Nor was Rashford when he got his chance. I'd say Laird isn't a million miles away from being ready to be in the first team squad, he's having a very good loan spell, so that should put him ahead of the others.
I think both Mejbri and Shoretire had a degree of power in negotiations and probably were given assurances and a timeframe on first team involvement. Therefore, Mejbri particularly will see quite a few games. I think the kids in a hurry.
As a barometer look at Cherki at Lyon, who's already making regular appearances.
As for Garner, we need a player matching his skill set and the market for those types of players is thin.
Any youth player coming into the squad is going to need a season to ease in. That won't change if Garner goes out on loan for another year. So the question is, are we in a position to have him ready as a squad first team in 1yrs time or waiting another additional season?

Cherki is a potentially generational talent, who is playing in a far less competitive league. Any youngster leaving France for England will know they will have a far tougher time making a break through. So not really a barometer to be honest.

I think he'll be a barometer for Mejbri. Some news surrounding Mejbri suggests that he isn't your standard youth prospect.
I don't know the details but there were some contractual issues with Monaco which encouraged him to push for a move, not long after joining them at what probably was 16/17.
Disagree. He has the work rate and desire to get stuck in to be a good CM. He has only recently been moved to LW, am sure the coaches have a good reason for that.
