SCHMIDT DEPARTS FOR DANISH LOAN SPELL Club News Reds striker to join Esbjerg fB on loan for the duration of the 21/22 campaign. Continue reading on the official site...
One never knows what to believe any more ......... ceefax this morning (Monday Gossip) says WBA are closing in on Val. Yet we are letting a striker go out on a season loan, without any new gaffer taking a look. One rumour, feeds another, and the gossip never ends. I forgot what pre-season gossip entailed what with last years quick turnaround The above can only mean. * Val is staying, and has decided that Pat is best going out on loan for the season? * A new gaffer has already identified Pat is not part of his plans? * Someone else in the club makes player move decisions? * Or a blind-man can see Pat is not going to make it and they are clinging to the hope he can turn into a second tier Danish wonder-player and we can move him on later for a fee? God only knows. My head hurts
Or... if we send him out on loan to one of our own clubs, a new manager comes in, the loan is cut short without upsetting anyone....
The third point is the most likely. Maybe a bit of the fourth point as well. There was plenty of transfer activity last season, between Struber leaving and Ismael joining.
Makes sense. We're not going to recoup the million we paid for him at the moment. So the options are a) cut our losses and sell or b) loan out to a feeder club where he'll get game time and hopefully bang in goals so his value rises. Best of luck to him at Esbjerg
Not surprising at all and I suspect we've been trying to find a buyer for him for quite a while. Sadly it seems we can't find one, and probably struggling to find someone to cover enough of his wages to make shipping him out on loan to them worthwhile, hence, they spun the wheel to decide which of their clubs he'd go to, and it happens to be in Denmark.
Hope we can ship some more out who aren't up to championship standard. Ritzmaier Simoes Christie-Davies Miller Thomas Adeboyejo Aitchison
There must be some news due about Ritzmaier, as his loan officially ends. Been reported that the club are looking to get a contract extension for Adeboyejo, along with Palmer.
I don't know about that, he could have probably done with an extended run in the team to see if he could produce... All hypothetical though, hope he does well on loan.
