Loanwatch 2025-26

[Chip Butty 111]

Was at Bristol City earlier, long story, but can confirm Dobbin was excellent for PNE, smart goal and a genuine threat all afternoon. Looks much better than Guessand sadly.

[Mister E]

...and young Aiden Boreland on his way to Swindon for the rest of the season.

Good; needs some senior game time: looks a real prospect.

[London Villan]

Might make some money on Dobbin after all.

The Stockport loan was a revelation, far from crap. He's had injuries at both Hull and Sheff Utd. Needs to get back playing regularly. Maybe send him back to Spain where things are less physical.

Think at this stage he’s unlikely to make it with us, so it’s just a case of maximising his transfer fee now. Not sure a loan to Spain would achieve anything in that regard.

Barry is 23 in the summer and is yet to do anything at a higher level than div 3. We're unlikely to get a lot for him.

Way behind here, but Tommi O’Reilly has scored today for Crewe. 5 goals, 8 assists in 26 games this season.

[adrenachrome]

Rock on, Tommi!

[Dante Lavelli]

Thank you for these updates Percy.  I like having a handle on what loanees are doing so I appreciate your efforts.

Percy H&Ver of the year 2025, if we still handed out accolades.

[Percy McCarthy]

No problem lads, thanks. I enjoy checking in on their games.

Barrenechea on the bench for Benfica yesterday. Hopefully he triggered the clause before they’ve gone off him. Could have been resting him of course, he’s played nearly every game up to now.

Percy, what are his stats this season? Are they likely to purchase him?

[Garyth]

Percy, what are his stats this season? Are they likely to purchase him?

The clause was believed to be 15 appearances, so he's triggered the obligation already (29 including cups and Europe).

What we want now, is for him to be a star and we get 30% (max €10M) of any fee when he moves to Spain.

[Percy McCarthy]

^^ Spot on.

Hypothetically, if he continues to improve and Kamara is stolen from us… we also have a 10m negotiation chip with benfica to buy him back.
