As I have stated before, I try to be very careful in what I do as I don't have the benefit of living within the culture of European football.
In America, GMs in other sports routinely talk to each other about players. How routine is it for a Manager to call up a counterpart somewhere to find out say who's available for loan? Therefore, while I would never peruse the roster of another team looking at their attributes, would it be ok to "burn up the phone lines looking for loan listed players?
As the room-temperature poof said, it's a question of modelling it within FM. In real life this sort of thing goes on all the time, particularly regarding the younger players who could do with a bit of 1st team football.
In FM, the search for Loanees is a grey area, simply because most of the ways of looking for them are tied closely in with some of the less LLM-appropriate methods of player searching.
Some would suggest you only approach those players your scouts have identified as potential Loanees. Some others might suggest being a bit more lenient if you've got a pressing need for a player in a certain position (eg. an injury crisis etc).

But just play the game how you feel is realistic at the end of the day every LLama has a slightly different way of playing the game. It's about keeping true to the spirit of realism :cool:
Give a Little Whistle could almost be adopted as a LLaMa anthem:
When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow
And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!"
Right!
Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
And always let your conscience be your guide
I'm thinking that I can look at rosters with the Transfer view. That way I'm only talking to my counterparts about that specific condition. If I see a player listed as listed for loan, I can send my scout to check him out. If the scout thinks he's worthwhile, I can approach for a loan. That sounds safe to me.
