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.

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
