A rambling, barely formulated thought on loanees ...

In the past, it's often been noted on here that we have problems attracting players to Norwich because it's such a geographical outpost, but that once they're here, a lot of players like the pace/style of life.

So, given that a lot of players might be offered a permanent move to Norwich, having never been to Norfolk, and turn it down on the grounds that they don't like the idea of living here, doesn't bringing in players on loan - so they don't initially have to commit to living in Norfolk - make sense?

It's how we got Huckerby, after all, and the impression I got was that Boo-entley might well have stayed if we'd stayed up. We may well end up keeping Kennedy and maybe even Lupoli too?
