Patrick Bamford’s third goal in four matches and definitive proof that Marko Marin not only exists but is actually contributing in a meaningful fashion for Fiorentina are this week’s Loan Report lead stories, with everything elsewhere remaining much the same as you’re used to.

The first Loan Report of the post-international window will read much like those that preceded it.

Following a record-breaking week of loanwatch football seven days ago, everything calmed down somewhat this week and whereas we had eight goals to watch last time out, there were none this week. In the search for suitable headliners, we’re forced to focus on two players for unfortunately negative reasons. Headliners Nathaniel Chalobah hasn’t had the opportunity to play much competitive football so far in 2014-15 and so Burnley gave him…
