Transfer rumour thread 20/21

Why? Get 10 or so games until January. Or sit on the bench and get 200 minutes between now and January

The boy was deemed not good enough for us as a Championship club when on trial previously. Then we go and sign him as a Premiership club and are told he is 'Premiership ready'. Next thing we know he's on loan to Forfar. Its a strange one to say the very least. Would've preferred we signed someone to fight for a place in the first team. That's what we need right now. Maybe rumours of MM being pissed off true after all.

But if Butcher, Harkes, Fuchs and Powers are ahead of him, or at least competing with him, is it not best he gets some competitive game time instead of sitting on the bench getting the occasional 10 minutes? He is still training with us every day

The problem is not him and his development or game time, its that we needed players NOW, every single penny should have been spent on that first team to ensure the short term future of us in the premier, not boys who need development when we already have an academy full of them and boys like Mochrie and Glass in the same role.

Why sign the guy in the in the first place then if he has 4 players already in front of him? If we think the likes of Forfar are going to improve him he cant be very good, certainly not 'Premiership ready' like we were told.

Here's my take. Asghar wanted to sign him when Neilson was in charge. Neilson said no. Asghar then wanted to sign him once Neilson left. MM either feels slightly pressured into signing an Asghar player, or is desperate because he knows we aren't going to sign many players in this window and reluctantly agrees. He then tells the fans the boy is Premiership ready to keep us happy, when he himself knows fine well the boys nowhere near being ready for the Premiership.

We're then told MM is pissed off at certain aspects of our transfer policy. Two days later the player he told Utd fans was ready for the Premiership is off to Forfar on loan. Bizarre if you ask me.

Spot on.

No doubt we need players now for the first team, but I’d be alarmed if we weren’t looking to the future also, and don’t see why the two strategies can’t run side by side.

Correct - as long a we have a strategy - not Csaba's old tombola.
