Johnson not a fan of loan additions

Southampton striker Stern John is the only on-loan player currently in Johnson's squad, a situation the manager does not intend to change.[LNB]City face Blackpool on Saturday, and Johnson told the club's official website: "Blackpool signed a lot of loan players in the first half of the season and many of them had to go back in January, which left them searching to bring in new ones. Perhaps that's why they haven't found a consistency.[LNB]"It has to be a certain type of loanee to give everything for the club. When things aren't going well, do they roll their sleeves up? The future isn't at the club for them, so I don't think so some times.[LNB]"If you look at a lot of teams that have used lots of loans, they aren't necessarily the teams that are doing well.[LNB]"If we need someone we know the emergency loan is there, or we can do a deal with a view to a permanent transfer. But I don't like having too many loans because they're not actually your players."[LNB][LNB]
