Hog 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Sounds very familiar, keep the fans happy cos we are at least bidding and then we end up with nothing and the money evaporates! Hope we are all wrong though, there is still 5 hours left! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just remember before your next moan that it''s Roeder who is keen on bringing these players here, whoever they are. Can you not see what Roeder is trying to do?

sydneysider 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Loanees, I don''t mind whether they are permanent or not. No point in paying over inflated prices for players if loanees can do the job. Loanees are afer all players and players are what we need. The benefits of loanees for their clubs and ours has been gone into elsewhere on this Forum. Glenn is no mug, unlike some fans and supporters on this Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsr600 0 Posted January 31, 2008 how do you know they have big futures ahead, many a prem reservist has been stated as being the next best thing but turned out to be utter pants. the point there trying to make is that apparantly roeder was to be backed in the market and nothing happens except loans, so weres the 750000 that had apparantly been offered for tiny gone then, surely if we didnt spend it on tiny we wouldve spent it on a viable quality long term option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southfields Canary 0 Posted January 31, 2008 lets hope we keep the 750k and the rest til the summer. whats the point of frittering it away now mid-season? he''s obviously got a good enough squad to stay up, bolstered it with a few loanees for now and can keep the cash back for summer rather than panic in right now.

It''s not as if it''s going to stop us from bringing in good players on permanent deals is it?Now, are you going to attempt to answer my questions or you just simply going to ignore them?

I beg to remain sceptical. Tiny or a new striker would go a long way to changing my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they know a little bit more about football than you, me and a damn sight more other people on this forum, don''t you? And for all we know, Roeder might well have decided to keep that money back until the summer transfer window where it''s easier to do business. While we''re all entitled to our opinions, none of us are in a position to question the judgements of the managers that I''ve mentioned. Especially not Roeder.

yellow hammer 131 Posted February 1, 2008 Obviously loanees are not the ideal solution but we have to make the best of a bad situation. We all know (I hope) by now why there''s no tidy sums of money available for permanent signings at this point in time, but on paper they look to be quality kids who can add cover to the squad for the rest of the season.Perhaps we can turn a couple of them into permies come next May.
