I’ve had this…
l’ve loaned in a R/L Fullback - for which I need him as a L Fullback. Played most games, 7.28 average rating. Looks like he will be recalled as they wanted him to play on the right.
Initially I was angry, but on reflection… When I loan decent players out it is because they aren’t quite ready for the first team, but I have signed them for a specific role. So for example I generally have 2 players for each position, sometimes a future player is available so I’ll sign them as the 3rd option, but as game time is limited I loan them out. I would want them to play that position so they develop the strengths for that role, so they can slot in when they return (or not if they were rubbish in that role on loan).
