German sides without European football just don't play enough games for these loans to be sure things unless the player is a De Bruyne or Christensen definite starter. Only 34 league games + the German Cup. If there's no injuries, there's barely any rotation. The same thing happened with Burke at Leipzig last year.

I suspect your theory is probably on the money as we will probably see Livermore in the seniors when we have better in the U21 that could/should have been promoted. We will know soon enough
Do you think promising players are better off going to play in the lower leagues or on the continent?
Well done to #lufc u23 goalkeeper Will Huffer who has been called up to England u20s— LUFC Youth (@leedsutdacademy) November 9, 2017
I think it's always a case by case basis. I think loan moves can often be problematic and permanent moves are preferable. Also think that for either loans or permanent moves, the lads need to try to get at their new clubs early in the pre-season.
Good for him. Was having a search around to see if he'd ever said anything about playing for England the other day. The increase in U18 + U20 football in the last few years has really been good for getting these type of prospects involved. I suspect Jacob Bedeau can't be far off a look at some level either.
Benfica B trio Chris Willock, Kalaica and Martin Chrien will be loaned out during the January window as Benfica want them to play more competitive football than 2nd tier football. [A Bola] pic.twitter.com/AkInpZexcJ— Jan Freðrik Hagen (@JanFHagen) November 14, 2017
I was wondering earlier if Willock was getting anywhere at Benfica. Seemingly not. He'll be 20 in January.
Losing 2-0 atm. Don't think we've been too bad. Started poorly but then settled. A bit aimless in the final third. Ramsdale with an error for the second goal conceded. Germany playing primarily on the counter.
We've completely dominated this whole half. Hit the bar but not really had the cutting edge in the final third all game. Ugbo only getting 15 mins from the bench feels harsh. Decent display overall.
What happened to Harvey Barnes, can't see that he's been involved or have I missed it, not watched all the game. Edit: he just scored, lol. To be fair I've only seen the last 10 mins and been distracted
What a goal that was!! 2-1 Brilliant play and lovely backheel pass from Edwards and cool finish from Barnes in the top corner.
I take your word for it as from what I saw we pretty much had all the attacking play and lots of possession so despite the loss, feels like you can take more positives. Edwards looked impressive yet again, seriously can't understand who Poch doesn't give him more of a go for Spurs.
Nicely worked goal by @harveybarnes97 the #EnglandU20 team. Decent overall performance in a 2-1 loss to Germany. pic.twitter.com/Ke1vTlJq9W— Barryfrom (@Barryfrom) November 14, 2017
