After Gerald Houllier turned down Wednesday for Liverpool and Walter Smith went to Everton 24 hours after shaking hands with Dave Richards, Danny Wilson stepped into the breach and guess what? He was Wednedsday's number one target all along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He was Wednedsday's number one target all along.  Ha ha, you see it often in football, it doesn't help in today's world where every word is recorded and scrutinised.  But I feel he is just trying to give a young keeper a bit of confidence. I suppose it may be number 1 target for net and Stearman number 1 target for defence.  Either way, I don't know all that much about him, but welcome him as we do any other player.

samssong   10 #8 Posted July 28, 2017 It is about time the loan system was more regulated , Huddersfield gained promotion last season due to a large influx of loans from the Premiership not fair on clubs who pay their own way and so are at an unfair disadvantage. A lot of the loans come down to who you know helping mates out etc. Reserves should be just that ready to step in when a regular first team player is injured.

What they did was open to all 24 clubs in the division so where is the unfair advantage? The loan system does need regulating but not for those reasons. It's getting ridiculous when Chelsea is running a sub-business with about 40 players out on loan at any one time, most of which they know will never get anywhere near the first team.

That would make players think twice about who they are joining if there's a chance that they may only ever get to play reserve team football.

Of course all clubs have the right to loan players out. Yes I think the rules should be changed.
