Lots of loan deals are sorted between now and the end of the window especially by the prem teams because they begin to settle on their squads, have to name them for most comps and young players especially move on loan near the end of the window if they want first team football and won't be getting it with their parent club.

This is a tough league and Tex is not a tough player. He will need to go down to League 1 to get real game time. We were desperate last season, but we are not going there this are we ? BZ is here because of his nous.

He was very inconsistent last season and had a real influence in very few matches , time to move on

I'd be happy to have Tex back on loan, quality player who gives us attacking options and scores goals. Maybe it will be a loan 'til xmas rather than the whole season ???

How many matches did he have "real influence" in.
Who else in our team had "real influence" in more games than him.
The inconsistent epithet could equally be applied to KLL, March and Buckley before them.

If we stay 4-4-2 . Where would you play him ?

Good player but can't see a part for him in current system . Wingers far more important

I suppose you could play him in the free role Gus played Elliott Bennett in during the 2010-2011 season, where he drifted between playing behind Barnes and Murray to sometimes being on the right wing. Alternatively, if Baldock is injured, suspended or out of form, he could tuck in behind Hemed in a 4-4-1-1 system, which I suppose Hughton might use in away games anyway.
 




Cheshire Cat

The most curious thing..
There was an article in the Liverpool Echo recently (which I can't find) that said he wanted to cement a place in the Liverpool first team squad this season - it is a "make or break" year with them. So he won't be wanting to leave on loan again.

I'd suggest he could play in a 442 among either wing or as the second striker / deeper striker type role. Would love him back...
Totally this. He might not be a big strong boy who will rampage from box to box on his own, but he is the sort of player who will get better and better playing in a better team - and I think we are a better team than we were this time last year. Class. We can't afford to buy him; get him in on loan.
And don't give me that crap about loanees being no good. The loan system allows us, and clubs like us, see players playing for us that we could never afford to buy. Which bit of win-win is the problem?

A season long loan isn't much different from a perm signing really, given many players only last a year at clubs!

You didn't think we played well with 442 Friday?!

You're forgetting the well known and incontrovertible fact that 4-4-2 is exclusively about hoofball, Sam Allardyce, dinosaurs, mullets, the 1970s and the land that time forgot before Sky invented football in 1990 whatever-it-was, and total anathema to the tippy tappyists (and most Spaniards).

Can't have that sort of stuff hanging around in this modern day and age. 4-4-2? - geez, some people will be wanting to bring back the black and white minstrel show next!

True, if Hemed turns out as good as Ulloa, or Harper turns out to be the gem many people hope he'll be, we'll have them for about 12 months, I guess.

Would be a great signing. As others have said we won't play 4-4-2 every game, we'll have injuries and suspensions so we need strength in depth.

Tex is stardust. Get him back.

Although 442 with 2 fast, ace wingers is my preference, we need flexibility and options for different approaches.

We had nothing on the bench on Friday that was going to change the game for the positive if we'd been on nil down. Tex would offer that coming off the bench, but wouldn't fit into our current staring 11
No? I'd put him in ahead of LuaLua, March or Baldock (in their respective positions) any day.
