Streuer pointed out that hiring a player on loan allows clubs to strengthen their teams without having to make a direct purchase, especially when they are on a tight budget. However, he also noted that clubs in the Eredivisie often use loan deals to acquire players from bigger clubs, such as Manchester City, who they know they cannot afford to buy outright. This allows them to bring in a better player than they could have otherwise.
Streuer also highlighted the disadvantages of loan deals, stating that they provide only short-term benefits and do not help build capital for the club. He added that if a player performs well on loan, the club that hired him may not be able to buy him from the club that loaned him out, unless they had previously secured an option to buy.
This raises questions about the long-term sustainability of loan deals in the Eredivisie, and whether clubs are prioritizing short-term gains over building a strong foundation for the future.
