TWEETY PIE 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Great new''s yesterday and let''s hope for more soon,however i''m a little concerned about GR''s comment " We may have to wait until the end of the summer transfer window for the 5/6 loan player''s" That is far as i am aware is 31st August - almost a month into the season , I realise that''s where we are as a club, but i believe a good start is pivotal to a good season and we might effectively be going into it 5 players short.

Carrow89 185 Posted June 18, 2008 That''s three or four league games at most - 20 days less than three weeks.Not what we want but what we have to live with. A larger squad is always merely a means of covering injuries, loss of form, useful to develop tactics etc. I think the team will be able to cope early on. Massive incentive to the players - "we are bringing in new blood, make sure it''s not your place we are looking at"I shouldn''t panic too much if I were you.

NCFC_Thain 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Loans will always be made later on as the teams will want to see what youngsters are surplus. They may need to bring in a new right back for example, if they fail to do this and have loaned out their best young right back they are short. This is why loans won''t happen until later in the transfer window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antwi is 20 and unlikely to break into Liverpool''s first-team squad if he hasn''t done already, and Macheda isn''t even 17 until August. You''d hope that they might release these players on loan before the start of the season, Macheda in particular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
