Sky Sports understands Bristol Rovers striker Ryan Brunt is a target for a number of clubs on loan.
Rovers are thought to be open to the idea of letting Brunt depart for a spell so that he can get some valuable first-team action under his belt.
The former Stoke youngster is keen to make a temporary switch in a bid for much-needed game time after seeing his season last term curtailed early by injury.
The 21-year-old found himself out of action from November onwards last term with a knee injury, but he is now back in action and is determined to build up his match fitness.
Brunt, who joined Rovers from Stoke in January 2013, scored five goals in 18 games in his first season at the Memorial Stadium, playing a key role in helping them stay up in League Two that campaign.
Several Football League clubs have been alerted to Brunt's availability on loan and his suitors are now hoping to take the powerful target-man on a temporary basis as they look to bolster their attacking options.

It doesn't look like he's going to get much of a chance with us so loaning him out and seeing if he can rediscover his form is no bad thing IMO.
Especially if his wages are as much as we're led to believe.

Agree, he hasn't fully returned his fitness/form and we haven't got time to mess around to give him the games to regain that and there aren't enough development games so makes sense to try and offload him.

I'm intrigued as to what sort of club he is going to end up at?

Wouldn't make sense geographically but that sort of level would make sense.

When he scored that late winner against Barnet he was in such great form. He used to hold the ball up so well and link play so intelligently. That injury has completely knocked the stuffing out of him and it will take him some time to get back to his best. I hope he is still in DC's long term plan's because if he get's his form and match fitness back he can offer us so much.

If you can say Brunt would be a help at the moment.

If you can say Brunt would be a help at the moment. Yes, but if it meant getting him off the wage bill then we may be willing. I would say someone like Exeter but I doubt they would pay his wages. Grismby are so r desperate that they might pay nearly all his wage.

I'd be happy to loan him to a team at this level. They'd have to be a lower half team and of course have a clause where he can't play against us. He may help a team out this level but might also damage a couple of teams you never know! They'd have to be full time though and I'd put him on recall.
As for loaning him to a team a league above, I'd only do it if he were having some chance of starting. No point having him gone if he isn't picking up game time he may aswell be here. He could be vital if we don't pick up Cunnington for an extended time.
Although I have a feeling the bit about football league clubs being interested may be a bit of agent talk.

Don't think we will be too concerned about if he gets game time or not. Can't see him playing for us again. Priority will be how much of his wages teams are prepared to pay.

Either he comes back fully fit and in form or we get a decent fee for him.

I did not know he was out of contract. If he goes on loan then he clearly isn't coming back. Surely it's better to just mutually terminate his contract?

Surely it's better to just mutually terminate his contract? Why? That would cost us money. Try and get as much money as we can for his wages from loaning him out.

Depends mate, unless there has been a falling out of sorts then we could well need him when the Cunnington loan runs out

Is that allowed outside the transfer window if he wants to sign for someone else? Good question. I wonder if the powers that be would let that happen? I find it totally confusing these days with all this loan stuff. Would a league club really be interested in taking a non league and let's face it not match fit striker on loan. From what we've seen with other players it takes a while to get match fit. Yesterday there was a thread about Keanu Marsh-Brown, which was also confusing if you read the link. FGR wanted him, and Barnet were OK with it. He wasn't. League clubs wanted him, allegedly, but supposedly Barnet didn't like that. Then there was the he was injured/oh, no I wasn't bit. ggmi, I don't follow the other teams that closely, but didn't Grimsby score thirteen in two games the other week? Do they need a striker?
