Mowbray eyeing loan market

Posted on: Fri 09 May 2008

TONY Mowbray admits Albion are looking at the loan market to bolster their squad for next season.

But, with only two loan deals permitted from the Premier League all season, the Baggies boss insists there will be no rash decisions.

"I think you've got to look at loans but you are only allowed two internal loans in the Premier League," said Mowbray.

"Once you have used your two you don't get any more all season.

"So, if we're going to loan from the Premier League we've got to make sure we get them right and not bring squad players in but bring players in who you hope will make an impact on your team."

The Albion chief revealed the search also includes players from England's top four clubs.

"We are looking at the top four but we are looking at every team," Mowbray added.

"If the right ones aren't available we won't be using them.

"We're not going to use two loans for the sake of using two loans.

"If people aren't available in the summer they might be available in January and we've got to remember that.

"It is cost-effective as well because you might be getting a player who is worth £5m or £10m just for his salary.

"If you can do that for a year you take the hit on what it costs you to pay him because there is no long-term outlay.

"We need to look at that and hopefully use it well."
