Good point. Maybe we should be thinking about one or two short-term loans at this stage. Gives both player and club to see if they suit each other. See if they can stay fit for a start!!

We are in a decent position in this transfer window in that we can probably continue 'as is' and achieve our goal for the season. We can justify a couple of 'decent' loans in if we can offload Sow. But I think that (i.e. offloading Sow) may not be that easy as I I'm led to believe he's on a decent wage at Utd.

At the end of the day, if United 'keep their powder dry' until summer and see what we need then in terms of 'incoming' players you can't argue with that.

We are currently on course for the title. We have a great support for a championship team (there are plenty of clubs in the top tier that would love to have what we have) The team appear to be United with each other and with the support too.

Anyway, to sum up, I agree about not signing any more players based on what they have done in the past. Get them in on loan, see what they are made of and, if they prove themselves, then sign them.
