    while we are profiting from the current system I feel overall that it is a BAD THING.</p>

    It allows the big clubs to sign on many more players than they need-at high wages-who never get a sniff of a first team game-it would IMHO be far better to restrict the size of squads so allowing the smaller clubs to compete for these sort of players. </p>

    It also lends itself to unfair?? competition-cf Birmingham last year who seemed to have sole access to Arsenal loan players-why? </p>

    I would only allow loans in GENUINE EMERGENCIES</p>

    The premiership clubs are gifted far too much money, which basically allows them to sign too many players. And many of them are good players who deserve to be playing competitively and to be entertaining the public. There is something wrong with the principle, I agree, but isn't it a better prospect watching us with Nyatanga, Anderson and Macken in the side? Perhaps the best managers in our league will turn out to be the best loan arrangers? sorry!

    I agree that the current use of the loan system is wrong, throughout the game, we are only taking advantage of what the current practice is.
    But originally loans were meant for emergency situations, now squads are built with loanees and key positions filled. Should be limited to 1 or 2 month loans, would certainly stop season long loans which allow the richer clubs to sign up young players and then loan them out for other clubs to develop.

    I agree. the bigger clubs (premier league) buy a player who will not play in the first team, even though clubs in championship and lower division wants that player to. The player ends up being loaned to a club in championship or league one or two.

    Depends whether you are a player or a fan

    From a players point of view its excellent - you can sign for a big club safe in the knowledge that you are on a good Salary but if you dont make it in to the first team you can get loaned out to a smaller club but still get paid the big club wages

    This means for example a club like Everton can for example sign a 27 year old goalkeeer as cover from a championship side on a much better salary than they can pay. As they already have a prem standard keeper they then loan him out to a struggling prem or top championship side with a recall clause should Howard get injured.

    My view is that loans should either be for emergencies - to cover injuries and be limited to 1 month or in the case of a long term injury replacement until the next transfer window for any players over 21 years old.

    No problem with year long loans for young acadamy players from prem clubs to get experience but really players like Da Silva should either be playing regularly or looking to transfer to a club where they will get first team football

    It also limits the ability

    of smaller clubs generating revenue from developing these players.

    And if a club creates a tight unit with loanees, they have to start all over again when they go back.
