He did? More than likely Elliott was good enough to play even then but we just didn't want to play him yet for whatever reason. I can't really think of any player that went out on loan at almost any club and then became good enough. Either their good enough or they're not and then it's just a question of what minutes are available.
Lmao
You are saying that if we send this lad or some of the other youngsters to a German, French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese club for a season or so, it will NOT lead to his game improving?
A lot of players go to different clubs on loan and definitely become better. Even if they are not ready for the first team, their value definitely increases.
