I'm of the opinion that if we're adopting the same playing style throughout our teams,and we have a competitive league(U21s) for non-first team players and up and coming younger lads,what is the value in sending them out on loan to other clubs who don't have the same philosophy and taking them away from their familiar club environment,other than saving a bit on wages.
Just had a looksee and the Veikkausliga is ranked 90th of all football leagues. Below the French and Portuguese equivalents of the conference. Slightly above the Sunderland and District over 40s league.
Speakman doing canny. Signings and exte Spoke to Gatesy a few years ago. He used to play in first team and reserve games if there was no midweek match. Always said he felt better doing that than training!
I've just listened to this in YouTube now, the follow up video was the mag crying 'he scored so many goals!'
The obvious benefit to players being loaned is the experience they'll get in terms of being in a new environment, new training ground, new group of players, new part of the country, all valuable lessons for life and maturity in addition to adapting to a new style of football. Styles come and go, Pep-ball won't be forever and the best players will learn to adapt when that comes.

You are right, mate. I had a season ticket for years at Roker Park and it always included reserve games, plus priority for cup games.
