Can we still Loan out players to the Championship or has that Window closed?

I read somewhere that we haven't loaned out the youngsters so that we can remain competitive in the top-level U23-league we've just been promoted to, which makes sense.

Perhaps a group of people sat around a table and assessed the impact historic loans had on ultimate first team selection or profitable sale, and decided that this model does not work for us. Better to keep in house, especially under our new Cat 1, and release/sell if a player can't progress.

Also, if we continue to blossom in the youth leagues, perhaps the term "ex Palace" will eventually have the same cache (and selling power) as, say, "ex Liverpool".

Finally, we just hired a very expensive and highly regarded coach from PSG to facilitate a more effective transition from minor to major. Odd if we then ship out all his little lambs.

I am hoping the club see this window as the last big splurge. From now on we're feeding the first XI with fresh meat, locally reared.

Have any recent loan spells been considered a success?

The lad who went to Hibs effectively ended his Palace career.

I must admit i thought we could still loan out players a week after the window shuts.
