Our players out on loan

[Exiled_red]

Not sure how'd i react to that; firstly, having back a over priced, over paid and not least, another injury prone player back at our Club wouldn't do the team spirit any favours or our already over worked Physio team IMO but having said that, he can't be any worse than a couple of our first teamers eh

Imagine a prospect of Aquilani, Cole etc, back being paid top dollar just to play for the ressies and even more so for the ressies themselves

Sounds like they'll fit in well

[Gibbo]

Id like Aquilani but not Cole

[Catrin]

Under Ged the ressies ended up as a dumping ground for players we couldn't get rid of. Under Rafa we started to loan players out more and use the ressies for developing younger players. That makes more sense to me because if someone does shine whilst on loan at least we might get a few quid for them whereas there's no chance of adding any value by dumping them in the reserves.

Christ almighty Aquilani is proving to be a disaster. Even if they do but him the £ is improving against the euro so we are getting screwed even more.

[Catrin]

One of my colleagues is a Milan fan and apparently Aquilani has been staying injury free but also largely ineffectual whenever he has got onto the pitch.

[Shanks]

I think players that go out on loan don't have a future here.

Shelvey has looked a better player since coming back from Blackpool and I think he could have a long term future with the LFC.

I know it was only a month or so but injuries to Lucas and Gerrard have been a blessing in disguise for him..

I would like aquilani back , he looked like one of are best players in the pre season and was sad to see him go , even if was unsettled here.

[RedReet]

I notice Wilson has fallen off the radar at Blackpool. Injured or just useless?

[baitman]

aquilani might be a decent option, although hes likely to be on a sick note half the year. hes obviously not going to settle here, and wants to be back in italy. makes you wonder why he ever said he'd come. might be the 80k [is it?]. hes likely to get flogged on the cheap to anyone that will have him just to ship him out permanently, at a guess. something similar for the english pele [fink thats what he got called], too.

Blackpool defender Danny Wilson has been named in the Scotland Under-21 squad for the clash with Italy.

The friendly will take place at Hibernian's Easter Road ground on Wednesday 21 April, kick-off 7pm.

The 20-year-old will be looking to make his 10th appearance at that level, having already made five for the full national side.

Blackpool defender Danny Wilson believes he is reaping the benefits of regular first team football at the club.

The 20-year-old, on-loan from Liverpool, made his fifth appearance of the campaign at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, on the back of an assured showing in last weekend's win over Cardiff.

But with Ian Evatt returning from suspension and Craig Cathcart likely to figure, competition for places is at an all-time high and he won't be taking a third consecutive start for granted.

re; the development of youth team/reserve players.

i reckon that once lads become well established and look useful in the reserves they need a year or more out on loan to be given the more rough expierience of full blooded matches. this might harden them up and make them ready for first team life. there needs to be a step between the reserves and the first team, and we need to use the loan system better. it seems to have given shelvey a little bit more bite to his game.

Also I think that some young players go 'stale' if they are only playing reserve team football for a long period of time, it's as if that becomes their level, and they don't progress beyond that level.

That was in February. His last appearance was 6th March and since then he hasn't even made the bench bar once. I'm guessing by the U-21 call-up he isn't injured, but **** knows where he goes from here if he can't even make the bench at Blackpool.

new year bump for this thread.

glad we have finally sorted out the joe cole fiasco, aqualani,

still have andy carroll pending

even though ince going to Blackpool wasnt a loan, it kind of shows the value of blooding our young prospects at other clubs and let them get the needed first team experience.

maybe we can loan out coates, and bring him back a fully fledged centre back.

sink or swim, and then we will take back the survivors...
