If we had a fully stocked squad of perms doubt people be asking for loans so much either.
It's all about depth and we can achieve that through just perms. Just loans. Or both

The irony is that Vik and Sheaf both started as loans and fans were not impressed with their loan period.Matty James

I do like loans with the option to buy.

I'd say Binks is a yes.
And you missed Panzo who was a yes
Both bolstered the squad and added depth.
He’s on loan from Brighton
At no point this season as Binks been the first choice centre half … hard for him to be a yes if you are asking whether loans make the difference in promo or not.
Panzo barely played after Christmas that season.
Both good squad players but not the reason for success or failure in my view.
Was on loan at West Brom and was recalled by Brighton and loaned to Ipsw
Yep forgot about sheaf!!!

I get why he's averse to loaning in too many important squad members...but hopefully he sees from Ipswich and Hull how they can help you get over the line. The ironic thing is that Ayari next season would probably be a decent loan, he looks already a much improved player at Blackburn.
If ayari had worked out and Mason Clark came in Jan (or Saka not been put out for season shortly after) probably not needed but the way things planned out, defo needed at least one more
All ifs and buts really, much like the end of our season ! Sure we’ll get another 2-3 again but nice to go into the summer knowing the defence isn’t going back to their parent clubs….surely the main area to benefit from consistency and pre season together

I’d be surprised if we didn’t sign a new keeper, centre half and may be even a left back …. That defensive unit could look quite different come the end of Aug
It’s a no brainer to bring in loan players. Last season we had Doyle, McNally and Norton-Cuffy who were a part of one of the leanest defences in the championship. We got to a penalty kick away from the premier league with some good loan players.
The January transfer window was a bit of a disaster which has ultimately cost us

Correct, there is a balance to be had.
And you want the quality, Ayari was probably a bit raw in hindsight. The winger that Hull bought in from Burnley would have been grand, same with Carvalho.

Shame Howley seemingly hasn't worked out. Would have been great to have both Burroughs and Howley back to add depth to the squad

I'd sign JWE and BNC right now though if I could. JWE was clearly raw but some of his talent going forward was clear to see

Howley will go out on loan to a league 1 team for 6 months I'd imagine.
Burroughs didn't do much at Ross County and has done really well at Lincoln until his injury stopped him.
I hope we stop loaning players to the SPL. Shit league with the odd decent game and half the time our lot don't get played.

Yep, playing devil's advocate, we had two highly rated loans this season and neither have shown that potential.
I like Binks but hasn't had the impact we'd want.

The biggest problem is you get promoted with 3 or 4 loanees in your squad, you already have to replace these players the following season, as well as trying to strengthen a squad that is not good enough for the Prem.
That is why you come straight back down after a shit season of winning a handful of games.

If we were in that position you have to plan for that with the increased revenue coming in .I know it would be hard but last season the Doyle and Mc Nally influence was immense.

I like and support Kings stance on loans. They are not the way to build a squad. If you get to Jan and have huge injury worries then yes - take a couple. But I’d really avoid it where possible and don’t think we needed any in January. They’re expensive, can impact morale, can force team selection and you’re constantly in a full rebuild cycle.Lack of loans isn’t the biggest hindrance to getting out of the Championship - that’s the ridiculous parachute payment system - but that’s a different topic
I get the feeling team morale was stronger last season than this.

Our squad has looked paper thin every January since we returned to the Championship.
If King isn't going to fund a bigger squad then he needs to change his stance on loans.
He can't have it both ways and expect Robins to achieve the objectives he's been set.

I think it's just circumstance this year. I see no reason to be worried about king so far.

I'm not worried about him given who he's taken over from!
Just think he has to be realistic.

I think spending over 5m in January is proof he try to help us in every window
