Confirmed that Devine has signed for Plymouth.

Maybe Foster influenced the move?

loaned to Plymouth  

It makes sense in terms of his career progression - be interesting to see how he goes on at that level.

Ah right here’s the story. Not exactly in depth but enough to suggest there’s something in it

Obviously losing Ollie and Alfie is a hit, but we have had these scenarios for a long time, JR did it and made money on a few we could afford, then found new players, Some better, some worse than there predecesors. 

The 2 lads we have bought in do have more experience, (or did before we played Oli and Alf so often). So hopefully they do as good a job.

Those saying buy a player, who do we buy? That is going to make a massive difference. All clubs want one. 

We have space now so a couple of loans more and a bargain buy that is not until the season end, then that is all we can hope for.

Loans. That is the issue. We’re not progressing. We can’t do this every window. Need some permanent signings. 

That’s the problem. You can’t build teams around players who leave after a few months back to their parent clubs. Loans should be support acts, but Arblaster and Devine have been key men. Develop the players yes, but we have relied on them a lot for our best results.

1. He isn't at a side going for promotion if he has been recalled.

2. He was at a club we have beaten twice this season.

3. He would be playing in a higher league.

Yeah, but...apart from them...???

However, this is also the January window when lots of people say it's not a buyers market

We can't keep using that excuse though, it was wheeled out in the summer.

I feel like we are maybe a year or two off having more of the young lads as regular starters and needing to pad out the squad less with loans. 

The loan approach has certainly lurched us forward and showcasing that we develop young players doesn't just help with loan signings but might see us go up another level in recruitment in the summer on permanents

Agree though that we could over do loans if we are not careful.
