Chaplin to Portsmouth on loan… on 15:43 - Sep 1 with 2209 views | _clive_baker_ | Loan just makes no sense to me. Only plus side is he can't play against us, but a loan? Surely he's worth keeping around if that's the alternative. Had we got £6m for him you might say OK, fair enough he's dropped down the pecking order take the money. He's gone on loan and his contract is up at the end of the season? Just bizarre and a lack of foresight IMO. |  | |  |

How do you work that out then? [Post edited 1 Sep 15:44]

Yes, if we got good money a la Broadhead (albeit not on that scale) you could *just about* stomach it. But LOANING him out?! He started on Saturday FFS. I assumed that was a statement to say "you're still part of the furniture Chappers". My *only* thought is that another central 10 has become available on loan...? |  | |  |

Agreed. McKenna has shown a real lack of foresight in bringing in and preferring players who are not as effective. When Chappers plays, you can see him trying to move things on quickly as we used to do. But now we're slow and ponderous. The dream has well and truly died. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Szmodics, Akpom and potentially Egeli can all play there so don't think we necessarily need a replacement but whether any of those can hit the level Chappers did for us remains to be seen Would be absolutely gutted to see him go |  | |  |

We surely can’t be going with Szmodics and Akpom as our 10 options? |  |

I think the ruthlessness was last year when the legends were all replaced. We probably have 'better' players now, but no team spirit. |  |

So odd to me, as you say he started on Saturday and now we're loaning him out until the end of his contract. 28 years old, 13 goals at this level last time out, surely there's a few million to be had for him if we had the foresight a few weeks ago to look to move him on? Don't get it. |  | |  |

Chaplin to Portsmouth on loan… on 15:48 - Sep 1 with 1671 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | If he’s on the last year of his deal, surely this has to be worked out so it makes financial sense for us? Not just going to let him run out his contract at Pompey? |  |

Obligation to buy? Edit: No, no logic in that whatsoever. [Post edited 1 Sep 15:51]

But he would be on a free when that obligation comes in wouldn’t he? If we sell for cash maybe but otherwise just de-register Harry Clarke! |  |

I think this must largely be the case. |  |

He was ruthless last season and we suffered for it. This smacks more of clueless. |  | |  |

Yes, realised that immediately afterwards. Unless there is some deal in place so they can have him on loan now. Another player let go for free in thanks for the job done, akin to Morsy? |  |

Chaplin to Portsmouth on loan… on 15:59 - Sep 1 with 1077 views | Blooos | Starts a league game, loaned out 2 days later.. Were not getting any money for a player who seems a real leader on and off the pitch. I guess with Akpom and Szmods as 10's he's the 3rd choice when everyone is fit. |  | |  |
