Loanwatch - 2024/25

[AV84]

Swinkels is at it again. Scored for the gasheads.

He's a defender, isn't he? Wonder how he's doing in that respect?

Didn't realise Finn was a loanee? We might be able to get some money for him in the summer then.....

My mistake. Boro bought him in the summer.

My mistake. Boro bought him in the summer.

I think it was the January before.

You're right, Percy. I'm having a stinker today.

We sold him for 2p the same window we bought Rogers from Boro for 5p so I guess both clubs can't grumble too much about underselling to each other.

Walked down the road today to see Filip Marschall play for Crewe against Chesterfield.

Had a good game and stood up well to the physical stuff. Looked really disappointed when Crewe conceded though it was a good shot.

Thirteen clean sheets this season. Looked slightly taller than I remembered.

Franchise FC (aka MK Dons) have sacked manager Scott Lindsey

Travis Patterson has been there on loan since January - no appearances thus far.

Wonder if he'll be heading home?

[AV84]

Video on the official YouTube about the 2 lads on loan in Spain. Not much to see in it, but the keeper seems to have a bit more between the ears than Monroe. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but he's definitely more articulate.

[eamonn]

Monroe..must have got the looks of his relative rather than the brains.

Sounds like Barrenchea is playing well.

"What a serious footballer Enzo Barrenechea is… I already mentioned it in the summer but since Corberan, playing alone in front of the defence and with the space that this current Javi Guerra creates for him, he is a brutal footballer. The two feed off each other."

"I loved Enzo Barrenechea again. The best player of the season along with Rioja. He does practically everything well. He covers the field and has football. Cut and sew. If the #VCF stays in First Division, he has to fight like a lion to bring him back with an option. Very good."

"Enzo Barrenechea, the pivot that Valencia had been looking for years. Extraordinary results this season, but how frustrating that there is no option to buy him."

"I don't know what Aston Villa will do with Barrenechea...but if he doesn't stay at Valencia, every team that plays in the Europa League in the five major leagues should ask about him."

[Percy McCarthy]

I’ve seen a few of these rave reviews for Enzo. It would be nice if we had a recall at the moment but I doubt we have. Saw something about us wanting to sell Moreno to Betis in January but Forest wouldn’t release him back to us.

v Osasuna:

87% Pass Accuracy.
46 Passes Completed.
1 Key Pass.
5/7 Successful Long Balls.
3/4 Successful Take-Ons.
8/9 Ground Duels Won.
4/7 Aerial Duels Won.
3 Interceptions.
3 Tackles.

OCD quote your sources - or are they just plebs like ourselves on Valencia4Eva forum?

Don't tell me Valencians are Nazi sympathisers.

And another loanee crocked.
That's Louie Barry and Lewis Dobbin.

Unfortunate for them as individuals, but it also screws up our plans in terms of their development and progression -  towards either the first team or being sold.
