All decent points.
Loans are a fundamental part of the game, always has been, always will be.
Even top teams throughout the world use loan players.
The simple fact is that for ourselves, it can provide an opportunity to watch a player, play for Aberdeen that we could not normally afford.
Alternatively, it could provide access to a player with a view to permanently bringing in on board.
Yes, loan players could be seen to stifle the opportunity for youth, but I would reiterate that if they are good enough, they’ll demand the opportunity. I would also add that this season, do we not have fewer players on loan, so arguably are impacting the youth less.

Looks like that is us done for this window.
Surprised that we have brought in another left sided defender, in an area where we are already reasonably well off with Shinnie, Consi and Hoban.
And yet we are short in the wide areas, if GMS and McGinn get injured. I can see the reasoning in making space for Ross and Wright to flourish, but given they both appear to prefer a more central role, time will tell.
Need to find out what Forrester brings to the table, and quick. Tomorrow, maybe? No passengers, min
