Or that he just listens to the manager, which this suggests is happening.

Watched the last 3 warm ups and he has looked to be a bit of a spare part to be honest. Jones seems to be the main man, but as I say, only watched 3.

Yeah, think you're right.

Good point. Just looked it up, don't think he gas operated with just those 2 before, not sure why I thought he had.

Nice one.

Why do people think he'll be replaced? Hasnt Lampard had a team of just Jones and Edwards before?

I'm convinced, based on what I've heard and DMs received that Carr was not a Robins appointment. Not going to get in to the argument over that again if people don't believe it fair enough but it's a really good sign if so. It show Lampard is putting his mark on every part of the club and that...

Re: your last paragraph, that's exactly what I'd argue. Prior to that the team was very static.

Yeah, credit where its due. Even if its funded/part funded by a departure (BTA), its looks just the type of signing we've been crying out for.

I thought there was,a player there but his work rate out of possession was poor. I'm sure he learnt lessons that have helped him develop to where he is today.

I've said this before on here but not all loans require a fee. Some parent clubs pick up the bill but there are caveats, such as they have to play otherwise the club theyre loaned to pay their wages. McFadzean touched on this in his interview with Skyblue TV last week.

Your theory has no more weight of evidence behind it than mine. I've said I could be wrong, but nothing you've said has dissuaded me so I'll leave it there

Great bit of business if we get this one over the line.

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.

Well I don't agree. And that's backed up by what Saddles has said. Again, I appreciate that doesn't mean it's true.

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!
