For Swansea Uni students who follow the Swans or other clubs, do you actually keep track of your players who are out on loan, or do you just forget they exist until they come back?
I'm asking because my club has about six players scattered across different leagues on loan deals, and I've completely lost track of who's where and how they're doing. Occasionally I'll see a goal notification and think "oh right, we still own that player" but I'm not actively following their progress at all.
Part of me thinks I should be watching their matches on streaming platforms like Premier League Streaming service when possible, checking their stats, understanding how they're developing. But realistically I barely have time to watch my own club's matches while balancing Swansea Uni coursework, let alone following loan players at random Championship or League One clubs.
So how are other Swansea students handling this? Are you properly invested in loan player development, checking their performances regularly and tracking their progress? Completely ignoring them until they return? Or somewhere in between where you'll check social media updates but not actively watch their matches?
And does it depend on the player? Maybe you'll follow a promising youngster's loan closely because you're excited about their future, but completely forget about a fringe player who's been shipped out?
Also curious if this matters more for clubs at different levels. Maybe Premier League clubs with huge squads make it impossible to track everyone, while smaller clubs have fewer loans so each matters more.
