The loan system seems to benefit clubs like Chelsea who develop a lot of young players to sell on. We've not been in the position or had the players to do that. Holgate is probably the only player in recent times where we have benefited on his return.
...I’d add Coleman but neither were Academy products. I’m not a fan of loaning players, folk always assume the arrangement will work out well, but that’s rarely the case when it comes to our players.
