He’ll come back from loan a better footballer than when he left, I think it’s fair to say. Clearly the manager thought he’d not get the minutes he needed to properly kick on this season with us, so it’s better that he develops elsewhere for now and hones his craft.
Whether the manager was right to do so is a question that can only be answered once we’ve seen the performances of those he does choose to play in that position over the course of the season. At this point, it’s all speculation. Time will tell, and given the lad is 18 time is on his side. Why not use it?

About as much as you. But keep banging the drum about our 'failures' if it's how you feel.
He is still a child, he is not going out on loan …
Joe Royle Vaughan played at 16 years old age should not matter - my main point you need to blend someone like Harrison Armstrong in gently - he has been out on lian plus Captains the under 19 England team IMO he needed to be playing in training & cameo roles which would be better than playing for Preston NE - it's my opinion & I will be proved correct if injuries crop up around the Afcon internationals!
Yes and they still lived in their family home, surrounded by the environment they have spent their teenage years in to nurture their development as human beings as well as footballers, what are you not getting here?
Liverpool FC are not going to send a minor, who is still completing his A Levels, to go and live in another town for a bit. That’s why a loan isn’t even considered for Nguboha
There is a good chance he goes on loan when he’s 18, if he’s not going to get minutes. They’re not going to do it now. HE IS A CHILD.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the likes of him and Dowman at arsenal actually don’t play that much this year, it’s just a good time to give them some game time after pre season

Joey it’s 2025. Unless the kid is obviously a generational talent as a child like Rooney the club should (if they don’t already), have an obligation to ensure kids have a full education and a decent entrance into the real world because a hell of a lot of them don’t make it in football.

There will always be some good players who we let go because we don't think they're good enough. Happens to all clubs.
Think Salah and DeBruyne at Chelsea. Palmer and Rogers at City.
You could argue that we can't afford to make those kinds of mistakes whereas the likes of City and Chelsea can get away with it.
I would counter that by saying that mistakes are impossible to avoid.

He's not ready mate. You have this weird fantasy in your head that he's the second coming of Steven Gerrard but it's based on nothing other than wishful thinking. Hr was ok at Derby (occasionally completely anonymous) and didn't do much for us in pre-season. There's no evidence at the moment that he's anywhere near the level of the players who play in the same position as him and the people who watch him day in day out obviously feel the same way. Throwing a young forward on for a few minutes at the end of a game is far less risky than putting on a central midfielder.
Rooney and Kieran Dowell?
True - bout in our current youth system only DCL lately had a run in the first team until injury - not many youth players have got a sniff - over the last few seasons we have been down to the bare bones of a squad - I am not advocating they will all make it , but they don't even get on the bench when we have two keepers on it - in the past ....
I think our squad is better apart from the full back positions & we obviously will miss Brathwaite - Nick Chadwick has come in etc -to work on our youth team set up -
In Harrison Armstrong - I just would have liked to have seen him around our squad - IMO playing for Preston NE is not the answer for him to develop - I get it he will get a game & play more - but he has already done that with derby County with rave reviews - I just feel he would have benefited training with better players in our team - this season as when he comes back Grealish who is a class midfielder may be gone ...
Its only my opinion that is what a forum is for ....
Rooney and Barkley?
Gerrard and Rooney.
