I hope not, yes loans are ok, but their is the possibility they will be recalled in January or not as commited as a permanent signing. I would rather bring in some out of contract, youngsters where their is a possibility they could improve under us and have a resale value. Some of the loans in the past remind me of renting a house, rather than buying it. Take Cadden for instance he done well for us on loan, recalled in January which made columbus want 1 million for him. Way more than they payed for him 6 months before. Forget loans until atleast end of August and let's try and get players on are books.
Loans are an essential part of lower league football and are crucial for how we opperate. For every Cadden there are plenty more players that stayed for a whole season and did well for us, players who we wouldn't have had a hope in hell of getting had we tried to buy them at the time. Roofe, Baldock, Kenny, Martinez, Kane, Garbutt, Browne, Sinclair, Taylor, Woodburn, Holland, Kelly were all too expensive to buy when we brought them in but added to the team on a temporary basis.
I'm not sure the rent/mortgage comparison works, unless the rent payments would be much less than the mortgage ones and there's a chance your house could be repossessed every 2-3 years unless you agree a new contract.
