kick it off 1,927 Posted August 31, 2017 Michael bailey said last night he had heard toffolo likely to go on loan.Independent journo says Doncaster loan is on.We''d better have another left back coming in. Stiepermann can do a job there and far better bet than husband (my 11 month old baby is a better bet than husband tbf) but he may be needed in midfield and we cannot go until Jan with Husband as the first choice/Only left back - that would be totally unacceptable in my book.

Year of the tiger 51 Posted August 31, 2017 Maybe a loan lb till January when Lewis should be fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,927 Posted August 31, 2017 I''d take a loan Lb until Jan. Dijks would be ideal. Whatever though, I do not want us being stuck with Husband and no alternative - that would be suicidal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted August 31, 2017 Oh for Mitchell Dijks right now.I would try a sneaky season long loan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,096 Posted August 31, 2017 If Toffolo goes out on loan surely that could be seen as a loan too far and that the likelihood is that he will eventually be sold to a lower league club for a few hundred thousand.The emergence of Lewis as a better prospect would seem to enhance this view as I would have thought that Harry Toffolo would have been a viable rival to the embattled Husband as things stand. The youngster seems to have been on the brink of a breakthrough forever, if indeed he is still a ''youngster.'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted August 31, 2017 I agree it does not bode well for his city career but its not really a surprise; but he can use this loan to highlight his strengths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 929 Posted August 31, 2017 We should have given him a chance long before now. Always looked capable but never given the opportunity to prove it.Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks kick it off, it was an easy mistake!Fair play, if he has made the breakthrough at Ajax then its a no-go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 31, 2017 he''s 22 played a couple of times so its pretty obvious he is not good enough Been on loan for last 3 years Sent out most of the time because we had Ollson and Brady. Now we haven''t apparently got two as good as them so why hasn''t he been given a chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted August 31, 2017 Dijks has had his chance he could of signed a full time contract here to start with but changed his mid so we loaned him he could have been a city for many years but HE decided not to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted August 31, 2017 I''m sure the coaches know what they are doing. If Toffolo was not up to it as far as we are concerned I''m sure the club would have sold him for a nominal fee with a hefty sell on clause. Plenty of players who we thought might make have been released/or sold. It is a sign of the club''s ambition that we have not kept him as left mack simply to make up the numbers.

Mason 47 1,351 Posted August 31, 2017 I find myself going back to the Webber rhetoric for these type of deals.We spent money on a first-team left back, and then spent money on a first-team utility man as backup because the youth players weren''t ready or weren''t good enough- up to you to decide which Harry falls under.Anyone who thinks we will now commit more funds to the LB position is in absolute dreamland.
