I have a couple of loan players in my squadlast season, one made a great strike partner for my No. 9. I extended his contract through the summer (after being forced to release him for about a day) but now it gets to about August and he has hone back to his old club again. I try to resign him again for the rest of the season but his contract doen't come through in time for my biggest ever match against div 1 leaders Wolves. The other of my players I can't get back at all.
Is there not anyway that a loan deal can be extended before the player leaves. In reality, you wouldn't allow a player to leave for a day and then resign him the next, you would negotiate before the end of the contract.
(Particularly when the day that you lose him is when you have the most exciting tie of your career)
