Loans

[pne4eva2003]

All this talk about loans going on at the moment are these classed as "emergency" loans or can any team loan a player from the Prem/other Leagues at this present time?

Should we be gunning for anyone in particular? Obviously we will have to wait and see what happens when the window opens as to whether bids come in for any of our players, in January, but say that they didn't would we still be out for buying someone or would our team be fine as it is? What part of the team would you be looking to strengthen come January?

Saying this because I just felt a bit of a nerd when talking about Alan Smith. Someone said they wished we were getting him and I said but then who would we drop he said any of the strikers...I'd drop Nugent for Smith 😕 He said that Smith would make mincemeat out of a Championship League defence...although I really like Alan Smith I don't know if I would agree with that or not. He said take a look at what Chopra's doing at Cardiff, he's making mincemeat out of their opponents 😕

Re: Loans

i wouldn't get smith in on loan. we have enough strikers and quality already. in jan, we need some more cover in defence and also central midfield if as predicted, stock and jarrett leave.

other than that, i wouldnt get any emergency loans in at the moment. it may upset the applecart. we will do till january

Re: Loans

Older, experienced head for in middle of defence when things do go wrong or an injury etc. If stocky and Jarrett leave then its a replacement in central midfield as said too. I would expect Simmo to go for someone who was quality and not just someone who could replace the two if needs be.

Smith on loan? No thanks. Don't upset the balance. We have 4 scoring strikers atm, in those terms, we are probably the envy of many a manager in teh Championship tbh. How many teams can say they have 4 strikers currently on form and scoring with one who is arguably our 2nd best striker out on the wing and another injured on the sidelines.

Re: Loans

All are classed as `emergency` loans to get around EUFA rules.

A club has to give written reasons to the FL why they need this loan. (Any old bullshit will do).

These reasons are not published and are kept private (I wonder why?).

EG last season Southampton were granted an emergency loan to get Rasiak from Spurs, obviously they were short of forwards you would think, then a few days later loaned OUT Fuller (who I recall being a forward!!!) to Ipswich.

My argument with this is that the Football League are rulemakers, but seem to have no problems themselves bending the rules of their governing body when they want.
