West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce is preparing to loan out those on the fringes of his plans, with Championship suitors being sought.
The likes of Ravel Morrison and Diego Poyet are expected to be heading out of Upton Park in the near future.
They need game time if they are to fulfil their potential, with regular action required away from their parent club.
Allardyce is happy to sanction deals, having held out over the summer, and hopes competitive minutes can be found in the second tier.
He said: “There was a possibility of that before the transfer deadline, but I didn’t take the opportunity to loan the players out.
“It would have had to be one phase of the season, from the start of the season to January. But we are on the emergency loan window now so it is more flexible for me to let them out for 30 days, 60 days or 90 days.
“That will get them first team experience, but also I won’t lose them for too long just in case we run into an injury problem. But we will look at the emergency loan system and decide that one or two could benefit from it.
“From my point of view, it has to be a Championship club to get them first team football and if that arises in the next couple of weeks, we will look at it.
“It just depends at the time, when the club makes the call, we will sit and debate it and see if the player in question will benefit from playing for that club on a month’s loan or not.”
