Take a look at the following stats:
Facundo Pellistri - Deportivo Alaves - Loaned out entire season.

- That's an average of 33 minutes per game.
- 0 goals. 0 assists.
- Missed 2 matched due to injury. One of those was due to COVID.
Axel Tuanzebe - Napoli - Loaned out since January.
- 1 match in Serie A and 1 match in Coppa Italia totalling 130 minutes playing time.
- That's an average of 65 minutes per game.
- 1 clean sheet (but he only played 10 minutes in that game).
- Missed 6 matches due to injury.
Amad Diallo - Rangers FC - Loaned out since January.
- 10 matches in the Premiership and 3 in the SFA cup totalling 500 minutes playing time.
- That's an average of 38 minutes per game.
- 3 goals. 0 assists.
- Missed 2 matches due to injury.
Anthony Martial - Sevilla - Loaned out since January.
- 9 matches in La Liga and 3 in the Europa League totalling 673 minutes playing time.
- That's an average of 56 minutes per game.
- 1 goal. 1 assists.
- Missed 3 matched due to injury.
Donny van de Beek - Everton - Loaned out since January.

Tahith Chong - Birmingham - Loaned out the entire season.
- 20 matches in the Championship totalling 1561 minutes playing time.
- That's an average of 78 minutes per game.

Surely the point of a loan is to get more playing time? Of all these loans only Williams and maybe Chong have been useful.
Why haven't we recalled anyone when it was obvious the player wasn't going to get gametime?
Who picks the club to begin with?
Edit: Forgot Pereira but can't be bothered. Loaning him out to Flamengo was definitely a good move. Played 44 matches for them.
