You’re surely not telling me that Portsmouth didn’t have high hopes for Richard Duffy?

Yes, and it was as stupid then as it is now. You have a cap on loanees, so why would you be loaning a player in who will either sit on the bench or cause one of your other loanees to sit on the bench? It’s idiotic.

it’s stupid for the player and stupid for the parent club, not for us if we get what we need

Its stupid for us when one of them gets the hump in January and we’re left without again.

We need to fund the squad properly so we don’t need two loans in one position but that’s for another thread.

While we’re being irritated:

Wingbacks are midfielders not defenders. We play 3412 not 5212. They’re expected to provide attacking width while the wide CBs can come across and the two DMs provide a shield.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

But it’s mad. Loans should be the preserve of either (a) the star quality that you have little chance of affording on a permanent basis, or (b) structuring of deals that may turn into permanents, like Sheaf/Chaplin.

If we’re using loan positions to fill gaps in the squad on the basis of cover then I would seriously question the way we’re managing the squad structure.

Sounds like Osti will sign a new deal before heading out on loan.

If that's the case, no chance we can compete on % wage contribution

This, and as good as Osti was for us, Clarke-Salter could actually be a better fit.
Much better on the ball, left sided meaning we have a natural balance & can get the best from Hyam/Rose too & as he's unlikely to be in Chelsea's plans, potential future transfer too.

Yep as someone above said regarding loans. The idea could be a loan with the view to a perm deal, and this JCS could work in the longer term for us.

I'm not ruling out Drysdale either. Someone's written him off but i'm not.

Harvey White 20 y-o at Spurs U_23's could be our second loan target.
Left sided defensive midfielder. Was on loan at Pompey last year, mainly appeared from the bench. I think they want to get him a loan in the Championship, so maybe we are looking?

Yes only 5 starts for them, think it’s more likely he moves down a league than up.

Really don't know
We still have Allen and Shippers as back up but they aren't in the first rank obviously
If so it's bound to be a loan I guess

I think a CB and a CM will be the 2 loans. Extra cover for Maartsen will come if there are outgoings.

I think Hamer/Sheaf/Kelly with Allen/Shipley/Howley as backup until Eccles returns is passable.

Not ideal, but CB and LWB are the two priorities so if we're getting two more in I don't think one will be a CM.

It’s a shame we don’t have a young high potential LWB who can cover. I thought Reid came with a decent reputation but he doesn’t seem close.

Is that just because he’s not ready yet, or do we think MR/AV just aren’t impressed? Really hope it’s the former.

I'd assume he needs time to acclimatize. The Championship is a HUGE step up compared to playing any Scottish team that isn't Rangers or Celtic.

Although reports last year said the U23s LWB Newton was more impressive in games and he got released

Issue was Reid was being asked to play Lcb so hard for him to really shine?

Perhaps Robins sees him as a future LCB rather than a wing back

Nope, from my understanding it was just down to injuries and largely because of a lack of options at the time. Reid is seen as a wing back by the coaching staff

With kelly nearly fit, and Eccles due back at christmas, and Jones and Bright being cover for O'hare not to mention Hawley coming through, do we really need another CM in on loan?
If we bring in another CM, we will be tempted to play 1 upfront to accommodate him, which would be a negative move imho.
If we only have the money for 2 loans I'd rather have a CB and another LWB.
