Wintle worked for us. Agree though, it's a way to add quality we can't afford to buy. Used judiciously.We've talked a lot on this thread about players we need to buy, but not so much about players we could get on loan.
Notts Forest had five players on loan, and they've done quite well, and may yet win the play-offs:
Keinan Davis (Villa)
Philip Zinckernagel (Watford)
Max Lowe (Sheffield United)
James Garner (Manchester United)
Djed Spence (Middlesbrough)
Nottingham Forest - Players on loan
This statistics show the compact view of all current players of the club Nottm Forest who are on loan or loaned out.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
Perhaps we will focus more on bringing in quality loan players next season? Except for Stirling, the loan market didn't really work for us last year. On the other hand, they are probably expensive, and this may not fit the Blackpool model of buying young (cheap) overlooked players and developing them.
Disco pants was immense...Hence why clubs like Celtic were interested in him..That save against Kurt Nogan against PNE was top drawer!!I thought Steve Banks was a great deal better than steady.
Remember Banksy came from Gillingham where he'd played a numberof games and so was far ahead of Grimmy in experience.Disco pants was immense...Hence why clubs like Celtic were interested in him..That save against Kurt Nogan against PNE was top drawer!!

Whilst that's true, it's a way to add quality outside your budget. Without stating the obvious comparison(s), isn't it better to spend money on players who are going to improve the team rather than collect non-playing players?The problem with those kinds of loans (Garner and Spence possibly excluded) is they tend to come with non-trivial fees attached, and the club will be on the hook for the entirety of their wages, so they don't really fit into the club's budget, so we're stuck with academy players who their parent club wants to send out for experience.
Yes true, forest will have spent a lot on those loan players. It could pay back in multiples though.

I think when you're at the top end of the PL they charge hefty loan fees for the quality, but can you see M'boro and SU(?) charging fees, more a case of shared wages I'd have thought.It depends on how much it costs to bring them in, I doubt that Forest saw much change out of £4m for the 5 players they borrowed this year, possibly nudging up towards £5m, that's way outside our budget.
Unless we can find someone who's completely surplus to requirements at their parent club, we've really only got the budget for academy players.
Think the Sterling loan was heavily weighted on his appearances, so Chelsea were ensuring he got the game time he needed to progress. I think it is a very sensible model for a PL team to take, as the loanee is cheaper if he gets played regularly, and this would allow us to target stars of the future.I think when you're at the top end of the PL they charge hefty loan fees for the quality, but can you see M'boro and SU(?) charging fees, more a case of shared wages I'd have thought.
I think you have to factor 2 quality loans into your budget and there are ways to do that moving forward.

Yes we did! I guess a club sometimes is really keen to get a player out on loan for Championship game time and will do a good deal. Especially in January maybe, if they have not had any meaningful action all season. But Sadler may have splashed out a bit then? To try to get us going when we were struggling - we brought in KDH Moore and Ronan. Might have cost us a few bob? We got Sterling via a negotiation over game time - apparently we paid more when he didn't play.We got KDH didn't we?
We got KDH didn't we?
We did, but that was L1 and we are aspiring to top end C/ship. Could he have done it in that scenario?We got KDH didn't we?
I suspect you know more than I, so fair enough.Max Lowe allegedly cost SU £3.5m, and Spence is supposedly off to Spurs for £15m, so I doubt either would've come cheap, and I doubt the clubs would've been keen on doing Forest a favour.
I can't see the likes of Zinckernagel and Davis being on less than £20,000 p/w, and I doubt that Forest would've got them for less than that, even Garner, although he's only 21, has a full season in the Championship behind him, the second half of which was spent at Forest last year, so he might not have been cheap either.
Knowing Forest's budget, I really don't think those players are going to have cost them much less than £4m for the season.

Deary me that was the opposite of puntasticWould be Grim to lose him but he's already a year into a 2 plus 1 contract and I'm sure we will choose to Maxi-mise our returns on him as I suspect we can use the money to Moore effect at the sharp end of the team.
Prior to injury Maxwell was doing a good job. It's harder to find attacking players without splashing some cash I think.
Thanks.Deary me that was the opposite of puntastic
Yeah that's how I see too. Patients everyoneSimon has already said he won’t be spending big on players this season and I guess that’s because promotion isn’t on the agenda. He will want the club infrastructure to be completed first, so we have a ground capable of competing in the Premiership. He’ll be looking at consolidating again and will only spend in January if we’re near the bottom three. Steady progress.

It’s going to be a hugely difficult division next season with the addition of the three from the Premier plus Wigan and Sunderland. I understand that we cannot spend big but I just hope we spend enough to stay in the division. I’m not sure the present squad is up to that.Simon has already said he won’t be spending big on players this season and I guess that’s because promotion isn’t on the agenda.

He's only 19 now so was very young when he joined Lincoln.Morgan Rogers … can’t say he particularly stood out the couple of times I’ve seen him?

NC and the management team probs on holiday after the season? Surely back soon - so let's hope things start to happen.We are on page 11 and hardly any transfer rumours on players coming t the Pool. Very disappointing!
Maxwell? Moore?West Brom need a keeper as Sam Johnstone's contract has expired.....
No I reckon Joe HartMaxwell? Moore?
