Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Plus the new rules allow the players to also play non-first team football for their parent clubs during their loans. So O'Leary or Lucic could still play for the under 21's depending on how much first team football they are getting whilst on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fielding gets over his injury then I expect him and OD to fight it out for first choice. Then again if Fielding was to leave we would have a totally different situation. Just makes me wonder if the Fielding injury is worse than we think. Can't see Frankie getting back in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_s Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Not really understanding this signing. The guy is 21 and if he's any good should be signed for us and not signed to send out on loan. If he was 18 or 19 it would be a little more feasible but he's not. He's good enough to be understudy to Neuer then surely he's good enough. Seems the word "taking a punt" has become quite popular when referring to players. I'm all for a taking a punt but we do need to balance that with genuine first teamers who would without question be improving the current squad.

Really? he's only 21 and wasn't often understudy to Neuer, he hasn't got much game time so the best thing for us and his development is to send him on a loan this year so he gets some playing time.

Davefevs Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Would think LJ thinks he is a plenty good enough (his earlier comments during trial reflect that), but not every keeper is ready to be put into the thrust of a Championship match with no English experience. Still think we might see a half-season loan for an experienced keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Seems eminently sensible to send both back up goalies out on loan As I understand it you can recall goalies from loan. Therefore out on loan will have them match fit if required rather than warming the bench. The club clearly feel that JoJo's Norwegian loan has sharpened him up too, to be able to give cover in the middle of one game was the worse to happen mid match.

22A Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Was it the 79-80 Div 1 season that due to injuries we had a different goalie for three consecutive games? In the late 60s City had five goal keepers on their books so kept Mike Gibson in the first team, Barry Watling(?) in the reserves and put the other three out on loan and one day all five saved penalties. I didn't dream it....did I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea when the loan system started. The first loan player I remember coming to City was Brian Hill from Coventry in 1971, one part of a double signing with the permanent acquisition of Les Wilson from Wolves the same day. City may have signed loan players before him, but I can't remember any and pre 1970 would be before my time. I expect @slartibartfast would know who City's first ever loan signing was?

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 As a one time follower of the Austrian Bundesliga - I was an FC Tirol Innsbruck fan in their glorious heyday when they won 3 league titles in a row...then went bankrupt and folded :-( - it's great to see a promising young Austrian in our team. I recall the days when Alex Manninger played for Arsenal. Whenever the English football results were published in the Austrian papers, they would print "(ohne Manninger) = "without Manninger" next to the Arsenal score! So it's a big "servus!" und herzlich Willkommen to Ivan. Even if he is from hoity-toity Vienna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
