    You can put a word in for us mate, the two lads you loaned us did a great job.

    Nothing wrong with what Parker's doing.

    But Edmondson won't be playing in Scotland.

    I think this window will see us only sign players like we have already seen in Huffer and Stevens. Local players from non league on deals until the end of the season or local league players on loan.

    With the uncertainty of if the season will be cut short or not I can’t imagine we would sign someone on a long term deal.

    Leeds pal of mine said this morning the rumour their end is Blackpool and Wigan have logged the bids from L1. Blackpool probably after a back up to Madine, looking at their other forwards, they are more the pacey finisher types. Wigan only have Will Keane on their books as an out and out foward other than a few young lads.

    Edmondson is out of contract at the end of the season, he'd be 3rd choice in the U23s team behind two lads they paid big money for in the summer. Never know whats coming up from the U18s, he might be further down the line. Leeds probably look at this loan as the one to decide if they keep him or not.

    A 50% return isn't bad I suppose.

    The Tweet from Aberdeen last night suggests he won't be staying there - so best to ignore Simon Parker's suggestion Aberdeen are in pole position - he'll have wrote his article in the afternoon before the Tweet?

    Their Tweet says he has returned to Leeds at the end of his loan spell and "everyone at Pittodrie would like to thank Ryan for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future"

    If we say to him you'll get first team football here and you'll be close to home I think he'd come here. Would we be able to pay him on top of his parents club wages?

    And what if he plays the first few games and is rubbish? Do we have to keep playing his as that was promised on joining?

    Yes we can try and sell the club to him and yes we can try and convince him that he'll be an important member of the squad but I'm not sure we should be promising anyone first team football as a given.

    No one should be promised first team football. No one. You earn and keep your first team place based on performance. You can set expectation with players that if they play to their ability and perform, you expect them to be a first choice pick.

    Novak starts on merit for me, he’s scored the goals to justify it. Edmundson or whoever else should have to wait their turn unless we go 2 up front

    What will be interesting, is to see whether T&S have chosen a 4231 system because that's what they favour, or because its whats best with what we've got. Novak is the only half decent striker we have, but maybe T&S would be more inclined to go with 2 strikers more regularly if we had the talent available.

    Fair but then there's nothing much to entice him here is there?

    5 loans in a matchday squad. You can loan up to 4 players from one team, however only 2 are allowed to be over the age of 23.

    Interesting how T&S found a formation that works and Stuart didn’t, but that’s water under the bridge now. If they stick with this formation you’d probably play with the second striker as part of the 3 behind.
