It isn't a given that young player have an absolute need to be loaned out. Not all of them are the same which applies to many other things in life. I read a comment by somebody on pasoti almost the same word for word as your's plym so obviously you aren't alone in that thought tract. But, I repeat that we will not just sign somebody for the sake of it and no matter how long it takes it has to be the right choice. If these players existed then all clubs would be signing one and life would be easy. Unfortunately they don't grow on trees. Using the pizza theme, would you rather wait for a pretty decent one even if it took a bit longer or would you rather have an absolute crap one you couldn't eat in 5 minutes you could do nothing with? If it is the latter as you suggest then I won't be coming round yours for a pizza any time soon.
If we had beaten Swansea....we would have been drawn away to Brighton in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup.
