No loan signings - why?

[CHAPPERS]

Saving money for a permanent signing in Jauary?
Saving money for a few loanees in January?
Been promised some playesr in January?

or

Resigned to scrapping out this relegation fight with the squad we've got as the board aren't really that arsed if we get relegated?

I'm not be maliscious in any way but it does raise the question AGAIN whether the playing side is taking a back step for a few seasons until Falmer is on the way for real. Personally I wouldn't mind this but it's not ideal.

I was thinking that we are saving our money for signings in January, whether they be permanent or rolling contracts etc.

You can but hope.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I know its only a month but it is the month with the most matches in it (i believe) and the squad is all ready at breaking point with two injuries and if Eld abd or Butters get injuried You are looking at a return of mayo or a youth teamer at cb.

 

[Icy Gull]

Be nice to get a statement from the club either way. There are quite probably good reasons but they do have a duty to keep their paying punters informed. Or is that naive and old fashioned?

LDC application for a JDC is not a good excuse as I gather the club were expecting that anyway.

I think if that happens we will prob ask for an emergency loan. Same as if Blayney was to get injured.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Perhaps we can get an answer out of the club today? Can someone ring the club and get them to issue a statement. I would like to know what happened, considering we have been talking about players we need for goodness knows how long....

You can only do it with Keepers i thought?

 

[Stinky Kat]

if blayney gets injured they would call back FDM from Boston

 

[Locky]

The team is stetched as it is............How can we compete with the amount of players we have.

Another couple of injuries and we really are in the poo !!

 

[Les Biehn]

Even bloody Wednesday and Coventry have signed a few players. For the love of god MM please get a few faces in in January. Do it for the children.

I am under the impression that its any position, ill do a bit of research and see what i can find.

Imagine the following :

You were asked to move to another company for the same money, but instead of an office with a desk, chair, computer and coffee machine you got a shed with a deckchair and kettle.

You had to compete with all the other companies that had offices, computers etc, and if you didn't beat them all you had some complete wanker shouting 'twat' at you all the time.

What would you do ?

If I wasn't doing any work and had no chance of progression without experience, I would take the different job to fill out the CV. Doesn't look great on the CV if you list your "responsibilities" of your job and you don't do anything apart from filing or photocopying.

 

[Les Biehn]

If you know its only for a short period of time and your new collegues are nice (mostly) then a downgrading of offices can be a nice thing.

I just thought you could do it with keepers as its the only postion you cant fill with any player.

 

[Da Man Clay]

There are no more emergency loans allowed till 1st of January. So kinky we are a bit screwed if we get and injury!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

O dear, in any case the league normally only lets keepers move on emergency loans.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Because Magoo is a useless lardy jocko bufoon. He probably didnt even know there was a deadline.

Magoo OUT NOW

 

[withdeanwombat]

It is only keepers.Could we play Blayney at right back and borrow another goalie?

Presumably we didn't take loan signings because

a) People we wanted wouldn't come or were out of our price range.

b) Players do not fancy the shed and kettle career progression.

c) The management felt that those available and willing to come would not improve the squad beyond our current (meagre) ensemble.

d) I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member.(Marx).

Its a good question. I was surprised we didnt sign anyone but maybe the sudden nature of McShane's injury meant that we were caught out in the market, and all the good players had gone in his position. In which case, I'd rather McGhee saved the loan as it were for later on in the season, rather than wasting it on someone shit.

But it does seem strange to me that we didnt go in for a left back, we really could have done with someone that plays there, even just for a month or two.

Who knows why we didnt. Perhaps the money is being saved for Henderson, in which case its a good idea.
