Though isn't that what loans are to achieve for the parent club, to give the players bit of a kick up the arse?
Harry Kane had a lot of uninspiring loans, I'd imagine it was all part of his development. Not much comfort for the loaning club though.
The Liverpool player was only a rumour on here, so the source is no different to Saddlebrains saying King is against loans.
Austin was also very negative towards loan signings when asked about them at the forum. I think he'd have mentioned if we'd had one lined up but if fell though and I'm...
Having a squad full of permanent is the ideal scenario.
But if you're short in certain areas, as we clearly are, what's wrong with loans as a stop gap?
I dongbthink our success rate in the Championship has been to bad. But any player incoming is a risk.
At least you can always fuck them off Ayari style if they're not up to it
At the moment I'd say no, and along as we give Lampard what he needs then alls well.
But if money is tight, and I've never called for King to splash money we haven't got, then it's potentially another avenue of recruitment that we shouldn't ignore.
Not sure that rumours we were trying to sign a loan but didnt actually signed one proves we are trying to sign loans.
Again, we're the only club in the league without one, it's not that difficult to get them.
And you're right about people making up their own narratives!
There's definitely been a change in recruitment policy and Saddkes has said as much. Of course, he's not always right, and he doesnt claim to be, but I definitely think there was,a shift, hopefully that's now going to be sorted.
We're the only team in the league without a loanee, so it's not a myth.
And it's clear there's something behind his unwillingness to sign experience players as we've stripped the squad of them
Hopefully with the contract given to Bidwell and this signing (which hopefully goes through), he's...
Noticed this myself. There was one occasion in the 2bd half where I thought he'd taken the ball outside of the box though the linesman was inline with the 18 yard line so it must have been OK but it is very risky.
