we loan to...
Oh right, yeah. That was annoying alright.
If I remember right he was given one start at Chelsea away...where he played wide left...mental.
I accept that not all loans work out...but that lad was hugely talented.
he started off being shunted out wide until they had an injury crisis and then he was played up front on his own and they started pumping the ball long to him.. for all of Rossi's strengths he isn't a fecking target man.
Kin stupid.
Glenn Roeders fault if I remember correctly
It was indeed. It's mental.
He's a good bloke. Chose United over ("Arsenal" and "Everton" I think).
Interesting use of punctuation in that sentence.
Kid teething or something Pogue?
Pah, so called "Arsenal" and "Everton".
Ideas that have been shown to not really exist go in quotation marks, like "trickle-down economics", "fairness" and "the Easter bunny".
But it's a moot point, as some people on the caf still believe in "Arsenal" and "Everton".
he rejected Arsenal at 16. fact.
Well, technically all he did was hit the "help / report abuse" button on Bebo...
We've just signed powell !!!! 
....sorry, I've been living under a rock the past week Anyway, great news
....sorry, I've been living under a rock the past week
Anyway, great newsBut I've seen at least 3 or 4 YouTube clips of him
Signing his little Brother Michael as well apparently. He is 14.
Better than Nick Powell!
Based purely on the fact that the younger brothers are generally hyped up as the better version despite it never materializing
At some point it's going to work no
?Maybe, maybe not. Being the older brother of a family I'd be inclined to say the older brother generally has the better geneticsAt some point it's going to work no
He's the next Nick Powell!!
Nick Powell a smokescreen for Michael Powell
The next Bradley Wright Phillips you say?
Remember when Tevez brother trained with us... or something?
