Have to be careful about silly season transfer rumours anarl mind, if people are getting traction and clicks online by mentioning the club, they will do it for revenue.

Is that a random Finnish and Uruguayan left winger linked in the last hour?

Silly Season in full swing. Who will be next? Danish winger or Serbian winger?
 
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.

Yes,I understand,and you make a good point,but I'm not sure that those benefits override the values of staying in the club culture and surroundings,with team-mates and social/family life. Moving temporarily,different training methods,adapting to new environment and people,changing living accommodation,away from friends for some younger players can be disruptive and unsettling,particularly when it's only for a specified time. I suppose it depends on the individual.

I agree there's a payoff, hence why they like to keep young lads at the AOL if they're able.

The reality for an u21 team is that on average less than 1 player per team will make iit into the first team at their club, and usually only a few players are still in professional football after 5 years.
 
Thanks mate....good to know my memory isn't totally confused! Now you say,I seem to remember the numbered reserve tickets being in the back of the hard-back season ticket book we had then?

Was it the lettered tickets to post off for sway games? Rings a bell along those lines
 
I think if he had his medical yesterday it would’ve been reported by now, but just a gut feeling mainly
Tbf Paveda would’ve came out of the blue if it wasn’t for the picture of him holding a scarf on social media.

We seem to announce our signings later in the day so it could still happen. Someone has definitely had info as a couple on RTG have advised it’s done as well as Roker Report.

Rings a bell with me mate. I seem to remember a more softback booklet with the tickets in, would be late 80s early 90s. Think they had a number of reserve game tickets in the back and cup game vouchers? I have a couple of the old used up ones in the loft somewhere.
