When Football Clubs Don't Use Loan Players

[Lolmorgan]

Some clubs ( not necessarily us) have budgets that can’t support a full squad. So as insurance they loan players hoping the parent club pays a significant part of their wages, using the player as insurance for a regular team member. This sort of works but if the regular player stays fit then the loan “ insurance” player doesn’t actually play but just sits on the bench.

Some parent clubs insist that their player plays a significant number of times otherwise they don’t contribute to his wages.

I suspect ( but just my own view) that we got Blackman this way, which is why we saw him play in preference to Johannson and Vickers.

It’s highly possible that it could be why we are seeing Tutu starting games for us

All the more reason to make sure they are good loans then rather than gap fillers Grist.Some of our loans have been poor & a waste of good money.

Every manager makes bad signings
Alex Ferguson did but he spent millions doing it.

No manager ever in the history off football hasn't made signings that hasn't worked out
