    Spot on, as well as the situation doesn't allow rotation within the squad, thus players being over depended on not getting rested and in some cases being almost burned out.

    Agreed. I'm more than happy with the signings we've made.

    We need signings for the long-term future, but we are in a situation where we need to think about the short-term too. Our squad has been completely demolished by injuries and it is only fair to our current players that extra, quality man power is brougt in to support and relieve. However, we are still facing restraints due to FFP. Therefore, loan deals can and will make sense. Phillips is a good bet. There are many other candidates though. Here's hoping we will bring in some quality players to help us out in our current situation.

    We need top drawer signings or short term loan signings without any obligation to buy.

    No point in filling up the squad with more mediocre players.

    This season is over. We need players that can help us challenge for top 4 next season.

    The seasons not over, but yes we need quality signings either loan or permanent, for both the now,and next season. I would be happy with Phillips on loan but not to buy, he would help Bruno out in midfield and he needs help!

    I agree, get him in on loan,only. The money quoted was £7 million for the loan deal ffs for 4 mths work!
