Reading the comments on possible loans for Baggott and Humphreys (broadly the benefits of regular games versus the benefits of training with our current set up), a thought occurred to me. Is there anything to stop a player going on loan somewhere but continuing to train all / part of the week with his parent club? You can see benefits for the player and the parent club. Less so for the receiving club but if it gets them a player who’d otherwise be out of reach then maybe they’re prepared to make the sacrifice. |  | | |  |

I've no idea about the rules, but surely no League team is going to put a player in their first 11 if they aren't training during the week with the rest of the first 11. |  | | |

Doesn't that happen with youth loans? They still play for the under 23s at their parent club? Or have I completely imagined that? |  |

I think they can as they don't need to be registered to play for the youth team, I think Dobra may have played for the u23s here when he wasn't getting picked for Colchester. | | | |

Bill Baxter was doing national service in the Army in Aldershot in (I think) 1961/2. Might have been season before?
Came back for games, with special dispensation for midweek games.
Didn’t train with the team. We won the league!
Different times. | | | |

He did, although once they'd decided they didn't want him. But his loan was still ongoing at the time. Not uncommon for players to go out on loan to non-league and spend time training here in the week. |  | | |

Bit different as he was a goalie, but Paul Gerrard trained with Everton when he was on loan at us back in 2002 |  | | |

Didn't John Wark basically train with Town when he played for Middlesborough? |  | | |
