THE LOAN ARRANGER

PORT VALE boss Andy Crosby jokes he will make sure his Premier League loan stars get a ticket for the Carabao Cup semi if his League One side pull off another upset tonight.

Crosby's side are in the quarter-finals of a major cup competition for the first time.

It sets up the possibility of a semi-final date in January, although four of his loanees may have been recalled by then.

Spurs starlet Alfie Devine, Sheffield United midfielder Oli Arblaster and Crystal Palace defender Kofi Balmer, as well as Josh Thomas from Championship side Swansea, have impressed this season.

All have recall clauses next month, which might mean heartache if Vale win tonight.
