Even if he's got a white stick and a labrador he's gotta be better than what we had for most of last season.

looking like we are betting heavily on loans.

not sure about this one as BPF was pretty solid and signed.

Great another loan so we can finish mid table but raise his value for his parent club when they sell him on.

Does that matter?

We have a GK (so we believe), who will provide competition for BPF, good thing.

Everyone bangs on about needing another 5 - 6 ,new signings, are you all delusional? We can't go back to a 25 - 30 man squad, even if we have loaned out some of the stuff that accumulated last season, nor should we.

If what has been said of Bielsa is true, he will want to work a small squad hard. We have the makings of that (I've said on other threads we have the names), and if we need to get loans in to help make sure our permanent players get the TEMPORARY support they need (as in the case of BPF, who should have the No. 1 shirt by right), so much the better as the loans can f00k off back where they came from when they are no longer needed (isn't that what loans should be, temporary and used and disposed of?).

Good addition. Still woefully short of a team to challenge top six though imo. At least the new GK will have to earn his salary. Or should that be bonus...

We were told (by whom I forget for the moment *too much mucky beer*) that we were letting 15 fringe players go/leave/loan out and bringing in 4/5 quality players in.

Well I see the 1st part of the job is on course but seeing jack sh1t of the other!

Either gonna be very busy next 3 weeks or we have had our pants down again!


Keep the faith

By all accounts lash he is a very good keeper..mate of mine is a blade and he was impressed with his all round game.

One things for sure he will get tested with us!
