Bradley Wright Phillips looking for a loan

Recommended Posts

No No No NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Enough with the "talented young premiership player" loans. Will we ever learn the lesson??!!! These kids are not up to the task, they are skilled without a doubt, but they don''t last more than 6 games, they can''t keep their form going, they get injured, they are simply not geared up for a championship season.

David Bentley wasn''t able to complete a season in the division he came from - he wasn''t fit enough to play 25 games a season in the premiership, or able to keep form up. Dean Marney, likewise, nowhere near able to play even 30 championship games, gets injured, game over.

The same will be true of Wright-Phillips. Not experienced or fit enough to survive in this division, and will be a total and utter waste of time.

The types of players we need to loan in this division are the Kevin Harpers and the Coopers of this world, decent pros that can add something. Not promising, never played a game youngsters, that might deliver a cross every 6th game.

I dunno - marney was passable.  Taking them on loan whilst in the premiership is a bit of a no no. However look at how well Ashley cole, Pennant, webber, scott parker to name a few had done when on loan in this division. even one of prestons Midfielders is a man utd youngster. Wright-Phillips.scored with his first touch the other day. 

Having said that i would like to have seen Kevin harper here - he was good.  Just didnt work hard enough apparantly.

Valid point. But if we look at Scott Parker''s loan, it''s a different situation to now.

Scott Parker joined a middle to lower table side, to get games. Which he did, and did well, but the Norwich team he joined was basically aimed at staying in the division, not challenging to get out of it - which is where we should be now.  Similarly with the Beckham loan to Preston... no disrespect but a team, at that time, at the wrong end of the division. Ashley Cole? ok he''s now an England international, but joined a Palace team that was struggling to survive and was full of kids, their goal was to survive and stay in existance, not get promoted. If that Ashley Cole had joined a top of the table side, he''d have been skinned week in week out.

 That''s why I think it''s good for the kids to be loaned as it helps their development, but they''ll never be the difference between going up and not. For that you need quality pros, Jason Koumas for example - look at the difference in cardiff after they got him and Cooper and we need to be getting people that help us get back out of this league

your absolutely right about one thing - you cant rely on a youngsters loan for a full season. we have found that out twice now.  As for Koumas - that is a realsore point for me.  The best player in this division a few years ago and total class if used effectively and we werent and arent interested.  Cardiff canary, who goes to the cardiff games stated - dont bother with Jerome get Koumas - he is a magnificent player, superb footballer.  Its no wonder they are so desperate to keep him.
