Good. Isn't Wiafe Danquah already there?

Good, I'm all for young players going out on loan

He's no longer our player iirc

Two incredible signings for Gateshead, Tavenier got alot of football with the first team in pre-season and Edmundsson is a full international and played against the likes of Italy, hope they destroy their league.

I agree.... would send Ranger too.. keeps him close so we can keep an eye on him

Be great to see them both do well, which I'm sure they will. Might make time to go along to a Gateshead game now

Thats awesome. Good luck to them, both look like they have a future!

Positive news. Dunno about Edmundsson but Tavernier was on the fringes of the first team squad at one point and needs regular competitive football to continue progressing.

Tavernier looked half-decent pre-season, likewise Edmunsson has always looked okay. Hopefully they will pick up a bit of experience and help Gateshead out at the same time. Good luck to 'em.

Great move for everyone involved, good benchmark for Tavernier, and it'll really help round out Edmundsson's ability. He's great on the ball and will get stuck in, joining Gateshead will only toughen him up further. Fantastic!

interesting. thought Tavernier would appear vs Stevenage, and i reckon he is capable of playing at a higher level, but it's good to see they'll both be getting football (while probably remaining close enough to train with us every so often/use club facilities). could be the start of a collaboration?

Glad to see the "cockney mafia" regime helping out Tyneside's second club while at the same time getting some decent senior experience for reserve players.
Mutually beneficial and very positive.

Great for Gateshead but I'd rather they had gone on loan to a Football League team if it was possible. Valuable experience all the same though, better for them than knocking around the reserves at this stage.

Like Jonny said, this will be so they can still train at Benton. BSQ is still a decent league, and Gateshead are a decent footballing side.

Seems too low a level for them to be playing at for me. Got to be League 2 at the very lowest.

Optimistic Nut · « **Reply #16 on:** Friday 7 January 2011, 01:03:58 PM »

To be honest there's very little difference in quality between League Two and the Conference. It's almost all pro now it might as well be League Three.

Hughesy · « **Reply #17 on:** Friday 7 January 2011, 01:04:58 PM »

Suppose so - it just seems wrong that a couple of our decent young players are playing non-league football.

League 2 is very poor from 10th down, not that big a step down plus it will be Tav's first regular football outside of reserves, good place to start!

I loaned Edmundsson when I was Gateshead on FM. He averaged about 2 goals a game.

Optimistic Nut · « **Reply #20 on:** Friday 7 January 2011, 01:07:32 PM »

You quite often see teams go from the Conference to League 1 in a couple of seasons and clubs like Luton, Wrexham, Mansfield, York and now Darlington and Grimsby are showing how hard it is to get out of there. Good level of football.

FM falls a part when you loan players from high leagues. The attributes/CA ranges don't scale well at all

Credit to Pardew. He did speak about doing this, but we all thought it was generic manager talk #4.

class move, always wondered why we didnt do this sort of thing with Gateshead. Got to be better than hoying them in the reserves / under 18s.
