How often do you see EPL players, especially ManUre players, in the Conference and even Division 3?

Seldom if ever.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
[nb: Talking about the past so strictly not player naming :p]

In the mid 90's :-
Russell Beardsmore, didn't he go to Bournemouth on Loan when they were in divi 3, when he was at United?

Reality check. Let's take a look at last year's loans in the Conference (courtesy of www.footballtransfers.co.uk):
Dag&Red loaned a LW from Aston Villa, Hereford another Villa player, Northwich signed an ex-ManU youth (not loaned), Scarborough loaned a Bolton DC, Stevenage replaced the entire squad it seems but the highest division loan player came from Q.P.R., and finally Woking and Tamworth loaned premiership goalies from Tottenham and Birmingham respectively.

Not a whole lot but occasionally it happens. Couldn't be bothered to follow it back to find the last ManU loan player. What did we learn from this? Nothing, really...it's still up to you to decide how realistic that loan is. I personally don't agree with the philosophy of letting CM4 (the 4 is important here) decide what's realistic as it seems to be flawed.
