Loan scoring

So the Reds send out Anthony le Tallec and Neil Mellor on loan to Sutherland and Wigan and both score goals today (West Brom 0-1 Sunderland, Middlesbro 2-3 Wigan). I can understand sending away a player surplus to requirements (as they say in the Premiership) to bottomdwelling Sutherland but a player I don’t see as surplus at all to the team just a few places beneath you in the standings? That doesn’t make as much sense to me. Oh well, I’m still looking forward to tomorrow’s clash at Old Trafford.

Although How Benítez built Liverpool by Kevin McKarra is a good explanation as to why these deals were done and that someone like me should not be second guessing Rafa.
