Croydon Canary 0 Posted March 2, 2009 My nightmare senario would be to see the Pinkun and read as follows:Gunn snapped up Barnsley striker Joe Crapp on a three month loan. " the lad can,t get much playing time at Oakwell but he,s young and keen" said Gunn."He,s just recovered from a near career ending injury and I,m sure he can help us move up the table ". Gunn added "although he may not be the quickest and on paper his strike rate is low he obviously has Championship quality". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 You forgot Gunn''s catchphrase for when a player is signed... "I''m delighted". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted March 2, 2009 My nightmare scenario is: "We very grateful to Ipswich Town for letting us have Player X on loan while he regains his fitness" [+o(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Let''s be honest, what player will want to go on loan to a League One club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted March 2, 2009 quote user = "whoareyou?" Let''s be honest, what player will want to go on loan to a League One club?There are lots of loan players plying their trade in League One so I fail to understand your point?I hate to say it but I can see our loan player recruitment plan continuing if/when we get relegated as it seems to be how the board wishes to do business. They do not seem to realise what a dreadful short termist approach it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted March 2, 2009 Loan players from which divisions though? The std of loan player we will be able to attract will be lower than it is now...and that is saying something. I can''t see any Premier League youngster wanting to play there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

San Miguel 0 Posted March 2, 2009 i think it''s safe to assume that the quality of loan players drop from the championship to league 1, but it doesn''t mean they are bad. it''s more likely to mean the player/owner clubs expectations of the players potential are slightly lower than those loaned to championship clubstake MK Dons for example, they have two players on loan from Chelsea (Cummings and Magnay) both of which i''ve never heard of. however, Cummings plays regular first team football for MKD and they''re not doing too bad for themselvesi wonder if Cummings, a centre back, would have been a better gamble than Bertrand a left back?

shefcanary 2,341 Posted March 2, 2009 Well the main thing will be the players salaries should drop so at least there should be a proper sized squad for the first time since the promotion year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
