Intersting blog on loans https://bluetintedreborn.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/empty-vessels-the-loan-system-in-english-football/
Makes good points on some of the problems with loans and how they don't fit for everyone. I actually remember a few of us saying we don't think Onomah would do well on loan for various reasons, and he is seemingly struggling. However when the options is zero game time, or hoofball, going on loan is still probably the better option if just to earn the club some money. I cringe when I see, so and so can't get into that team how can you expect them to play for us. I don't believe intelligent football fans can really use that as an argument but it is used so often. There are so many outside factors affecting things, how about putting talented footballers among other talented footballers and judging them then
