They may be right, but if they are it's only guesswork and speculation, they have no actual insight in to our club or how it's run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Isn’t it strange how often when players are suggested on here (and occasionally even by random ppl on Twitter), within a few days we are linked to them in the press? And even sometimes attempting to sign them. Loftus Cheek has been mentioned for weeks & many of us have suggested Chelsea’s surplus players. Many examples before then too...

TRO Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 10 hours ago, nepal_villan said: Don't understand the anti-loan sentiment by most. Loans are to plug gaps for the short-term. CM is clearly a weakness and if we have not found a player we can purchase at the right price, then we definitely should be loaning someone. It also allows us to spend money on other areas. I am not opposed to loans in the short term....provided : not too many, no more than 2 must have option to buy I understand the reluctance to develop other clubs players, but sometimes it works for both parties and gives us time to scout more dilligently and accurately. Our academy kids are some way away from the first team so shouldn't inhibit their progress, either. I think we should look prudently at this method as an alternative to being fleeced by avaricious clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 2 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: Yes but bringing in a few high quality loans could push us up to become a mid table side and not looking like relegation fodder. That in turn will make the club more appealing for better players to move to us in the future. Agree there. Some people forget that even the top five clubs bench or beyond players are much better than most players in the bottom half of the table except the odd few. We would be wise to take advantage of snagging some up anyway possible. Look at Martinez, that says it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 We need competition or better than Targett for LB... Henry has been linked but he’s quite small and we could do with a bit more height in the team (especially in CM). Emerson from Chelsea? Any good? Sessegnon/Davies? Any other suggestions we will undoubtedly & shortly see links to... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked both of those I did, Emerson used to be very energetic and quick and skilly, Sessegnon was or still is a good dribbler of the ball.

I think you are spot on Dave. I think that's what were trying to do and have been, looking for players who fit the bill, but would be willing to leave those clubs up the top of the table. Lange seems very smart at this, picking through the haystack of clubs players for bargain needles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that I doubt that the owners convinced Jack to stay with the promise of a couple of loans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
