Mowbray Might Look At One More On Loan

Last updated : 05 February 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that he might look at one more loan when the loan window opens on Tuesday.

Speakinfg to the Coventry Telegraph, Mowbray, who has six players on loan, said: “It’s not that I don’t want to do loan deals but you have to prioritise what the team needs – if it was a loan player that was going to make a huge difference.

“I’d have to say there is one scenario where we might have to go back into the loan market again.

“In an ideal world you don’t carry a team of loans and yet this season we have built our relative success off the loan players because the coaching they have had from a very young age has been of a Premier League standard and they understand how we want to work, and they have picked it up fast and it has gone OK.

“At this level of football you can get some players who have generally got better quality than the average League One footballer, so I don’t think it’s a negative to have loan players.

“But loan players are generally here to play and so it’s counter productive if you have too many numbers and have to say to their parent clubs that they are coming to play and then they don’t play because all of a sudden you have more than five.

“You don’t want to be dishonourable to teams who think little Johnny is going to play every week and doesn’t get a game.

“So in an ideal world if we’re going to add players from this point on it’s going to be out-of-contract players of a certain ilk”
