I’m sure @giantwolf will know better than me but it feels like a big chunk of our loan players so far are going to be big players for their new teams. Seems like the days where our young players are bench fodder for teams are gone.
Yes, there has definitely been a noticeable uptick the last two seasons and as you say, of the 11 so far out on loan this season the vast majority of them will be regular first teamers - the only exception would be Sang-Bin Jeong.
Credit to the club for the better quality younger players to loan out but also to Matt Jackson (who is definitely an upgrade to Olofinjana) in getting good moves for the players. Ok, he made a few wrong calls last season (Sanderson being one), but I could see the logic in what he was trying to do,
