Loan deadline day thread...


Recommended Posts

Dale Stephens is the latest rumour, young talented lad from Oldham.

 

Oldham?!

 

FFS - we should be signing players from the Premier League. And when I say "Premier League" I don't mean some kid from Fulham, I mean someone who regularly gets on the bench for United of Manchester.

Totally agree with you, why haven't we gone for someone like Owen? Or even Fletcher at Man utd? they're not getting games at the moment.

 

Our lack of ambition is shocking.

He is good mates with Rupert Lowe and the car park attendant at The Dell.

 

It's all coming together. Was it me or did I just walk past José Domingo Salcedo of Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo enjoying a post medical pint at the King Alfred? A real midfield dynamo... surprised we could get a work permit for him personally.

And Michael Stewart has joined Charlton after being out of contract from a Turkish club. Only 30' date=' done well in SPL, could've missed out there as he seems a reasonably competent centre mid.[/quote']

Reasonably competent? Now that's the stuff dreams are made of!

He was only in there after he heard the rumours of topless barmaids.

Kakuta, Malouda... the list is endless. One of them must want to join us.

 

I can only conclude we are skint.

I just saw Milan Ćulum from FK Željezničar Sarajevo coming out of the Northam Social Club.

 

He is good mates with Rupert Lowe and the car park attendant at The Dell.

 

You’ve got that wrong – he’s a mate of a black African mate of an Italian mate of a Serie ‘A’ ball boy who knows someone who Cortese knows from his Italian football connections, so we are bound to get him on loan.

Got to be worth having one so we can post our central midfield woes when no-body is brought into the building or climbs on the bus after a couple of days speculation n'est pas?

 

with Puncheon on the road to no return, and Holmes, Schneiderlin, ..and now Lallana and AOC injured we have to sign AT LEAST one ..why not two ? Ten games to go, we'll never be better placed and have to secure the stregth of the squad.

I don't get it. There are players out there that our surely within our budget that we could attract... yet everything is silent, as always. We're pretty threadbare too so I do have to wonder if we actually do have the resources, even for a short-term loan. Is it resources? Is it that we can't find a player that would improve our squad and would be willing to play for us (which I don't believe for a second considering there are hundreds, probably thousands who'd love to and are good enough).

 

Or is crazy Nige confident with what he's got?

We are only "threadbare" if Lallana and Chamberlain are injured for some time and even then we have options. It has nothing to do with resources IMO. If we had "resources" issues we would have sold Chamberlain in January and wouldn't have signed Guly and Chaplow.

 

If Lallana and Chamberlain are going to be alright within the next week or so then we don't need anyone, although it would be good to get someone at CM if there is one out there who could challenge for a first team place. It's nice that there is a day (today) in between the match and the closing of the window as it gives us a chance to assess Lallana and Chambo.

Ok, threadbare was probably an overstatement until the facts are known about Lallana/Ox. However, a CM would do very nicely... a Graham Kavanagh type would do a half decent job in helping us over the line (as he's done with a few clubs before). Someone who's just been there before, unspectacular but solid with the experience, just in case anyone starts to wobble a bit..

Can't argue with that. I still reckon there is something up our sleeves. Forte was a deadline day signing I think...

Well, it'd be nice to see some movement. I don't know why, but I find myself on the PFA Players website looking at the free transfers! Only players that would 'bulk out' our squad and add maybe a little something are Kevin McLeod (left midfielder) and James Scowcroft (Rickie back up?) though.

 

Darren Powell's there too, lol. :-o

thats a pretty poor loan if true....you can't tell me we cant get some good kids from prem teams, especially ones who are safe.

Frimpong from Arsenal would be of been great...

 

Would like to think any loan signing we make would be in a similar way to that of Guly and Chaplow, where they may well have a future with us.

I know Jamie Scowcroft. He's been playing his football at St. Neots! I still believe he could do a job for a club in L1. That said, he seems pretty content with life at the moment. Spending loads of time travelling to watch Man Utd. :-/

 

 

He is a long way below our level.

It's not really that imperative.

 

This is year 2. If we go up in year 3 would we still have 2 years to get to the Premier League in accordance with the stated time line.

 

(Queue someone saying who the squad will be "ravaged", "decimated", "ruined" etc if we don't go up.)

TBF we'd probably lose Adam, Fonte, Oxo etc - but I'm sure we'd reinvest and be as strong next time. (not saying that'll happen, as we'll be promoted this year!!)
