Hope this doesn't happen. Too old and a bad egg at that
Owen Hargreaves during last nights commentary said that both Philip lahm & David Alaba were loaned out on 2 year loans by Bayern. I never knew this and was surprised that pretty much the best fullback in my lifetime & one of the worlds best current full backs had both had to follow that path to make it to the top...thought he had a weight problem. Good player back in the day, though, and like all signings if Brands/Silva want a player they are accountable. I think they would consider this low risk.
Just wonder if this is a back-up for Sigurdsson and a reflection that they might not think Dowell is quite up to it.

Unfortunately the modern game with the 24/7 scrutiny & social media discussing every detail means we follow every inch of a players progression or lack of.
It possibly too late to loan dowell out for 2 years as he was rumoured to have only signed his new deal based upon not going out on Loan but perhaps we could start to try & follow suit as we get better.
If at the start of last season we had loaned dowell out for 2 years to a carefully selected clubs then I think it’s probable his progression would be much greater.
I’d probably try & send him to Germany if possible seems to work.
