Surely this thread was on everyone's Transfer Window bingo cards?

Yep. I had it, immediately above 'Ulloa spotted in Hove. Loan move?'

I just need 'Solly March to Saints' for a vertical line.

Who knows? It staggers me what kids like him earn though, if the media reports are to be believed (yes, I know).

This report suggests he's on £32k per week at Chelsea. I can't help feeling there's not a lot of incentive for young players to really get their heads down and focus when they collect that sort of salary whilst still in their teens. He's not even a first team regular!

Christ on a bike.

Why don't we just exhume van Hooijdonk and Diouf as well so we can **** the team spirit entirely.

This. Completely.

Why on earth do people fall over themselves to continually advocate employing these Gods Of Disruptiveness? Thought we'd have learnt our lesson with Leon Slacker-Best.

It's almost like Humungous Team Spirit doesn't count for anything much at all? ???

Yep. He's not played for about a year.
Jesse Lingard is exception here in terms of teen loanees going out to Champ and then back (eventually) into Prem League (and England) first team contention mind.
Are there any recent others ?

Define recent.

Harry Kane has done okay.

Villa are trying to move McCormack on, he would do nicely.

Source? If true he'd be exactly the striker we need in my opinion. I remember some shite site saying we were gonna pay £10mil for him in the Summer though :lol:m

Edit - a Twitter search suggests Wolves & Fulham interested - best source possibly 'Derby telegraph'. Wonder if Villa would let him go though, having paid so much for him...

Bruce doesn't want him apparently.

'Cos he's rubbish

Whilst you may be right, of course, the fact that he did score many goals in one championship season, suggest that he DOES have talent and might just need the right team,surroundings and careful management to get the best out of him. Might be worth a loan. know any club that fits the bill?

That passage could also have been written about Vydra. One swallow a summer does not make.
