Any manager would be crazy to agree to guaranteeing a minimum number of games. If the loan player is out of form and/or not working hard enough, being contractually obliged to play him could disastrous for any team’s spirit and results. Imagine being forced to pick a loan player, who in the last 10 games, has scored a couple of own goals, lost the ball leading to several goals conceded and has done nothing creative in return. Even given the potential benefits, I don’t know why any manager would agree to being so hand tied and risk exposing themselves to such a potential nightmare. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It will be a good move for Woodburn. Wilder (Sheffield Utd manager) is a positive attack minded manager who's plan is to get at the opposition and try to win every game. That is exactly what Klopp will want to see Woodburn involved in.

Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted July 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Would absolutely send out the wrong message to the rest of the team if we brought someone in who we were contractually obliged to play in at least 30 games or something similar. I'd have liked to have him in but not under Liverpools pathetic terms.

rodders0223 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Good luck to him, and I can't blame Liverpool for putting such clauses in their contracts. I would want us to secure the same deals if we were to loan our youngsters out. Suliman's 2 loans have been absolute shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Can't blame Liverpool for wanting to ensure their lad gets games, and I can't blame us for rebuffing that clause. Just wasn't meant to be by the sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2018 Pity, but Liverpool cannot dictate who we put in our team. It's completely counter productive, the player has no incentive to perform if he's always favoured because of a loan clause. Let the guy prove himself or don't bother loaning him out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really blame Liverpool. I'm not sure clauses like that should be allowed, but if they are then I can see why they do it. I don't imagine they particularly care who he plays for, but rather they care that he actually plays. They'd know he's less likely to get game time here, especially if we manage to hold onto Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
