Ironic thing about Josh is if he didnt go out on loan this season he would have probably got a handful of starts in his prefered position with all the injuries we've had. Luck plays such a big role in a kids breakthrough at this level and Josh seems to have none of it.
At the beginning of the season I said he'd struggle for games if he stayed here. Winks appeared to be ahead of him in the pecking order.
I could see any combination of Dembele, Dier, Wanyama and Winks starting. But I couldn't see Winks and Onomah starting together. So Onomah would either play the more advanced role or get no game time.
But you are right, with our injuries he actually could have got game time if he'd stayed. Shame but no way we could have seen it coming.
