In the short term, we don't have the biggest squad so cutting a player even for a limited period of time is a risky move. He appeared to be one who Harris was trying to build up into a productive player this season.
In the longer term, Gavin Whyte has one of the longest contracts at the club (he's in the Bacuna club as is Nelson, Moore and Phillips to give you an idea) and he needs a run of games to turn potential into performance and then regular performances.

Bad transfer all round. How much was spent on him? 1m?

I agree with you it's risky and worries me considering our injury history of late and subs management. I wouldn't send him out on loan when we could be in a real scrap as the season ends. Depends what Harris has up his sleeve re. a replacement. I'm not a fan of too many loan players and actually don't want another one signed - at least the contracted players are City players and we're not going to be doing much this season so may as well develop the lad. I know I'll probably be in the minority here.
