ewerk 30221 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Him Bamford and Ince were past examples of championship clubs making decent loan signings. Â Trot on. Â Also worth noting that none of those players actually won promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1219 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 CT would you have been happier if we'd signed Hayden on loan? He seems to be exactly the type of player you were initially suggesting, young talent from a top side. Or is the fact that we managed to sign him permanently making you think he's not really good enough so we should have signed someone the likes of Arsenal would only let us have on loan?

PaddockLad 17063 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 ????? I'm very happy if we can buy all the players we need to get promoted and who can stay in the prem. If we can't attract the right quality because of our position, I'm quite happy for Rafa to loan the talent that's not getting a game at the big clubs to get us up. As I say, like Bamford to Boro. As I tried to allude to before, Bamford didn't get Boro promoted and I saw him look lost v AFCB in a crunch promotion game last April, he and Boro couldn't handle a pre promotion Bournemouth. So someone looking at things objectively would say he did ok but couldn't cut it when it counted. He's since played 6 prem lge games for Palace and 7 for Norwich. He's still Chelsea's player though. So, who has his total of 5 different loan deals to various championship and mediocre premier league sides benefitted most? The clubs? Chelsea? The player himself? Iyam loans are pretty much a waste of time for players and clubs. Rafa might bring one or two in but it doesn't look like it at the moment. Seeing as he's actually signing young decent talent on real contracts perhaps means he's thinking along the same lines. I certainly hope so.

Ayatollah Hermione 13766 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 CT is banging on about getting quality players when he's full well admitted he doesn't watch football.

No, I'm happy to buy as much young talent as Rafa sees fit. However, I'm also aware that because we are in the championship it may be that we can't tempt a few of Rafas 1st or 2nd choices to sign. Â In that scenario I would like to think that Rafa can tap up a few of the big clubs and get a loan deal or two. Â IE: on the striker front. I would still love to see a better striker than what we have so far come in. Ideally we buy him, but if that proves problematic I would welcome a decent loanee. Â I honestly can't see anything bizarre with that train of thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4172 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I mean, you just admitted to not knowing players at other clubs, so who in your opinion could we feasibly buy or loan that is better than what we have? Â And before you say that's Rafas job, if he wanted "better" he would go get it. If he doesn't then he is obviously happy with what we have, no? Â fwiw I have seen a lot of Bamford for boro, he is very average, all of our forward are better than him. He scored a decent amount of goals because boro were one of the best teams in the league and he played 50modd games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21797 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Classic CT contrariness. The one transfer window for a while when there's genuine excitement, despite the fact we were relegated, that we finally have a quality manager who Ashley is backing and he doesn't fancy his signings.
