Archie Gray is a good example of a very talented 18 y/o. Miley needs game time to up his level and develop. 
If he’s not looking getting many meaningful minutes with us I’d like to see go on loan in Jan.

Guardiola managed Foden this way. He didn’t give him full game time for like 5 years and he’s developed great.

I think you keep Miley here training under Eddie Howe and his team, developing not only his understanding with his own teammates but tactically learning from our team and analysts. Sending him out for 1st team minutes to a team with inferior coaching doesn’t always pan out, particularly if he’s a loaned player, always seems that unless its a desperate situation or loaned player is playing brilliantly they get shoved right back down to the bench in favor of someone who is contracted to that specific club.

Considering our loan team, it's probably not the brightest of ideas to send him out....sitting on a bench in Dumbarton never getting any minutes

[jackyboy]

I think he's already a member of our first team and proved his class whenever he had to step up. No way will he benefit from being loaned out to a lower division team

He needs more PL football - anything else is a step backward

Shola to the rescue....a 6 month spell in IAK Akranes reserves

Honestly, if he’s getting loaned it - it should be some continental Europe team - La Liga or something.

Howe was very clear in one of the recent pre-match press conferences that Miley is not being loaned out. What's sparked this discussion?

Cause most people equate game time with development, that's why.

The Championship is a great place for a player to develop. 
 

Jude was playing there at that age.

Not all loans are created equally, no point unless he's with a manager who can commit to playing him and help develop, that's not a given. I don't trust our loan team to get him the right placement and I'd rather see him given minutes ahead of Longstaff or even Willock come season end.

Anderson seems to have excelled by starting on a regular basis at Forest, compared to when he was here training with Bruno and Tonali.

Anderson would’ve excelled here at us. Just he got an injury at a time when he was starting to click, even back end of season he was looking bright. 
 

Easily forgotten how many minutes he was getting last season. Think if he didn’t get sold, he would’ve easily been ahead of Willock in the pecking order.

Aye last season should have been the making of Anderson, but he was injured and Miley took his chance. Sliding doors moment
