He didn't waste all that time off the team and trained well....

"Some playing time"? It's the usual Barca method of getting rid of young players. Giving them false hope that they could still have a Barca future by loaning them out instead of selling but in reality everyone knows they won't return. Bojan loan saga part 2. Could have gotten € 10 or € 15 million a few years ago, now he's maybe worth € 3M. Same will happen with Tello.
I think that we need depth until the end of the season. We should keep him imo.
Two players on the left wing, two on the right wing , is useful.
. deulofeu, rafinha, pique, etc were or are loaned out an do you think they have no future at barca?
Also, he can be a great second half super sub. His pace against a tiring defense will be very useful.
Those players weren't loaned out when they were 22 and already part of the first team. Loaning out U20 youth players is a different matter (Pique wasn't loaned btw).
If we are loaning him out, we are loaning him out because he can't get playing time. If he can't get playing time now, he won't get playing time in 2 or 3 years with Neymar getting even better and Adama, Deulofeu etc. knocking on the door.
That scenario will remain theory for ever. Let's say we need a goal. Do you really think Neymar is going to come off for Tello? Let's say we don't need a goal. Will Tello be satisfied with garbage minutes here and there?
Just cash in and be done with it.
