Not a fan of loanees in general. If we do badly they all bugger off back to their parent club. If we do well their agent says thank you kindly and they go off to a bigger fish.
At least as our players there is some implied loyalty and we get a fee (even if it is only £300k!).

We've signed a permanent player in Barrett this window with another on the way according to Garner. Loanees are generally a cheaper way of giving us some squad depth that we wouldn't have otherwise.
Oh well, I guess it's impossible to please everyone.

Oh well, I guess it's impossible to please everyone. - the second one? Is that from Tuesdays interview or more recent? |

I agree that permanents are better than loans on the whole. But loans are done because they suit all parties involved. When a club gets a striker on loan that scores them 20 goals it plays a big part in their season. The chances are they wouldn’t be able to get that calibre of player permanently.
Loans tend to be unproven so they can be a bit of a mixed bag, some might be too good for that level, some might not be good enough. But the fact that you’re not offering to pay them full time wages for the next 2-3 years means they are relatively risk free.

Yeovil got to the championship on loan players! Yes I know they are non-league now but they're luck was bound to run out especially on their gates.

We are Bristol Rovers built around loans and tents. We know now why Coughlan left as he was not suitable to bring on and coach young mainly untried players to replace experienced players sometimes played too much! Thanks GC for getting us enough points to try out this new plan to run or perhaps it will ruin the club.Do yer belts up for the ride!!

It is a bit of a weird one in our current context - signing some young players to bed in for next season would have been a sensible move but signing loans in what is now a nothing season seems a bit of a waste of time.
I agree with the original poster that if they do well then they’ll end up costing you more or going elsewhere.

A mere drop in the ocean against what we’ll save when JCH, Bennett & Nichols exit the building tomorrow.

Loans are key for pretty much every side outside the top 6 in the prem! Especially for lower leage sides in January to beef up the squad without spending too much money. So many teams have success with them and our record of loanees is definitely less impressive but its a new era now and maybe BG can do better in the market than his predecessors. We can only hope.

If we have used all our wage budget, which it sounds like we have has been told need to let players go in order to sign players, then we can only rely on loans to improve the squad. We could be paying no contributions to their wages.

Im not saying we will make the top 6 but cant really say it's now a nothing season when we are still in the mix - if we start finding form. |

I can’t see is making the top six this season at all but your right there’s plenty left to play for as it stands. |

As things stand with not lost any of GC's experienced players, added Barrett and swapped the likes of Smith for other loan players? Where's the evidence BG just intends coaching young untried players, if he did the team he selected on Tuesday was an odd for him! |
