We seem to loan a lot of players to the same few clubs.
Do you think we try to fit them to a club where they may be suited and develop, or is it just a question of getting them out of the door so we can say they're playing somewhere, so we sling them in the usual direction (Shrews, Walsall...)?

I'd like to think it's because we've built a good relationship with those clubs and they're very happy to blood these talented youngsters that our academy is producing.

If we were a league lower down I think we'd see much more of our academy players getting a crack at some time in the first team, instead we see them often having loan spells then moving on. Not always the case though. 

Even though I hate to mention the B Word, Berahino had quite a few loan spells before he then made his claim for the first team under Clarke. Just a case of too much too soon in hindsight and it's gone to his head.

I would be more than happy to see Livermore at the Albion.

Always seems to stand out in a poor Hull team.

Ditto.

He, Snodgrass and although it pains me to say it, Curtis Davies; would all be very wise purchases if we could land them in this window imo.
