The Loan Report

We didn’t have quite as many goals this week but the one we can bring you belongs to Izzy Brown, and it was his first in senior professional football. Headliners Injuries have struck Vitesse down of late, including a long lay-off for Dominic Solanke, and so Brown has not only been able to enjoy a regular run of starts after his own spell on the sidelines, but on Sunday he…

The goals continued to come in a steady supply over the last seven days in the land of the Loan Report with a pair of midfielders adding to their respectable tallies for the season. We begin in midweek, where John Swift broke his duck at home for Brentford. Headliners Heading into their clash with Wolves at Griffin Park, Swift had scored four goals this season but they had all come…

With four more goals in this latest edition of the Loan Report we’ve now passed the 50 mark for the season. A pair of players struck their first efforts since the early autumn whilst another grabbed his fifth of the campaign, but we begin with one who scored for the first time in 2015-16. Headliners Reading hosted West Bromwich Albion in an FA Cup Fifth Round tie at the Madejski…

Three more goals take us closer to the milestone of fifty for the Chelsea loanee season to date, with two amongst them notching for the first time this campaign and one marking his maiden strike in professional football. We start with him. Headliners Charly Musonda caught the eye and then some on his Real Betis debut last weekend and continued to get people talking about him by scoring his first…

The Loan Report exploded into life this weekend with five goals and plenty of sparkling performances to round up for you. Let’s get straight to it. Headliners Andreas Christensen has earned rave reviews so far for his composed, seasoned displays at the heart of the Borussia Mönchengladbach defence since joining on a two-year loan last summer. Goalscoring has however rarely been his forte, with just five goals in his three…

There were no goals this week on the loan front but there have been a couple of key moves as the January transfer window gets underway, so we’ll dive straight in with a look at those. Headliners The most notable, perhaps, is Patrick Bamford’s temporary departure to Norwich City. Having struggled to make an impact at Crystal Palace in the first half of the season, the 22 year-old forward has…

There were no goals in last week’s Loan Report but we’re back with three more from another productive seven days around Europe. Headliners The first of them came from Lucas Piazon on Tuesday night as Reading met Huddersfield in their FA Cup Third Round Replay. Huddersfield took an early two-goal lead before suffering a red card that would change the game. Piazon stepped up, scored with the ensuing set piece,…

Our last Loan Report had plenty of goals in. This week…not so much, but with the Eredivisie resuming there’s more action to catch up on as 2016 begins to fully roll into action. In the absence of anyone else deserving to take the lead this week, we kick off with Chelsea’s newest loanee. Headliners Mitchell Beeney saw the first half of his season affected by injury, limiting him to just…

The French league returned from its winter break this week and it brought with it a pair of Jeremie Boga goals to savour in another productive week on the loan front. Headliners The first of them came on Monday night in Rennes’ French Cup tie away to Nice. Boga scored the first of his team’s two goals in applying a simple finish to a smart team move and, with the…

Another quiet week on the Loan Report front owes much to those still on extended winter breaks so we lead with another goal from Mario Pašalić as well as news of some changes of scenery for a handful of young Chelsea prospects. Headliners Monaco took on amateur outfit St Jean Beaulieu at home in the French Cup and, as expected, ran out handsome winners. Pašalić came on with twenty minutes…
