The problem until recently was the 'emergency loan' ..... players out of form, favour or fitness, who were only ever going to be here for a month or two - and knew it. Some were consummate professionals and showed it, but too many without commitment, because they were going back in a few weeks. Temporary and perhaps sometimes even disruptive to the team.
Having Dasilva and now Mavididi, young talented players from Prem League clubs, however, who were here last season and desperate to establish themselves is no problem.
They want to be here and in many ways, fit in as well as our contracted players. Quick and enthusiastic, they are also very good technical players and will go on to play in the Prem - the type of players that in reality, we couldn't afford to sign permanently.
Didn't we start with a squad free of loanees in our promotion season?
I thought so too but seems as though Leon Cort joined on loan at the end of August that year... Doesnt seem right though as he didnt get ahead of Taylor for an age
Sarr needs a decent centre back next to him. He looks much better when he isn't the senior partner. I would be interested to see how he plays with Pearce.
