Opinion remains the same fella. Villa have had to buy in a entire squad because they relied heavily on loans. Diangana may be one of the good ones but the principle is that loans should be on request to the authorities based on proven injury crisis. If clubs couldn't loan players in then maybe bigger clubs wouldn't stock pile so many young ones knowing they would never ever play and those said young players might reconsider who they Ctually signed for. Loans benefit big clubs who pretend it benefits the lower teams. #voiceofreason

Yep. They can certainly help get in better players than would otherwise be available, but then you're developing players for another side's longterm benefit. Our new management have stated they will only ever be used with an option to buy which makes more sense, but for the good of the game it would be better if it was for emergencies only.

@clintsmoker how’s your reasoning on loans after yesterday. Looks as is we could’ve used Diangana back in Claret and Blue yesterday.
WHU were toothless and out muscled in the first half yesterday without Haller to play to and hold the ball to bring the creative midfield in we barely posed any threat in the first 45.
The addition of the bruiser Antonio for the 2nd half completely changed the game, the 2nd half was lively end to end battle which either team could’ve won.
I was happy to leave with an away point, which meant my BHA mate was bearable and I wasn’t ejected for over enthusiasm in the wrong end.
Really impressed with the Amex stadium. Great views, cracking atmosphere (other than the fucking free flags for everyone to wave) and good priced beer from Harvey’s brewery.
Even got to meet Robert Snodgrass and Clyde Best (what a gent) after the game.
