Loans - The Masterplan?

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Maybe Cortese had this in mind all along - would explain the lack of transfer activity and would not leave a new manager in any worse position than Pards. With the 25 player rule in the Prem and the filter down effect that will cause surely there will be loan players available to us to supercharge our promotion push? Also why sign players on contracts who are good enough to get us out of L1 but might not fit the bill for a second promotion? There might be some longer term thinking going on here.

Feel sorry for Pards and Cortese needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat with the next manager - the likes of Paul Hart will not cut it with the fans or the players - but loan signings might have been part of the Masterplan. The timing fits.

Portsmouth hardly need the help.

 

We've got a solid side. If the manager is right, a few decent loans could make all the difference.

MY REPLY;

I hope it isn't, otherwise prepare yourselves for some loan signings of the former Pompey rejects ...who helped them get relegated.

Santa Cruz would look good alongside Lambert

Indeed. An astute chap on here (*cough* Trousers *cough*) posted the very same hypothesis a month or so ago... ;-))
