Last season we where 'plagued' with loan singings and short term transfers and in my opinion had a huge part in our relegation. Now, im not one of those people who think that parky should go i think hes done quiet well and done well to achieve stability and more this season with our funds i think hes done a good job. But for every injury you cant respond with a loan signing (maybe the right-back couldn't be helped but playing a center backs there isn't so bad) and its obvious he has no faith in Randolph (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11684_5674252,00.html ) i haven't seen Randolph play much but the times i have i didnt think he was to bad (apart from the Southampton game 2 seasons ago) if i was the manager i would have stuck with Randolph and with Binks on the bench
One more thing..... i think its time to bring back Shelvey
p.s this is my first post so let me know what you think

Some loans are good (Carson, Murty, Costa, Ward) and some aren't.
Plenty of clubs have used the loan system well including Leeds with Volkes. If a loan player can improve the squad then go for it.
I suspect that Richardson will return while Ikeme and Mooney can't play on Sunday anyway so not really an issue.
Shelvey will be back sooner or later but he wasn't playing that well and needed a rest.
Do you mean Vokes ?
I disagreed with bringing in a right back though as I think we could still make do with what we go whether it be putting Youga over there or even Semedo. And Parky did say he wasn't going to go down the loanee route................
I'd rephrase that to say some loans are OK...ish. The only contribution any of those four made to something you could vaguely describe as Charlton ''success'' was the two dozen games Costa played for us in 2001-2.
Carson, Murty and Ward could not stop us getting relegated - indeed, you could argue they all played their part in our decline.
It's become a silly cliche that you don't win anything with kids. But give me Busby Babes over Borrowed Boys any time.
So welcome Merty 111. Apart from Henry Irving, you will find an awful lot of people on here who basically agree with you.
I'd rather have a proper right footed full back playing at right back than a left footed player playing on the wrong side
Player of the season too. He was the poster child for what a loan player should be imho.
I'm surprised that such an articulate man would use the 'everyone else thinks like me so i'm right' arguement.
Didn't Ibsen say 'the majority is always wrong.
Anyway if Solly and Elliot had not had significant injuries it would seem unlikely that Ikeme or Omozus would be here. Sometimes circumstances dictate.
So the basic question still remains: how many loanees have actually achieved what they were brought in to do ? That's where I agree with Merty 111's original post. Experience shows us that shoring up a struggling side with borrowed players does not work.
Quite possibly promoting young players from within our own ranks wouldn't have worked , either. But the outcome could not have been any worse than two relegations in three seasons and would arguably have left us better prepared for longer-term rebuilding.
As it happens, I think this season may be different. Where loan players might work is bringing them into a successful side as short-term cover for injuries , as long as it is used sparingly as a policy and we are confident they are top-notch players and fully fit. But parachuting borrowed players into a side that is losing badly and spirallingly downwards has been proven not to work as any kind of fix whatsoever, short-term or long-term.

The point about Carson is facile. One player can not be blamed or credited with relegation or keeping a club up. As Carson was one loanee alongside 10 permanent players why single out the loan player as reason for relegation when Carson won Player of the Year. I didn't actually rate him that highly but to say he was a failure is just a desperate attempt to dismiss any evidence that is contrary to your prejudices.
Good loans at the right time = good
Bad loans at the wrong time = bad
Wrong IMHO to say that because Pardew overused and abused the loan system we must forever more avoid it so playing other players out of position and have no experienced keeper as back up for league games.
What is strange is that whenever a "good" player (Vokes, Puncheon) goes on loan to another club in our division we have "missed out on him" but loan players are still seen as something bad.
If any keeper was able to save us that season he would have had tights on under his shorts, a cape and more than likely a mask that hid his true idenity as he flew in to the Valley from his secret Keeper Cave.
Didn't someone always say they would only bring people in who were better than we had? Loans can work but only if they fill holes with talent not ballast.
Yes, Norwegian winger. Not liked too much for all his play acting.
I didn't. You really should read more attentively and try not twist other's people's words to suit your own prejudices.
In welcoming Merty 111, I wrote this in reply to his debut posting : '''you will find an awful lot of people on here who basically agree with you.''
Fundamentally different in tone, meaning and nuance.
you said
"Apart from Henry Irving, you will find an awful lot of people on here who basically agree with you."
A clear implication that only one person held a contrary view and so being in the vast majority you were therefore right.
C'mon Nigel you are a professional writer, you used to be the Labour Party's press officer. Don't pretend that you don't know how to "spin" a story.
You misrepresent : ''why single out the loan player as reason for relegation when Carson won Player of the Year. I didn't actually rate him that highly but to say he was a failure is just a desperate attempt to dismiss any evidence that is contrary to your prejudices.''
What I actually wrote was this:
''Henry Irving enthused : ''Some loans are good (Carson, Murty, Costa, Ward)''
I'd rephrase that to say some loans are OK...ish. The only contribution any of those four made to something you could vaguely describe as Charlton ''success'' was the two dozen games Costa played for us in 2001-2. ''
Somehow, you reintertepret this in your black v white way as singling out Carson as the reason for our relegation from the Premiership !!! I'm also rather confused about where you really stand, when you tell us Carson was a ''good'' loan - yet you didn't ''rate him that highly''.
There really is a dialogue of the deaf going on here.
We have some really promising young players on the verge of the first team, albeit young and inexperienced we cannot expect them to play well every week. I can understand the instant need for a ready made player, but loanees I feel only have one foot in the club, with an eye to regaining fitness or getting back to there signed team. Let us hope that Wagstaff and Tuna are not 'loaned out' as well as others, and find a place albeit on the bench in the next few games.We are in the third tier of football, if they are not good enough at this level, going down another tier is not really going to be that beneficial being on the bench at Dagenham for instance is it!.......
Parkinson has used it fairly well (Murty, McEvily, Ward etc), So if we can get it right then what is the problem with loans, out young players are good but not always ready for regular first team football. Loans are needed in the lower leagues , we are just lucky we don't have Pardew to abuse the system!
Wagstaff is clearly goingt o get a go at a start in the league sometime this season and I would be sad to see him go out on loan, not that I would expect it. Tuna however, I would not mind see go out on a couple of one month loans to Div 4 or lower Div 3 to get some starts, rather than not being good enough
"Look at me, look how clever I am". Pathetic really - grown men furiously tapping at their keyboards to try and prove some obscure point!
I can say the word BOLLOCKS. There, look how clever I am.
Just off to see the fireworks at Danson Park actually - much more entertaining than one of those crappy films (with the exception of Under Siege - I could watch the "cake scene" all day!)
