How is it pointless? this makes no sense at all.. Yes It would be great to have an option to buy, obviously a better choice in the long term.. But even if that loan signing maybe won us some games, purely by his goals, then I would like to think the loan would have been worth it.. e.g. Robbie Keane.
I'm hoping we are in a better position than we were when we signed Keane on loan. I think our new manager should be looking towards the future and building something . A stop gap signing like Keane on loan is not moving us forward IMO.
Yeah your not seeing my point though, he was a loan signing withOUT an option to buy and he did brilliant for us, so I agree that Loan signing with an option to buy is far better.. I would still take someone on loan without an option to buy.
And what I'm saying is I wouldn't like to see the manager sign a loan player w/o an option to buy . I'd rather leave them.
