Have we ever had as many loans as we have now?

[Dave the OAP]

I know we can't play them all, but;

Bent,
Bennett
Bennett
Gardner
Hughes
The bloke from forest
Al habsi


Brighton and loan albion!

 

[scooter1]

I think you can discount the last 2 as they'll be going back as quickly as they arrived, and I thought Hughes was a permanent 1 year contract at the beginning of the season

 

[British Bulldog]

You forgot Tex from the list.

 

[n1 gull]

Goes to show how shocking our actual buys were in the summer

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Hughes is permanent for 1 year but you forgot Teixeira from Liverpool.

It's Halford from Forest.

I thought Micky Adams II had a lot of loan players in.

 

[Buzzer]

I (barely) remember our first game away at Orient under Russell Slade:

40 Andersen
2 Whing
6 El-Abd
12 Heath
41 Borrowdale
39 Bangura
8 Jarrett
22 Fraser
11 McLeod
25 Davies
38 Owusu

SUBS
13 Sullivan
4 Hinshelwood
14 Livermore
28 Carole
33 Gargan


I reckon 2 definite permanent players there (Fraser and El-Abd) and not sure if Whing was permanent or a loan player at that timer. I'm pretty sure the rest of the starting line-up were loanees. Can anyone confirm/beat this line-up?

edit - my mind playing tricks on me. Mcleod and Davies might have been permanent. Not sure.

Pretty sure Whing was permanent then as well as Jarrett (short term contract if I remember right)

And you're correct with your edit I think- sure they were both on a permanent deal

Cheers. That was a shockingly bad team, wasn't it?

I remember being quite excited by Livermore and Mcleod signing- shows how much I know!

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Calvin Andrew turned up not long after that too.

 

[Rod Marsh]

I'm not concerned by the number of loan players we have. They represent quality and value in todays market, we certainly couldn't afford them if we were paying full wages. It also gives us opportunity to see "if" they could be a permanent signing. I would prefer however that the loan signings were for a longer period, 1 month barely gives us time to get them fit and see the true ability they have.

I think it's part of the modern game now, 4 loan players in a side now isn't uncommon.

 

[RexCathedra]

It's football's answer to the modern workplace - in the future, everywhere outside whatever they're calling the first division by then: zero hour contract football, played mostly by temps.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There was one season at Withdean I seem to recall we used about 42 players in a single season.

That was the Adams imposter/ Slade season. I know it's hard to believe but I'm pretty sure Dean White went and signed five of them. Astonishing to think he was allowed to do that, especially in comparison to our current transfer policy.

 

[Frampler]

We have three players on loan whose surname begins with B and ends with T. Has that ever happened before?

He did indeed, just before Slade's first game.

 

[Gwylan]

Didn't we have a lot of loan players under Saward? He was nicknamed the Loan Arranger in the Argus IIRC

You have some memory Gwylan.

 

[gjh1971]

We had a lot of loan players under Adams second spell - Anyisah, Richards, Fleetwood, Thornton, Thornhill and that's off the top of my head
