Could be a few reasons. Firstly, a lot of clubs loan out players not just to get experience, but for a profit and will often charge a hefty loan fee in some cases as much as outright buying a player from outside the top league. It might be that we genuinely have no funds available.

In which case loans may be available for less later on in the window once the clubs have done most of their wheeler dealing in the transfer market.
