Our Youth on Loan

[mad_mac]

Thought this would be as good a place as any to keep an "all seeing eye" (Easy Liam) on our young lads who are on loan.

Been a flurry of activity today, and here are the names of the players and the clubs they are going to (or remaining at)

Bruma - at HSV (Bundesliga, Germany)

Courtois - Atletico (La Liga, Spain)

Kalas and Van Aanholt - Vitesse (Eredivisie, Holland)

Pirez and Davila - Sabadell (segunda Division, Spain)

Ince - Yeovil (http://www.ytfc.net/articles/20120713/welcome-to-rohan_2264794_2848748)

Would be good to keep a thread going of any news or games that any of us see or hear in one place.

I tried a similar thread last year:

But repeated requests to have to moved to this seciton of the forum seemed to fall on deaf ears, so it got lost and never updated.

Hopefully this one will be used more, as it's nice to see how they are all getting on.

[Remodez]

Good thread idea.

Hope this is the last loan Bruma goes on, he's ready and should be playing for us.

[mad_mac]

I can't help but feel at the end of the season we'll see Bruma sold to somewhere he'll get to play.

Nice one, Scott, I'll be checking in here on a regular basis

Seems like Milan Lalkovic is going on loan (or being sold), based on what he's been tweeting today. Hopefully it's a loan (a Championship side would be my preferred destination so he can get a lot of minutes), as I have had high hopes for this boy for a couple of seasons now.

I will do my best to keep this thread going throughout the season.

[mad_mac]

What is being said, Ace? I too think Lalkovic is a good player from whenever I have seen him.

I just keep reading people on Twitter saying he's off to Portugal, but not sure what team and whether a sale or loan.

Milan Lalkovic and Matej Delac have been loaned to Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes, according to reports in Portugal.

Hopefully both of them going out could benefit them in terms of settling in etc.

Chalobah being linked with a loan move to Watford, according to Vital Football

Phew, glad it's not a sale. Hope he gets a lot of playing time and can set himself up to be challenging for a spot (unlikely, I know) next season.

Franco to take him under his wing like he did JT, great stuff.

Really chuffed about this, both will walk into the team (Lalkovic will probably spend most of the time on the wing). Plus it's at a league that I watch regularly.

Good to hear on all this, thanks for keeping the thread going, lads.

I know he's more than a ressie player, but I heard Lukaku may be gonig down the road to Fulham on loan. Which seems strange as that would only leave Torres and Sturridge as strikers.

[Zeta]

Well Lukaku certainly needs a lot of games, because he's a long way off being ready for our 1st team at the moment. I don't think he'd get many at Fulham, he may have to drop a division, but let's see I suppose.

Ben Gordon on loan to Birmingham on a 6 month deal apparently. He's only got a year left on his deal, might be hoping for some good performances so we can try and offload him in January?

What males u think that? They sold Zamora got pognegre-somethingrussian-bak on loan and lost him to reading so they are in need of a holding striker! I also though lukaku was brilliant towards the end of the season with that brilliant performance against Blackburn? He also has dembele at the club to welcom him so I think this could be a very good deal for all if we feel he isn't going to get the minutes although I would rather keep him as Sturridge and Torres are too similar for me and I feel lukaku brings something different with his physical prescence

[Remodez]

Fulham have Ruiz, Petric, Rodallega, Dembele and Dempsey. Dembele is awful in front of goal so I guess you can rule him out and Dempsey might be sold. At best Lukaku would be 4th choice (I think he's better than Rodallega personally but Lukaku still has to prove himself). Also all three of those are capable of playing as a target man so it's not like Lukaku brings a unique skill set.

Can't see it happening myself, would be strange to say the least. He would (At least he should anyway) get more games here than he would at Fulham.

Well I would put Ruiz and dembele down as midfielders myself never really seen either of them play well in the role of forward...which leaves petric who I know nothing about and rodallega who lukaku would definitely start over...this of course assuming fulham are going to be playing a 4-1-1 formation or some variation to that effect

[Remodez]

True but the point is Ruiz is a better striker than Lukaku. He played upfront when Dembele used to play behind the striker. Also they are going to try and break Frei into the first team so Ruiz could get more games upfront or behind the striker if Dempsey is sold. Petric was with Martin Jol at Hamburg and he seems to like him a lot. Agree with Rodallega but they wouldn't have bought him for no reason, he's their backup. Lukaku would be the backup for the backup.

[rahul]

Sturridge was behind many strikers/forwards in the Bolton squad too but managed to break in because of sheer quality.

These guys need time on the pitch no doubt but they also have to prove themselves better than strikers in the lower teams right about now in order to stand any chance of getting ahead of world class strikers which a team like Chelsea will always have.

[Remodez]

Bolton had N'gog, Klasnic who could only play 20 mins due to his condition, Kevin Davies who had no excuse really he was just sh*t, a fossil in Tuncay and a crook in Robbie Blake. Hardly a tough task to break in ahead of them, any striker with pace and could finish would have got in ahead of them easily. Was why they got Sturridge.

I agree but if we are sending him out to Fulham he won't get that. One of the promoted teams would be better, maybe Reading.

[jack_super_class]

Dembele doesn't even play upfront for Fulham,Ruiz sometimes played out wide,Dempsey likely to be sold,Orlando SA has left,I don't see why he wouldn't get games.I'd rather see Lukaku go out on loan in the Prem rather than another team in Europe.
