Now I know I'm not the most knowledgable footy pundit on here, so forgive me

if this is a thick question, but - What is the POINT of getting a left back on loan for 33 days? Is it on a "just in case Drury gets injured" basis? But Drury's NOT injured, and 33 days is hardly any time anyway. Is it on a "He's better than Drury and will improve our team" basis? But he's only 19, and Worthy never plays da yoof, and he's very unlikely to be better than Drury, and it would bust up the team, and by the time he got even a tiny bit established, he'd be gone again.

I really don't see the point at all. Seems like a waste of money.
