I would guess he expected/hoped he'd feature for the first team. Now that has patently been shown not to be the case, perhaps he'll consider a loan more seriously.

Living the dream
Especially looking at how it's going with Ben White at Leeds.

I dont expect GP to bring Baluta in against Palace I would think a more likely option would be Mooy to replace Dale and Alzate to take Mooys place with Montoya coming at right back. To me that seems the logical move.

Yes, you can't rule much out with Potter, but I doubt he'll bring someone from not in the squad straight to the first team to give them a Premier League debut away at Palace. I expect the talk has come because of the similarities in playing style.

Joining Den Haag on loan.

Best of luck to Tudor.
Perhaps Pardew will teach him some dance moves...

Great move for him, think he can do some good things in that league while gaining some more first team experience.

Can we interpret that if he is allowed to go out on loan we won’t be selling any other centre backs?

Potter has already said at a press conference that Bernardo can play at centre back, so I don't think we'd turn down an offer for Balogun.
The day the Albion run out of centre backs is the day the ravens will leave the tower.
Or should that be the day seagulls leave palace pier.

No. Baluta is a defensive midfielder.

I was under the impression that he's primarily a DCM that can also play CB.

Another one we will never see playing for the stripes!

Don't be so sure. He is young, and still counts as an U21 next season.

MIDFIELDER HEADS TO DEN HAAG
Albion midfielder Tudor Baluta has joined Dutch Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag on a loan deal until the end of the season.
The Romanian international heads to the Netherlands on a deal that runs until 30th June, and will link up with Alan Pardew’s team for the remainder of the campaign.
Albion’s technical director Dan Ashworth said, “Tudor is one of a number of talented young players at the club, and this loan move will be excellent for his development.
“He will have a chance to play regularly at a very high standard in the Dutch Eredivisie, and work under a very experienced coach in Alan Pardew.
“Myself, Graham Potter, David Weir, and his team will continue to monitor his progress, and we wish him all the very best for the rest of the season.”
Baluta arrived at Albion from FC Viitorul Constanta in January 2019, before returning to the club on loan.
He returned to Albion ahead of the current campaign, and made his one first-team appearance to date in the Carabao Cup third round tie against Aston Villa in September.
The 20-year-old has also played five times in the Premier League 2 for Simon Rusk’s under-23 side, and in three Leasing.com Trophy matches against Southend United, Leyton Orient and Newport County.

I hope he gets playing time out there, and not just a bench warmer.

Why oh why oh why?
Given they're currently 17th (of 18) in the Eredivisie, I'd expect them to be trying out new options!
