9 Games Left - Loan Striker?
- Thread starter StonehamPark
- Start date
I'm sure we've learnt from losing our reserve left back in the first game after a transfer window had just shut.

Have we that is the question? That is going to come back and haunt us I fear.

I'm not confident we have TBH.. and the dullards on here seem to think it is OK to wing it, which isn't great IMHO...

Be interesting to see if GM is in Bournemouth squad at Tottenham tomorrow if not perhaps an approach before Thursday.

Baldock hamstring injury I think? If it's a bad one, wonder if CH will get a loan in........

Calderwood said after the game it was precautionary and not too bad. With two weeks till the next game hopefully ok.
Whys the left back issue going to come back and haunt us BG. We seem to be getting on ok

I spoke to Baldock after the game as he was signing autographs before boarding the team coach.
He said he felt something slight so they thought it best to change.

And that kinda changed the game

Just to reiterate my opinion on this subject: No, no, no, no, no. The team spirit we have right now is too good to risk bringing in a disinterested, highly paid loan player for 8 games, injuries notwithstanding.

We are doing really well and could make the automatic place but we cant get back the points we lost as a result of that issue. Had we sorted it as soon as Bong was injured we would probably be now still top by some number of points with promotion virtually guaranteed.

So, if there is an injury, be that Bobby, Sam B, Tomer H or James W, then you would welcome a loan signing, is that right? Because there is a clear chance that at least 1 of them might get injured (I very much hope not).
The financial upside of reaching the Prem is enormous (minimum £100M+), the downside is a packet of crisps and a curly-wurly in comparison, and how do you know any loan signing will be 'disinterested'?

I have to agree BG, but the dullards still don't get it, it seems...

With a gain of £100m to £178m at stake for promotion it is a no brainer. If CH thinks we may need and wants a striker to help achieve this to cover inures etc then there is only 1 answer between now and Thursday. Bring him in whoever it is.

It's all about numbers and options for me. Do we have enough options ... Yes. Could we do with another body to cover possible injuries / suspensions ... Possibly

We need to cover BZ Wilson Hemed and Baldock against injuries especially with BZ currently injured and Baldock going off as a precaution. To me it is a most obvious move.

We did sort the problem as soon as Bong got injured: Liam Rosenior. We wouldn't have got a LB better than him on loan. It was just mega unlucky that he got a 12 week injury days after the window closed.

We have 4 strikers (plus Murphy and Skalak) fighting for 2 positions; the cover is already there. It would only be worth bringing someone in if they're better than what we have and walk into the starting 11, and that would risk upsetting what is an obviously great team spirit.
