I’m not the biggest fan of loan signing if they are good enough for a loan deal why not buy them. But it don’t work like that these days the all important baseline rules, costs within football have gone throw the roof and a lot of club see the loan deal has the cheaper option.
A lot of loan signings are destined for the rubbish bin but there is always a gem, someone you need to buy but no cash means no deal or the player is looking to go back to their club. Two that stick in my mind Eddie Newton (1991/92) from Chelsea he conquered the fans and was carried off the pitch by the fans at his last game. Chelsea not interested in selling him the then manager said he was part of a Chelsea future. Jason Koumas was the other one joins the Bluebirds from West Brom after being sideline after falling out was the manager. He was easily the player of the season but is time at the club was spoiled by off the field problems. He want to stay with the City, the fans wanted him to stay but the Chairman Sam Hammam was playing is normal mind games. He was telling all that he wanted to do a deal West Brom but the days turned to weeks and nothing was happening a Koumas was sitting waiting. He even missed to start of pre-season but in the end he had to go back to West Brom with his tail between his legs after there was no call from Hammam.
Scores of young Premiership players are loan out these days to get experience in the lower leagues; some clubs even pay part of the wages to help deals along. Last season we had a few mainly goalkeepers while this season so far Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has brought in Kelvin Etuhu from Manchester City on a season-long loan has striker cover.
Etuhu is looking to improve has a player while here has at the moment his club is awash with strikers and if he had of stayed he would have struggled to make the bench. He made his starting debut in the Carling Cup game against Bristol Rovers but came on that the end of the Bristol City game the Saturday before. On the WalesOnline website he said, “I have come to Cardiff aiming to develop my game and improve as a player.
“I want to be a consistent threat in front of goal, both scoring and creating chances for others. “That’s what I’ve been brought to Cardiff to do and it’s up to me to deliver.
“I’m happy to do what’s needed of me, but I particularly enjoy playing on the left, coming inside and attacking defenders.
“I like to run with the ball at my feet, link up with other attacking players and get into the penalty area.
“Hopefully I can do that this season and come out of it having improved myself.
“Cardiff City is a good, stable club with an excellent stadium and manager in Dave Jones. It’s a great set-up and I’m glad to be part of it.
“There is great quality at this football club, but we have to maintain levels of performance as the season progresses.
“It’s no good looking back and saying we had a great start if we don’t keep this form up.
“We need to be physically and mentally strong.”
