Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This is the model Liverpool operate. Instead of paying a hefty loan fee up front, you pay a loan fee at the end based on appearances. Its not really a penalty as I imagine the club will have factored in that our loanees may not play every game. The gaffer will have no hesitation in leaving the loanees out if they are not cutting it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,399 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This was thought by us to be the case and obviously why he is playing so often and at times ineffectively,hope he meets the number of games quickly so another solution can be sought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 We've had really limited success from all these loanees. We should only be loaning players if they're much better than what we've got, or what we can buy, and often they aren't even good enough in the first place. It plugs a gap and should be used sparingly. The exception to the rule is if we have an option to buy the player at the end of the loan. At least we might get some sort of long term gain out of it then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejaria had a slower start, but has been fantastic over the past 3-4 games. Kent is raw, but is keen fast & direct and has been improving game to game. Sadiq has been the biggest disappointment (so far)....limited game time & when he has played, hasn't really shown anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,815 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Of the current loanees, only Kent is not yet meritting the amount of starts he gets. I reckon SG is trying to reach the quota of both him and Ejaria early, so he has not have to pick him later on. The OF game was stick on for a Candeias - Tav - flank, and the former would sure have stopped Tierney from having the freedom he got. But the season is young ... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd say Coulibaly has been the only clear success so far from the current lot Looking long term, there should be much more a focus on developing our talent than other teams'. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,261 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think the 'pay for not playing' clause should help concentrate the mind of the club who are taking the player on loan when it comes to due dilligence and suitability for starting XI. Wrt to Liverpool loanees, we have the advantage of Gerrard's first hand knowledge of them as players and their character. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterbear 557 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Coulibally, Ejaria have both been very good for me. Kent has been reasonable but wouldn’t have played him at Parkhead. Sadiq hasn’t had a game other than a few mins v St M. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,424 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Does anybody else think that the loan system is to the detriment of football in general? I think that it makes things too easy for rich clubs. Would football be more competitive without it? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
