Signed on 1 months loan, came oer other lower clubs cos he likes a winning mentality, That'll do fer me.

Re: New loan signing
 

The loan market provided .... Bolton’s u19 England international striker Jack Sampson, of whom Paul Sturrock rather pithily said, “He’s a big boy. Six foot two. Left footed with a strong build”. So now you know …….. Sturrock also said, “He’s here for a month. If he excites us we’ll extend the loan”. Go on Jack – excite them!

(Quote from last season's "away" Prediction League thread v Southend)

Don't know if he excited Sturrock - hopefully he'll excite us! :D

Welcome Jack ............ By the way, the lad who wore shirt number 20 before you has only just left the club :o

Wish him well, never thought he cut it in Div2 to be honest.

Re: New loan signing
 

Anyone spotted any successful loan signings this season?

I would say Atkinson obviously, after that..........struggling.

Does that say something about the calibre of loan players in general or about our selection?

Re: New loan signing
 

most loan signings are young 1st year pros,which are being tested by there clubs at the next level ( higher than resis but lower than there first team ).
The older loanees are players that cant get into the first team and need match time or have fallen out with the manager/coaches.
Very hard for a young lad to shine against more senior pros and different systems.
Although some do make an impression,most dont,and its a reality check for them,that they have to work harder on there game.
The resis system is now a under 21 league,which in my opinion is the right way to go,so lads at 18 are not abandoned,and get another 2 years to develop.
Players have a development/growth pattern of plus or minus two years and growth spurts are random,even upto the age of 20.
Therefore releasing a kid at 18,when you really dont know his true potential until around 21-22 is just a waste of money invested in him(coaching time) from 10 to 17.
People are mistified why foreign kids are technically better than ours,but the blame lies with the pc brigade,
A study shown at Barca,a kid between 8-14 received on average 10000 hours of coaching,our academies for the same period was less than 3000 !!,coincidence or way !!

Re: New loan signing
 

Agree with lots of the above but my concern is the effect that our loan policy has on existing players.

Our 'fringe' players have seen other young players like Watson, Dawson, Mingoia, Winchelow, Sampson, Osawe, Sheppard be given preferential treatment, i.e. the management have taken a gamble on them.

I like the idea of bringing in players like Schofield and Atkinson on loan because they have a bit of pedigree and experience, and this imo should be the type of player we get in to help the young squad, not inexperienced 1st year pros who, if they were good enough for us, would be on the fringes of the first teams they have come from.
