Shrewsbury got 3rd using loans. Why shouldn't we ? If we can pick up someone as good as Beneke Afobe was at the dogs we'll all be happy

 

We probably got Seedorth because of our promise to develop young players hope we get Guy as well

 

Until I see his mug on the VP pitch then I won't believe it

 

If he’s half as good as Clarence he’ll do for me!

 

Here’s seems to be a few statements here that make it sound like it’s nailed on.
This one is still a rumour isn’t it ?

 

I get your point. Perhaps getting one in on a perm deal has been harder than other positions so we've taken the chance when we had it? Guess we'll only know when we see the full squad!

 

Aye, don't think it's been confirmed by City.

 

.. the cross-eyed lion?

 

We really need Jesus son of god to turn our water to wine..

 

Yer but none of them were Clarence Seedorf!

 

Lol fair point it' been that long since I've taken an interest that high up I've forgotten what it' called!

Or maybe everyone should take up daytime drinking and bask in the glory! Honestly I think these signings are exciting for a league one club rather than the usual journeyman type players these are hungry with things to prove but we'll see!

Well it is all about choice but a lot on here are choosing to be overly negative so could do with seeing another side for a bit - give it a go if they don' like go back to the grumpy ways!

 

See what they do this year. A few years ago, Hereford got promoted using loans. That worked out just great.

 

Edin's never said that we won't use the loan market but that we don't want to be reliant on it like we have been in previous years and we want to be able to use players from the development squad to cover injuries rather than using loans. He also said that at the forum that we wouldn't take any players on loan with the guarantee that they would play, they'd have to fight for their place like any other player.

 

Exactly my take on it. The loan system will not be overlooked, just not relied upon. If you look at the signings so far then they are entirely consistent with their model

 

Sounds good in theory, but the development squad players have to be good enough, in case they're needed. Otherwise we're up shit creek, just as we found last season, with Hanson, Barr, Pybus, Grodowski getting game time when not good enough.

 

There is always a risk with any signing granted and the same applies to the development squad. However, the benefit of the development squad is we will closely monitor their progress and - at least it is my understanding - will play the same system as the first team. This should make the transition easier when they are ready. Loans should be seen as an opportunity to add depth and quality to the squad with players who would normally be out of our reach if we were trying to bring them in permanent.

 

Depends what day you talk to them Bigrod.
