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

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.

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.

He is 100% not getting loaned out but Howe needs to start using him instead of bringing on players like Almiron when he has no future at the club. Pissed me off when he left him on the bench against Brentford in the cup and brought him on.

He's just returned from a long-term injury, no?

No way as in he wouldn’t have progressed and excelled under Howe? Or No way he wouldn’t have been ahead of Willock in pecking order if he hadn’t got injured and sold this summer?

Willock offers us more than Anderson. In all honesty - whilst I liked the kid and he's a good footballer he was probably 4th or 5th choice at CM for us. I'm of the view Miley holds more promise for us.

I am not a huge fan of miley but think he will be a useful squad player for us. Kind of similar to sean tbh, especially as we are reaching for the top over the next 3-5 years.

I just haven't seen enough/any "star" moments from him that make me think he will be an undroppable player. 

Hopefully, I am a footy fuckwit and he turns into the next Rodri! Here's hopin' !!

I am the same ,  he looks half decent 

 

Haven’t seen enough to get excited yet 

 

I am very hopeful though as he seems like he has an unbelievable attitude and a will to develop his game

Only proper footballers pick that assist. He's gonna be elite.

I’ve seen hundreds of academy players do similar and then drop out the game.
 

I really want him to do well. 


Needs to be exceptionally good as he has real no turn of pace , he can cover the ground though and has a great football brain.

Depends on his defensive / danger reading ability, but I do feel if he’s naturally got that which can be tapped into, then the deep CM where everything goes through him is his long term position for club and country. 
 

Very comfortable receiving ball with his back to play which is key in that role. But at his age, he’s got plenty of time to grow into that with his technical ability.
