Young EFC Players Out On Loan 17-18

Not open for further replies.
Completely idiotic transfer window from Anderlecht:

In:

- Saief loan: (left/right winger)
- Morioka loan/transfer (can't complain about that one; very good player)
- Lazar Markovic loan-deal: why would you do that ????

Out: Hanni (good player but the fans disliked him).

So when Onyekuru gets back they can now play a team solely containing wingers, no good striker and not enough quality centre-backs or a right-back. This has to be one of the worst transfer windows ever. You very much need a striker - don't buy/loan one. Don't need a winger, let's buy two. Travesty. They've effectually written off the entire season, bar a miracle. Ironically the top-scorer from the Belgian League is an Anderlecht player who's out on loan.

Remind you of anyone?
 

Championship
Bolton Wanderers - Antonee Robinson played full match in 1-0 home win over Bristol City

OS Match Report

Fan comments
"The wing backs were immense all game, Robinson looks bigger and stronger and is a real threat going forward, every so often he is caught out of position defensively but his pace helps him out, the improvement from the start of the season is very impressive."
"New formation also allowed the full backs to get forward and, first half in particular, Little was a real nuisance to them, Robinson similar, including in build up to goal."

Harry Charsley was not in match-day squad.
 
Championship
Nottingham Forest - Kieran Dowell started, was booked and was subsituted in the 70th minute of a 0-2 away defeat to Fulham

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
7' Fulham 0-0 #NFFC: Brereton gets in behind the defence and cuts it back for Dowell, but the midfielder rushes his effort and it goes over the bar
47' Fulham 0-0 #NFFC: Dowell is shown a yellow card for clipping the heels of Fredericks

Fan comments
"I thought Dowell provided little cover for Fox and Fulham exploited it."
"Dowell was ineffective out wide and not good with defensive responsibilities, but his corners were excellent."
"Dowell was poor going forward, but did alright defensively."

Leeds United - Matthew Pennington played full match in 1-4 home defeat to Cardiff City

OS Match Report
"Leeds went close from a corner, when Matthew Pennington got on the end of Laurens De Bock’s delivery, but his header was wide of the post."



Twitter stuff
24' Matthew Pennington meet a Laurens De Bock corner at the back post, but his header goes just wide 0-1

Fan comments
"6 - Pennington - quality just needs the same quality around him"
"Pennington was one of the better players today after a dodgy start- still not a quality cb, ok as a squad player like Cooper"
"Pennington - 7 - Solid after a shaky start looked good bringing the ball out"

Barnsley - Joe Williams played full match in 0-1 away defeat to Queen's Park Rangers

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
40 - Positive play between Pinillos, Williams and Hammill. The winger tries to go round his man but wins a corner.

Fan comments
"Gardner has come into his own without having Williams sharing his space, yet Williams was straight back in."
"Gardner and Williams have individual quality but cannot play effectively together. Hecky needs to pick one and stick to them."
"Personally I think Williams is our best midfielder and should be first on the team sheet"
"Williams was absolutely woeful today."
"Williams was the only one to put a tackle in and hardly gave the ball away. Gardner must have booted the ball into touch 5 times.The stick Williams gets is bizarre."

Sunderland - Tyias Browning played full match in 0-2 home defeat to Ipswich Town

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
2' @Official_ITFC force an early corner and it's hammered into the six-yard box where @tybrowning dives to make a superb clearance.
16' @Bryan_Oviedo's free-kick is a whisker away from @tybrowning and Jones as the visitors again come through unscathed. It's been a bright start from the Black Cats, but they need to make it count and find an opener.

Fan comments
"Browning, 4, clumsy, poor passing"
"He certainly has room for improvement"
"Struggling when has to play on the left side of a three"
"I'm not a fan of his at all. He's raw and is closer to an athlete than a centre back."
"Limited in some areas but has pace and is often the first man there cutting stuff out."
"Decent centre half."

Ipswich Town - Callum Connolly played full match in same game

OS Match Report

"Callum Connolly set up Ward, whose excellent cross was put into his own net by Matthews to put Blues in complete control of the game."

Fan comments
"Outstanding today. I've been unsure since he joined but he has been absolutely brilliant past few weeks. He's got a bright future."
"Would love us to try and sign him"

Brendan Galloway and Boris Mathis were not in match-day squads for their teams. (NB Sunderland now have seven loaned players which means only five can feature in a squad.)

LaLiga
Sevilla - Sandro Ramirez started and was substituted in the 66th minute of a 1-5 away loss to Eibar

OS Match Report
"Looking for a reply, Sevilla would be given a glimmer of hope on twenty minutes. Sandro would find some space in the box and see a pass blocked by the hand of Dani García to give the Nervionenses a penalty. Pablo Sarabia stepped up and slotted home well to claw the deficit back to one."

(Any readers who are Spanish-speakers/resident there who want to keep up with him and what the Sevilla fans are saying about him are welcome to contribute for his performances?)

Bundesliga
Red Bull Leipzig - Ademola Lookman started on the bench and came on in the 78th minute before scoring the winning goal in the 89th minute on his debut in a 1-0 away win at Borussia Mönchengladbach

OS Match Report

Fans are already calling him 'Lucky Lookman' (after a Belgian comic hero Lucky Luke) and apparently his goal was the first by an English player in the Bundesliga since 2005. Otherwise fans seemed impressed by a loan player they weren't particularly expecting much from.

Manager Ralph Hasenhüttl: "I'm very happy that Ademola Lookman managed to score. I had hoped that he would have a great debut!"

...great summary.
 

After what Allardyce said about Lookman, I'll be amazed if the kid ever comes back to us. I wouldn't blame him for leaving, tbh. That comment was out of order.

COLEMAN CRITICISES EVERTON OVER GALLOWAY.

Sunderland manager Chris Coleman questioned Everton’s decision to not end Brendan Galloway’s loan at Sunderland in January.

The 21-year-old defender has only made eight appearances across all competitions for the Black Cats this season and hasn’t played in the league for them since December 9, despite the club being in a relegation battle.

Out of these eight appearances, only two of them have been made since Coleman became manager of Sunderland in November and the 47-year-old has now admitted he thought the Toffees would have sent Galloway elsewhere.

AdTech Ad
“Brendan is a lovely kid and he has been working hard but he has lacked game time,” said Coleman, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.

“He’s here to get game time and he is not getting it, you don’t want to waste the boy’s time, it is a critical stage for him.

“We thought maybe Everton would want to take him back, maybe loan him out somewhere else, even in the division below, but that wasn’t the case.

“So Brendan is still here, and he is a cracking boy, who knows, we may need to call on him yet.”

Sky Sports’ correspondent Keith Downie previously claimed on his personal Twitter account in January that Galloway had informed Everton that he wanted to leave the Championship club in order to join League One’s MK Dons.

OPINION

While Coleman doesn’t dismiss the possibility that Galloway could still feature for Sunderland this season, it looks unlikely that he’ll be playing regularly. The whole point of Everton sending the left-back out on loan was to get him regular football in order to aid his development. Therefore, it seems a massive oversight by the club that they’ve left him at Sunderland, when he could have joined MK Dons and got regular football in the second half of the season. Galloway is no doubt frustrated by the situation because as long as he stays at Sunderland, he’s not learning anything. Hopefully, his time at Sunderland doesn’t affect his career in the long run.

Sounds like Sunderland would happily have agreed to send him back, unlike West Brom last year. Seems a bit negligent that we've left him there, perhaps he's slipped through the cracks after Joe Royle left.

..not sure about; ‘the whole point of Everton sending the LB on loan was to get him regular football in order to aid his development’.

The cynic in me suspects Everton have made up their mind about Galloway (and other loanees) and he has no future at the club. The aim is to get his wages off the books and Sunderland have committed to do this until the end of the season.
