Ryan Kent

[Juan Albion]

Could he be the new Tex?

Attacking midfielder from Liverpool, but only 18 years old.

I wondered whether we could be one of the interested clubs, but at just 18 years old it seems unlikely

Surely Harper would be a better idea?

^This... unless the player is significantly better than we have, we should give our own youth a chance.

 

[Albumen]

Gaaaah!

Please no loans this season.

If he was fit I would 100% agree but he's going to be out for a few weeks yet. A half season loan of "an AM" with Harper taking over if/when ready surely isn't out of the question? No idea if it will be Kent though (or who, if anyone).

Please no loans this season.

Likely to be at least one Tex-type loan I think.

Please no loans this season.

Why no loans ? if used properly they can be an effective tool to help the squad

 

[Super Steve Earle]

It didn't work out very well last time we signed a player whose first name was Ryan. Anyway, this year we need more men rather than boys.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

No to Kent. Yes to Sussex.

I'm not a fan of loan players unless they are trying to secure a contract. The reasons are do they put their body on the line for the club? do they really care if we win or lose? Derby turned to loans last season we all know what happened there, ourselves were not very good fielding half a team of loan players. Each to their own I guess.

Why not ?

Wolves seem to be 'loan central' at the moment. Are they going down ?

We are supposedly wanting 5 new players, and it would be astounding if all 5 were permanent deals.

Nothing wrong with a decent season loan ( Bridge, Ward, Tex etc. )

Our squad is skewed towards older, slower men. I'm up for having a few younger, rapid boys.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Indeed he would.

No point in signing him on a 2 year deal if he spends a year kicking about in the Dev Squad because some young loanee has blocked his path.

He'd be off asap.

We are supposedly wanting 5 new players,.............

FIVE....

I reckon 3 max..... 1x experienced winger......1 maybe 2 centre halves if Dunk goes.

5 is what has been indicated in the Naylor / Zamora thread on NSC.

I was expecting 3 which would be 2 wingers and a centre back.

Exactly how I feel.

Bridge and Ward worked as they were effectively playing for their careers.

Felt all the others have been average or worse.

In terms of getting another youngster in, I'd prefer to see what Harper is like. If we are 'blooding' other teams youngsters, doesn't that send out the wrong message to our own?

Each day the additional 1 or 2 wingers are becoming key.

The other positions we may be able to muddle through.

Well said. Some loans are good, but we definitely over-did it last season... Leon Best, anyone?
