Newcastle United news: Fan views on Lewis Miley

We asked for your views on whether 18-year-old Lewis Miley should be sent out on loan next season.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: He absolutely needs to stay! With Europe, hopefully in the Champions League, there will be plenty of opportunity for the minutes he needs for fluency. We have been saying we need better squad depth all season – it would be lunacy to loan him out!

Josh: I think Miley would benefit from a loan, either with one of the relegated clubs in the Championship like Leicester or Ipswich, or with one of the promoted clubs like Burnley, Sheffield United or Leeds. Yes, he wasn’t brilliant against Leicester but in all honesty I don’t think anyone was, and he has put in some amazing displays. Give it to the end of the season and we’ll see – I’m a bit on the fence with this one.

Matthew: If you send out Miley and William Osula on loan, who takes their place on the bench? Surely staying and training with the first team will benefit them in the long run. It’s also worth remembering we’ll be playing European football next season which will mean more game time for the both of them.

Dave: Miley makes little impact at the moment when he does come on and he is not advanced enough physically to put his stamp on the game. He does little wrong but does not get involved, so a loan out may be best plan.
