He didn't deserve to start regularly last season when DCL and Richarlison were scoring. That doesn't mean he shouldn't have maybe got more minutes as a sub and it doesn't mean we should have allowed a loan move to one of the richest clubs in the world.
It hasn't worked out and we are almost certain to sell him, but it's hard to argue he never got enough starts. This is top flight football and you have to take your chances when they are given. We just don't see our young players take their opportunities enough these days. We maybe haven't handled it as well as we could, but I'm not sure things would have turned out any differently even if he had started a few more games.
