Loans and feeder clubs

[Krafty]

With Taarabt and Kaboul looking likely to go out on loan for the season, is there anyone else you can think of that would benefit from a few months to a seaosn out on loan?

Also, does anyone think it would be good to to build a link, like we have with Leyton Orient, with a championship side, or perhaps a SPL team?

we should only loan out certain academy/reserve players that are due to progress or need to be given first team football so we can sell them for as much as possible. We need a bigger first team squad this season now that you can have 7 subs, though im sure we may sometimes fill those extra two subs bench places for Academy players that need to show there skills at the top level.

Might be good to have a link with a championship side, but dont see the point in sending our youth players north of the border to the SPL.

Watford as a feeder team? :shrug:

They came into my head too, but dont think they would agree to it. I'm sure they aspire to being back in the premiership.

Maybe feeder team is the wrong term, but a link up, where we have talks each season about players we want to get games, players they would like to have on loan etc

We have done very well moving players from the academy to the reserves, but we cant let them play reserve team football for too long. Reserve team football is generally dire, its not competitive or regular enough. Players like Tommy Forecast, Alnwick, maybe Livermore, Pekhart

We will soon become Man Utd's feeder club if we can't hold onto our top players..
