The loan market..

[Pollingtonblade]

bit of discussion and a query, when does the loan market close?

Do people think we use this successfully ?

It's been mooted on here about Coventry and them signing good young loan players, the obvious good ones we've signed recently are Brayford and Coady.

It seems strange this year especially we are crying out for pace all our eggs appear to have gone into getting Hammond since the window shut.

Hammond. Eggs. Hmmmm. Have you done that on purpose?

Atkins has said he will use the loan market. The trouble is historically we've had too many duffers on loan who don't improve the team, and just the occasional decent player.

Sorry I meant post the transfer window shutting.

Loans or signings, we need players with hunger and a point to prove. If we know it, players know it - SUFC pay good wages, have low expectations and the culture of the club's transfer policy naturally attracts the wrong type of person.

one window closes another opens

I said on another thread, if I was a PL manager I just wouldn't send a young player to Bramall Lane. The atmosphere is too hostile and enough players of our own seem to go backwards. If you'd invested £100,000s in a player, would you realistically put him somewhere where the team is regularly being booed off, players being hammered? Being pragmatic, I can't see it myself.

Our future moves into the loan market should focus on young players. Every single established player we've loaned with a decent reputation has been garbage - there's always a reason they drop to League One in the first place. Whereas we see countless young loanees excel for our rivals in this division.

Ambitious ones might consider the lift they'd get from a successful Sheffield United team powering it's way out of the third division.

There's nothing dictating that we have to be absolutely shit forever. It's really not too much of a fairy-tail.

Of course, the atmos at Coventry/Northampton has been one of love and togetherness for many years now.

Possibly or possibly not. I think there's likely to be a feel good factor at Cov since the ground ownership was resolved. But some of the stuff shouted at George Long at Gillingham for example was extreme even by football standards. Ditto Hammond is hardly getting an easy run (I know he's had a very slow start).

To be honest I suspect it is more about regular game time for younger players, building up the confidence and getting used to the rigours of competitive football. That's more important than winning a league, etc.
