Bassong on loan to Wolves, Pards was at Spuds I would have taken Bassong on loan in an instabt.

 

No brainer of a deal.  Little risk apart from wages.

Not a chance in hell we'd ever be back in for Bassong. He left on very bad terms with the board and some of our current players according to his girlfriend at the time (who one of my best friends knows quite well).

 

They should be thankful he left. Got us some $$$$$ to soften the relegation blow.

I'm not too fussed about missing out on Mariappa per se, however going into the second half of the season without a third centre half is a massive gamble.

nailed it.

 

Agreed

Ridiculous to gamble a good season for the sake of a couple of million. Everton and Stoke are just 6 points behind, they made up at least double that when Taylor got injured.

Don't understand why we weren't looking at loans like, gambling our entire season on the health of Colo and Williamson is crazy. Not gutted that we missed out on Mariappa as I know nothing about him, but we needed someone. If there are bigger and better targets earmarked for the summer then great, still no excuse for not getting someone on loan in the meantime though.

 

Colo going down would be a complete and utter disaster, at least with him there alongside Perch/Kadar we'd have some semblence of a chance of keeping it together.

agree. dont know much about mbiwa...but from what people says it sounds like he would be an ideal signing thinking of the positions he could cover in an thin defence.

Those who are saying "I can see why we wouldn't want to waste £2m" do you not think we could get that back? We could still very realistically sign a quality centre back in the summer and sell the least effective for around the price we signed Mariappa at.

 

It's also based on the assertion that once Saylor is fit that Mariappa would drop down the pecking order. As fantastic as Saylor was for the first half of the season he clearly has fitness issues and is seemingly only ever a few games away from months on the sidelines.

 

Astonishing we haven't brought in any cover.
