It won't be Ashington as it's too far. The clubs have to be within relative distance due to them being part time. The players we send out are still able to play for our stiffs and in youth cups and some train with us, but some of them can't drive yet so unless they can get a lift back twice a week they have to be near the club. Hence why we loan to clubs like Pickering, Bridlington, Beverley Town, Hall Road, Barton etc. Ones that can drive can be sent further afar to places like Tadcaster, Ossett and, in Macca's case, Belfast.

Jim Simms could be one going out on loan, York have asked after him and I think Boston was mentioned too.

Nowt on them but you’d think a Lg2 club struggling for goals would be looking at Jim considering he’s the PDL top scorer

Ooh the world is their oyster. Tadcaster must be the plum posting. John Smiths and Tetley served at least they did in olden times. Which reminds me of a slighly funny story. An American friend at work was a particular fan of British beer so travelled to the home of John Smiths beer-Tadcaster. After a couple of pints he was relieving himself in the mens and got chatting to a local. The local said the John Smiths that my friend had just drunk was good but not as good as the Tetleys and that there was a pub around the corner that sold it. My friend said he better get to the pub to try and was met with this reply-":eh lad you dont want to go there to try it it does not travel well-they make it in Leeds". Of course Tadcaster to Leeds is only 14.7 miles!!!

21s isn't men's football

Despite the promise, they all have to perform consistently at a professional level make it.

None of these youngsters have yet. But I'd like to think we are a club taet will provide the opportunity.

Let's not get sucked into the trap of assuming some of these youngsters are firt team ready though.

Pretty much spot on, they only thing I've heard different is the loan from the larger foreign club is the preferred option, but I guess things like that will change depending on availability and movement etc.

Coyle is an interesting one but I'm thinking it's further on then is being let on.

Baxter's robustness is a concern and I think that may be the deciding factor on him

Figueredo situation?

Suspect if the right offer came in?

It’s just a term I picked up from one of my coaches, ultimately meaning if you’re a teenager and are ready for mens football you have to be a freak of nature in a physical sense and he fits the bill. You’d never guess 19 if you saw him walking down the street.

There aren't many teens who play regularly even at our level that aren't physically freaks

I feel like any 19-20 year old going on loan to a 8-10th division side or lower is almost certainly not going to be good enough to ever make our first team
