derry Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The official site sums CA loan up. To give him further experience and when he comes back he will be a better player. I think the outlandish final fee is viewed similarly by us as unlikely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean leaving to join other clubs or to swap with us? Also, are we talking players worth €49m or something more akin to Alcarez's realistic value?

Maybe he wants to come back to his 'spiritual home' his career has taken a bit a nosedive lately but there is a player in there somewhere, I wouldn't be adverse to signing him on a short term deal if he was interested.

Harry_SFC Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I find it hard to see us signing someone else on loan tbh. Would mean we'd still have to leave one of the loan players out of the squad each week and I can't see who that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West end Saints Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 28 minutes ago, SaintsFan86 said: We either need to bring in another midfielder to cover Charles at CB, or another CB. Personally more than happy with cover at CB. I know it is possible we get another long term injury, but even when we did Holgate was hardly used. Stephens can't get back in the side so will already have a CB on the bench. Charles, Bree, Manning offer options if we get stuck for game. If Downes is out, needing Charles to cover, it would only be a problem if it was at the same time as three of our CBs and Bree, and no other options from under 21.

What I mean is that he was the product of our academy, but only made 22 appearance for us before moving to Arsenal where he was hardly a success and has achieved little of note since then (playing just 174 times in ~14 years). For me, he left way too early and we would all have been better off if he'd stayed a while longer. As you point out, there should certainly be no emotional "bring him home" crap and I just don't think he'd be that good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If Charles is our CDM cover, who is our 4th choice CB with Holgate looking to be terminated? We have a lot of games coming up thick and fast, we are likely to pick up injuries and suspensions. Slight concern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedley he was recalled after being injured all season and has only just got fit again, but still.

He may be reluctant to drop down a division just before he is out of contract. He won't want people to think he's a `championship level player'. Maybe we can attract him by loaning him (now) until the end of the season, but with some certainty of a new four year contract at the end of it (assuming we go up).
