I think we are misunderrstanding the loan market on here.
It is very difficult to get experienced players on loan in the summer cost effectively. It is much more possible in the January window when senior players who have not played much are much more open to a loan, not least if it helps put them in the shop window for a summer move.
The summer loans tend to be young unproven players who just need exposure to men’s football.
I believe we did try to get 2 or 3 different players on loan but they would have fitted inti the young player with potential category.
