Loan these players or to championship clubs to see if they can cut it on the professional stage.

Yeah, agree with this.
League 1 at the very least. These guys have proven they can cut it as that level, time to make the step up and start facing men.

None near the level of Sterling yet, not even Ibe.

Think we should use the Sterling money (predominantly) to sort out other areas but there are some cheap options we could look at.

Konoplyanka is available on a free (though I've never seen him play so wouldn't be my choice) and seems highly rated by many on here.
Pedro is supposedly available for 7m.
Jese is available for loan, should jump on that with option to buy. He's already more effective than Sterling in my view.

Put the kids on loan if they are ready and see if they can make that step up. Re evaluate end of season. Worked wonders for Ibe and (to a lesser extent due to the injury) Teixeira and I hope we see both of those two getting games next season.

Ibe, Ojo, Sinclair have all been on loan and did very very very well.

Tex has played brilliantly at Brighton as well.

Btw Sterling never joined another team on loan.

And you think they are ready to make the required impact now?
Sterling was played because we had no one else.

One thing BR is good at is developing young talent, of that, most fans are convinced. My problem is for all the talent, luck, opportunities and mentality have a big say in how things work out.

Does Ibe look great because our players around him under-performed?
Did Sterling succeed last year because of Suarez and Sturridge's qualities?
Did Flanagan raise his game beyond his level in a team in form?

Players like Mellor had moments and never made it...

Truth is, they all could be great, but depending on it is a big risk and not one the club has ever or should ever take...
