useless Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's because we have both Cleverly and Sinclair on loan and Premier teams are only allowed two domestic loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 we can only loan more than two players from a domestic club or from Narnia if Frodo makes it to mount doom with the ring without spilling a drop of Iron Bru and making it through two verses of It's Raining Men in Latin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamDouggie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Grrrr. Why do people read that sort of comment and instantly use it to sling insults. Who says he didn't already know they were more natural as strikers. I've heard him say that about weimann several times. He's been lumbered with some crow wingers from the precious manager who didn't use them and has had other areas to prioritise with his paltry amount of transfer money. He's solved Central defence, the goalkeeper, the target man, the deep midfielders and now the full backs. Now he has turned attention to the wingers.Because it's used as yet another excuse. If he wanted to play gabby and weimman as forwards then why sign kozak and helenius last summer instead of a wide player? If he wanted to play them as strikers why sign cleverly in the summer instead of a wide player? We've just signed gill and Sinclair for a similar amount we paid for Joe Bennett, so the money argument doesn't really fit. Goal scoring was an issue last season and its become a serious issue this year. Its great we've finally got them and hopefully it makes the difference we need. The thing that is always overlooked in these sort of arguments is whether or not the right players were available at those times. Managers needing to improve a team aren't likely to do nothing. It's all well and good to say, for example, that we've signed Gil and Sinclair for a similar cost to Bennett (which I find unlikely given the wages etc.), but have Gil or Sinclair been available for transfer and such a cost up until this point? If not, how can you strengthen without bringing in your #1, #2 or #7 targets? If you look at the players we've been strongly linked with in the past season or so, it seems clear that Lambert has prioritised an attacking midfielder - but hasn't been able to secure one. Perhaps (speculative) he saw this as a bigger issue than having to play Gabby and Weimann wide in a 4-3-3? If you're going to utilise them there, you need cover for either those guys as wide players or strikers. I seem to remember Helenius being signed and touted as playing in a role behind the striker? He was relatively cheap and potentially versatile - but it didn't work out. Kozak offers a different sort of striker to Benteke, Gabby or Weimann if an attacking midfielder came in. With all of Lambert's transfers I think there's been good reasoning behind them. Not all have worked, of course, but strengthening the squad initially was a good call. Signing Benteke was a good call. Prioritising the defence after this was a good call. Now we're lacking goals and he continues to look for more attacking players - I think we'd all agree it's a good call. No-one is perfect in a transfer window, but you can't look at getting Gil for £3m now and simply say "why not do this earlier?" when everyone knows football/transfers aren't that simple at all.This.,well put !!! Agree...well put! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 In my un-ITK opinion. I'm pretty confident we'll see a 'big in stature' striker sign on loan before the end of the window..to provide some competition for Benteke while Kozak makes a slow come back. Just caught a glimpse of him playing in the Scottish Third Division: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
