Everton admit they must take care when sending players out on loan next season

Changes to loan system mean Everton must pick and choose who they send out
Everton admit they must take more care when sending players out on loan next season.
Changes to the market come into force this summer with loans only permitted during the designated transfer windows.
Youth loans and emergency loans - which allow clubs to recall players at short notice - are to be scrapped.
If Everton send a player out for work experience in the Football League next term then he cannot return until the opening of the next window.
The Blues sent over 10 of their Academy players out into the Football League and National League at various points this term but will have to pick and choose who they allow to leave.
It may well result in the under-21s having their strongest squad for many years as many of those players on the fringe of the first-team are kept at the club in case they are needed.
“Not every player needs to go out, and it’s quite clear that Tom Davies and Kieran Dowell haven’t gone out,” David Unsworth said.
“But what it does allow is for the lad to get some brilliant exposure and it also allows us to bring in someone younger into the u-21s.
“So it is more than just getting one player out because it gives another one an opportunity.
“Jonjoe Kenny going out to Oxford has allowed Gethin Jones to play most weeks but it is also a real though process.
“Where’s he going to play? Is he going to play every week?
“But the loan market changes next season so we need to be really careful who we send out on loan.
“There may also be more 21s games, exposure to bigger and better games with the International Cup and the possibility of us being able to enter a team in the Football League Trophy.”
Everton’s second string return for pre-season training at the end of June.
Their place in the SuperCupNI - formerly the Milk Cup - was confirmed earlier this month where they will face Benfica, Celtic and Real Sociedad.
Unsworth has also revealed plans to tee up pre-season friendlies with Football League clubs this summer.
