Loaned-Out Players

... and that with Ayew out suspended. Someone has probably dumped him off in the Sainsbury's car park

He's probably on holiday somewhere.

What’s going on with Jes Rak-Sakyi? Not in Sheffield United squad past few games?

Is he hurt?

I was reading the Blades Forum thread about him today. After a decent start they reckon he’s gone very quiet and is being doubled up on by other teams which is hampering his play but opening up space for others.
The general consensus is that he is decent Championship level but is NOT going to be anything special in the Premier League.

I am of the same opinion.

Has Steve Parish managed to get Sainsbury's to deliver - in their lorries - new players to Selhurst Park?

Only if Poundland don't deliver.

I witnessed Owen Goodman play for AFC Wimbledon against Gillingham the other night.
He was not overly busy, however he did thwart Bradley Dack by acrobatically pushing the ball away from a free kick.
He also did well when Aaron Rowe burst clean through but Goodman made a crucial tackle to deny the Gillingham player.
Goodman looked assured in goal.

I read that as Owen Garvan, thinking he can't be the future surely.

He still hasn't finished turning on the ball somewhere.

I agree and the same goes for Ozoh. Not PL quality but can both make a living in Championship. I thought about Ozoh when Devanny started playing and the the difference between the two was clear.

I’ve been saying that since we started loaning him out, once we start doing that to these players it’s only a matter of time before they leave permanently to the lower leagues. I think the only reason we keep them dangling for as long as we do is incase we end up getting relegated and we need them in the championship

Devenny has more first-team experience having played for Airdrie and was part of their team that got promoted.

Probably right, it's a pretty ruthless business for most, but there might also be an element of players not wanting to leave a Premier League club on a permanent basis when they know how hard it is to get taken on by one.

Rak-Sakyi has been carrying a slight knock. He's not out of the team or anything.

Indeed injured.
He played in Sheff Utd's 2-0 win at Cardiff but was substituted about a quarter of an hour into the second half.

Agreed, saw him last year at Colchester and had a similar opinion.
Slight criticism is that for a big lad stayed rooted on his line at corners but most keepers seem to do this these days so not sure if it's an negative.
Has a future in the game, maybe not at Prem level though

I think it's notoriously difficult to assess young keepers or, indeed, No 2 keepers at clubs. I'm always reminded of a certain Nigel Spink - 5 years at Villa with just 1 1st team appearance and then 10 minutes into the final of the European Cup, Villa's no 1 keeper (Rimmer) gets injured. Spink comes on - plays a blinder and and very soon becomes Villa's no 1 keeper for the best part of a decade.

At 6' 4", Goodman is a good height for a keeper and I'd be happy to see him given the chance to be the no. 2 keeper next season.

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy on the future of Odsonne Edouard, who is on loan from Crystal Palace: "Odsonne is part of our squad. He will be part of the squad. He is one of the two Premier League loans we have with Facundo Buonanotte and Odsonne. We expect them to be at the club."

From the BBC. I guess he's staying at Leicester for the rest of the football year!

Mentioned this in January window thread but Imray is attracting suitors with his performances at Bromley. Once again involved in almost everything for them tonight in the Kent/A2 Derby (whichever you want to call it) against Gillingham

My boss is a DCFC fan and he thinks Ozoh is the nuts. He didn't look out of place last season when he came on vs Man City. We will see.
