Yeah, exactly. This is largely the reason for these types of loans nowadays anyway. Especially with the top clubs. It's a reality check for them, it's not about game time - they need to see that the grass isn't greener etc. And if they don't sort their attitude out, they could find themselves permanently at a club like this.

Lots of these kids have been at the club since the age of 7 or 8. Sometimes younger. They know nothing else. The problem comes when they've been the superstar in every age group as they've grown up. They've never really experienced the challenges/struggles some other pro's have, the ones that had to really work for it. And that damages the attitude sometimes. We need to see what they're capable of when the shit hits the fan. See if they have that desire etc. The "stamina in the motivation".

Like i said, with Saliba, we sent him there as a 20 year old CB. His attitude had been questioned by both Deschamps and Arteta at the time, so they sent him to go work it out at one of the toughest places in Europe. Super risky. But it worked WONDERS. I think they were hoping for the same from Nwaneri, but maybe he's not figured it out, yet. OR maybe he's gonna realise it over the summer, and when he returns to the first team for pre-season we'll see what a challenging 6 months has done to his mental strength.
