"I would think both would be delighted. Bazanu for one has gone from being a promising keeper who could not keep an undisputed first team position at Rochdale to being undisputed first choice for Pompey & the Republic of Ireland. And Carter has done so well here there is talk of them keeping him for their own uses next year rather than loaning him out again.
I would say both clubs should be more than happy."
I'm sure they are but it has not got us promoted or developed any player for us for next season.
I would have preferred in a season that long ago most of us wrote off as a promotion season we had either developed two players that are already ours or bought in loans that we intended to sign and developed them.
So your argument is that if we had played players not as good as Bazanu, Carter or Hirst we would be more likely to have got promoted ??? The manager's job is to get the best team he can out on the pitch. And who knows if any of the loanees we have had will still be here next season so we get the advantage of their development ? We all know Bazanu is very unlikely because of his success here and for Ireland but Cowley still has hopes of getting Carter and/or Hirst.
And if we had got promoted this year would people still be complaining about having loan players ? I think not. They would be praising DC for using the loan system well to get players that improve the team rather than to fill the squad with back-up players like Jackett did.
