i would like to see him more in a red shirt playing in the first team, but can we guarantee the games that he needs at this stage in his career? 30/40 starts a season. It would't be fair to the lad to keep in the reserves for more or less another whole season the lad needs to be playing week in week out at the highest level.
if he was to go out and play a full season at top level in la liga, surely this could prove invaluable to us. if liverpool can't give the player what needs then surely this is the right option, he must be under a lengthy contract seeing as he's probably our most talented youngster. imagine he comes back after banging 20 odd goals in over there, it would literally be like a new signing for us.
