Ex Player Nathan Holland

This is another good signing. We are starting to see some very decent players coming in to add to a very talented group.
 
Well they can’t have him he’s ours they will have to pay over the odds ?oh wait he’s another loanee so we don’t have a say in where he goes in the summer ?
 
This is why us old negatives hate the loan system in it's current format, always use to be loan "with a view to buy" and normal some fee was agreed
As i've always said we're just developing players for the benefit of other clubs, stop kidding yourselves because if any Championship club want him we're blown straight out of the water and not even at the starting line.

Things move on, we have inside toilets and cars without horses now.

It would do nothing for his development to get smashed to pieces each week. If he helps us do well or just have some entertaining games towards the end of the season who cares. It shows we are trusted to develop players and look after them well.

Loans suit everyone. Our permanent players like Henry know they can trust loans like Taylor to get on the end of crosses and up their game.

We probably wont get Holland on a permanent but then I never thought we would get Roofe... but loan players like Woodburn, looking at the start of the season where they might get some match experience, will look positively at OUFC and that helps us all.

Well if you're happy to keep breaking up a squad rebuilding going through the same s**t every summer and now risk events like January then good luck

Without the top loans we’d just have big old boys from Exeter and Mansfield on permanent deals, with some skinny kids from the youth team. The loan system gives us access to better players and other clubs use it too - how else were Accy able to field those good players?

Yeah I agree, these players coming here, scoring goals, firing us towards the playoffs and maybe promotion. What's in it for us?

I sort of agree, and a reliance on loan players is now a fact of life in the lower leagues so we do have to play that particular game.
But I think the balance has gone too far, with too many loan players being allowed in a match day squad. I think the effect of that is twofold. Firstly it means that lower league teams end up having to rebuild their teams season on season - the loan players leave and the best players get cherry picked by teams higher up once the transfer window opens. Secondly it means there are less spaces in the squad for the club's own young players - who will stay longer than the loanees and if half way decent will end up being sold, thus helping the club keep afloat.
So while I like to see the young talent from other clubs, I think I'd like to see a bit less of it! :)
