Just about to share. Doubt he would of signed new contract if he could not go out on loan.Apparently Josh has been begging Poch to let him go on loan for some time.

Is there a recall option? Just in case for whatever reason the squad thins out from injuries throughout the season.
So, according to the Indie, we could have loaned Josh to the EPL or Celtic.
I'm not fussed about his avoiding Huddersfield & Burnley, but Brighton under Chris Hughton would have been an interesting option. I would have trusted Hughton to use Josh wisely far more than I'd trust Bruce, and he would have been playing against PL players week in week out.

So Onomah, unusually for someone his age, has never been on loan. At the start of the summer Huddersfield, Brighton and Burnley were all interested in taking him but Spurs said no. A good offer from Celtic, where he would have played more, was rejected too.

We've had it before though when loaning to a team that is in a relegation battle and the manager shies away from player our loan youngster.
At Villa he'll be at a team that should be winning regularly. Onomah has a different skill set to the plodders at Villa so likely to get more game time.
Personally think he is seen as a serious long term successor to moussa
To do that though he needs a lot of game time. Box to box midfield is probably the hardest position to master. You need everything and to master it experience is needed.
And before someone says Steve G went straight in ....... he didn't have someone as good as moussa to get in front of when learning his trade!
Loan for a year, he develops, moussa gets another year older. Next season he plays a lot more if he develops at the right rate and moussa declines at the right rate
Why? IMO its better than getting a few minutes here and there when he has four others above him in the pecking order for CM. He is still a part of us as the club has extended his contract. His loan deal will now allow TOB or Edwards more game time with the 1st 11Disappointed.
But that's on Josh.
If he is outstanding for villa, a class above this season (assuming it happens) then he'll be in a much better position.
