Wow! I don't mean to impose on the bitchfest going on between a few of you....
Whether Dani turns into a superstar or not, he is one of our most talented youngsters (along with Suso, Stirling, and Shelvey). The problem I have with this is the same problem I had when we let Warnock go a few years ago.... how many of us would love to have him back now? I'd venture to bet everyone on here would take him back in a heartbeat! If we let Dani go, it will probably be for peanuts, and we could well end up regretting it down the road.
As for Roy's part in all of this.... I'm a bit disappointed that he has been so reluctant to give some of the youngsters (Kelly and Shelvey aside) minutes against some of the lower level teams. If he had given Dani 20-30 mins on a few occasions and it looked like he wasn't up to snuff, I doubt many people would really take issue with it. The problem is, he hasn't had many opportunities, and the few he has had, he's done quite well with.
I see this as one that could well bite us in the ass in a few years. I felt the same about Dalla Valle when we pissed him away for (cringe) Paul Konchesky
