I firmly believe that loans just don't work at all.
I can't recall a single Liverpool player to have come back from a loan spell and started for the first team.
See I think just as often (these days) the idea is to get the player a chance to play so someone else will buy him as it is to prepare him for the Liverpool team. Not always, mind, Ojo and Kent still have a chance with us for instance, and certainly if we loan out Ejaria in January I wouldn't see that as a step toward selling, but as Mags mentions, most of the guys who go out on loan have not used that to become a first team player for us.
Re this player, as BNLA mentioned, we have a glut of young goalkeepers at the moment. They seem to like Grabara and Kelleher and my guess is they are hoping to get something from Joseph.
