McGill as third choice keeper then?

We not completely incompetent and there is no chance that we will lose him for nothing in 12 months time.
We will actually know his contract status and will be protected - whether that is within this loan deal with an obligation to buy, or with a club option on his contract of a further year - we are not amateurs who will only realise he is out of contract next June.
Lol.

True, we are not incompetant - but I still wonder what the deal is! And it would it would still be bad news if he did get to leave for nowt!

Another one out of the door (for a season on loan). Teddy Jenks to League 2 Crawley Town - hope this goes better for him than his difficult time at Aberdeen. TBH, thought we might have aimed a bit higher than League 2 for him - but fair enough, it's not my opinion that matters!
Good luck Teddy Jenks - knock 'em dead.

Potentially excellent young coach at Creepy in the form of Kevin Betsy. Must’ve been a consideration.

You said it yourself, perhaps the problems he encountered whilst up at Aberdeen last season put a few better places suitors off, so League 2 it will have to be.
I think the Crawley loan could work out really well for both player and club, as GG and his team will be able to keep a much better eye on what is going on, and watch him in a fair few games too.

I'm not sure I did! You may have a point about putting better teams off. I'd still have thought League 1 though.
I really don't think the distance to be travelled has much effect on the amount of care and observations GG and his team give to our players out on loan.

What problems did Teddy have at Aberdeen? Issues other than struggling to get into the team?

Sexy Pete... :D
It's a gig I'd like very much. Effectively he's a phenomenally well paid training cone!

Well that alone is probably the biggest problem of all wouldn't you say?
Well, no. He played 18 games in the League, scored twice. 24 games in total - that's fine for a 19 year old lad in his first taste of professional football. I think League 2 is probably a little low for him at this point but it's not a disaster - if Crawley play as we're expecting them to this season under the former Arsenal coach then it could prove a great move for him.

Good spot. Apologies for the Google translate deficiencies -
"Central midfielder Michał Karbownik will play in the 2nd Bundesliga. Karbownik will join the ranks of Fortuna Düsseldorf. The player will transfer from Brighton in England on an annual loan basis, "FootballScout wrote on Twitter.
Thus, Karbownik is unlikely to go to Lechia Gdańsk, which also wanted to rent it from Brighton & Hove Albion. According to Sebastian Staszewski from Interia.pl, Debreczyn, Legia Warszawa and Schalke 04 were among the clubs considering its acquisition. In each case it was about a loan.
The key factor in choosing a new team by Karbownik was the position in which a given club perceives it. The 21-year-old, who can also play in the right-back, is expected to play in the center".
.............................. and didn't we think we''d signed a left back?

Well yes, actually. Many of those games were off the bench, and he never had a real run of games in a regular position (and once the new manager came in, he was toast). Also, this quote from a Sheffield United fan (not about Jenks, but about loanees in general) is very perceptive:
"How to tell a player is on loan to Sheffield United and not actually ours...they move around into space and not stand still frozen like a statue waiting for a pass".
In a poor Aberdeen side, Jenks was very much that player - he was also the one making passes that he would have expected any decent PL2 player to be spotting and moving on to.

Lol. He’ll provide more than ‘competition’ to Ream, the veteran American won’t get a sniff of a starting place with Duffy in their team.

How soon is now?
And he won't be able to score against us..
