Still think he could do with a loan. Looked way off it on Monday when he came on. 

 

Do what Villa do, get a couple of loans in to fill the squad gaps, let him & Osula go and smash it for someone like Leicester & Southampton next year. 

Only costing Villa half a mill a week for their couple of loans.

I understand the sentiment but loans aren't free. In order to loan Miley out we would need to incur two additional loan fees plus wages which are likely much higher than Mileys. 

 

We need Eddie to give the lad more minutes as we don't have the option to loan him out imo.

I don't think he should be loaned out, he's already shown he's good enough to play for the first team, even played in the champions league and held his own, next year we will definitely have more games and it will be a chance to give him more minutes and continue his progress.

I've always said I like the idea of keeping young players around rather than loans so they can train with the squad, feel involved, learn from Eddie, etc. with Miley though he's already had a run of senior games, played at the highest level. Just feel a season of regular football would be his natural next step.

Your taking a chance though with how threadbare we are in midfield. 

Plus would he be guaranteed games out on loan. 

If teams struggle they seem to sacrifice the young players for experience.

I would prefer he is loaned out and we get in a CM or two.  He needs regular football we need a player close to the standard of Joelinton.  
 

If we only get Europa. He would get those Europa League games so he should stay.  If we get CL we need to use the money to improve our quality in depth.  1 perm. 1 loan signing.

Who was the last young player we loaned to a PL club out of interest. Milner? 

 

Leeds would be a good move if they could guarantee him 20-25 starts or something. 

 

Again, I'd only loan him out if we could get a short term CM back up for a season.

Game time this season will be limited, as it will for all outside the core XI (Gordon/Barnes/Murphy only rotation). One game a week, it’ll be roll with near same XI and changes in final 10 unless game is dead and buried either way. 
 

Next season, depending how we finish, he could be needed first early games for Euro qualifying and starting several games by October. If we’re in UCL, he’s got to be trusted to start league games as rotation will be needed then.
