To be honest it's a handful of the same old culprits, the moaners and groaners shout the loudest and want the most attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 2 more tomorrow? Striker and left back ideally.I believe a left back on a season long loan from down south is one of them but I’m far from in the know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would do. Folk bemoaning the use of loan deals seem to forget that this is the market we have operated in for many years now, as have all clubs. Some have worked, while others haven't - pretty much the same scenario with players on contacts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necessity forced our hand in January, but it wasn't ideal to have that many loanees in - it was a crazy percentage of the squad in the end. IIRC Jim said from pretty much day one that he wanted more properly contracted players, with a handful of loans on top. It's clearly the way to go, as long as those loans are adding quality that we couldn't normally afford, rather than just filling up the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though would add that at least we don't need to bloody pay them off if they are duds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - dodged a bullet with Coulson, NBM and Willock, in that respect. (Aside: I just googled NBM, who has apparently scored two in three in the Danish league for his new club. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, don't get me wrong, I'm not wringing my hands over him having scored a couple of goals. He looked rank rotten when he was here, and we are well shot.
