Manchester City - To Loan or Not To Loan...

By Luke - Football Manager HUB and Luke's Stories of An FM Addict



Welcome to my sixth ever blog! Today I'm going to be discussing weather you should loan your players. Strap yourselves in: because it can be a bumpy ride!
There are lots of different reasons or scenario's which will mean that sending out your players on loan will benifit you: here I'll explain just a few...

My Youth Deserve Better... 


For some reason people are under the impression loaning youngsters to other teams stunts their growth: instead they are left to play in the U21's or reserves. Loaning your players is by far better for their growth, no matter what the other teams facilities are!
  
Now, let me explain why loaning is the only way to go!
To those who don't loan their players to clubs with poor facilities: you're right to do so if your youngster isn't going to play (at his loan club). This is because the level of training will be worse and he wont be mentored by a high standard of player; therefore he may as well be sitting on your bench.
However loaning out youth players allows them to get PROPER first team football its: competitive, fiery and challenging (unlike the reserves). Getting match time is the most important aspect of improving on this years Football Manager, so whether it be in Greece, Gibraltar or Greenland I'd send them out! However only if the other club agree to be able to 'recall' and give him a 'vital first team role', otherwise your right: don't loan them!


'Wait... Why Wont Anyone Buy Barry?' - Roberto Manchini



A problem that you will encounter quite a lot while managing a massive club is that there will be deadwood and no-one will want to buy it. While this is happening the player is sitting in your Development Squad eating up £50k a week: which is futile. You gain nothing while the player is living in a vurtual high life! So in order to get him off your books a loan is best option.
 
Before I go. If you want to keep up to date with all things AYO, FM Lord Chris and me: go and like or subscirbe to our other ventures!
