If they want us to follow the "Athletico Madrid" model, then they may as well have made us follow the Chelsea model. They loaned Courtois and Filipe Luis out to Athletico for 3-4 years to allow them to develop, then took them back after they'd won the league and all that. Had we done that with Darmian or Aubamayang, they'd still be on our books and we could have recalled them at any time we wanted. Given how well our academy players seem to do several years after we release them, I don't get why we haven't been doing so in the first place....
Question, is that what we've done with Mastour? I don't recall how long his loan term was.
