Bring back short term loans 09:57 - Dec 11 with 2457 views | NedPlimpton | The 'players you'd forgotten had played for town' thread reminded me of some of the more bizarre short term loans we'd had in the past like Ricardo Fuller and Danny Simpson I'd love the option to go and get another forward on loan for a month or so before the Jan window closes. Someone who you'd not normally be in with a chance of signing but is returning to fitness or who isn't getting minutes for their side but could come on for us at 60mins or so. |  | | |  |

They don’t get much more short term than that, to be fair. |  |

The only thing shorter is Tabby...and you know what that means! |  |

Bring back short term loans on 11:11 - Dec 11 with 1938 views | FrimleyBlue | Scrap the window altogether and get back to being able to sign when ever you like, would mean fringe players could actually play football rather than being said in the backround for maybe 5 months of a season, it would bridge the gap for promotion sides who haven't got to wait a few months before they can add further quality, esp following a run of injuries to an already small squad... |  |

Anthony Georgiou was best mates with my wife's godson. He says he was incredibly dedicated as a teenager & determined to make it as a pro footballer. He managed to stay contracted to Spurs until he was 24, which is some achievement. It hasn't really happened for him, maybe he wasn't quite good enough, but I doubt it was a result of lack of trying. |  |

Yeah good on him, its incredibly difficult to cut through and make it in professional football. Incredibly difficult. Generally I think players tend to find their level but there's also a big element of fortune in it all IMO, being in the right place at the right time, injuries, form etc. I respect anyone who comes through and plays at a professional standard and as you say you generally need a high level of resilience and commitment. |  | |  |

My daughter has his shirt from his last away appearance for us (Plymouth). That really was a short-term loan as he was gone by the end of October if I remember correctly. |  | |  |

Pretty sure it was a month, two at most. We got him and another guy from West Ham at same time who stayed for longer but wasnt as good. Cant remember his name |  | |  |
Bring back short term loans on 15:06 - Dec 11 with 1560 views | hoppy | We brought DJ Cambell in on loan in October 2012 for a 3 month loan, scored 10 goals in 17 appearances. Being able to do something like that right now would be superb. (I wore the signed shirt on Sunday that he scored away at Birmingham in a 1-0 win as it happens) |  |

Surname was Walton. Simon Walton? I liked him, and thought he was at least as good as Noble. Shows what I know. |  | |  |

Wouldn’t he be a bit passed it by now? Am I right that short term goalkeeper loans are still allowed outside of the transfer windows? |  |

You may well be right (on your first point) - Not sure on the second. |  |

Yep thats him and he was from Charlton. It was a long time ago so I probably remember him worse than he was |  | |  |
