Bringing in loan players makes sense financially, and quality wise too - as they are generally a higher standard of player than our full time lot - just a bit raw.
Too many loan players can disrupt the continuity however. I think we had too many loan strikers over the course of last season. But when the club's budget has reached its limit, and you need more players - the loan option is the only way to go.
Good luck this Forster chappy. The good thing is it is a long term loan, so it shouldn't be disruptive. If he does the bizz, then maybe Brighton will let us hang on to him till May....
