khay Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Maybe not that short term. But I don’t think we are above a short term loan due to our new player getting suspended and mounting injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 If we’re doing something in January it will be a player we have scouted for months and have big plans for, not a short term signing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I disagree lad it's come out of the blue this tonali scenario. We will be like blue arse flies looking for a short term replacement to fill in the hole he's left.

Astroblack Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Short term fixes should never be looked down upon. We did them really well in the 09-10 season - Harewood, Best, Van Aanholt, Williamson, Routledge. Chelsea used to do them all the time - Anelka, Beletti. Man U getting Weghorst last year, them getting Henrik Larsson. Even way back, Klinsman to Spurs pretty much saved them from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up with a cup and finishing 3rd. If you can get the right one even if they only player a handful we definitely need to be looking at that sort of signing as an option.

Expand It’s more his lack of fitness, he barely plays and would take a while to get up to where Howe would need him. Of course if it was just a straight loan then it would be a no brainer.

It's not like they have to charge all over the gaff. Just fill the space between Schar and Bruno. In my simple heed. Might have to alter the way we play, a tad, but would allow Bruno and 1 other to have more licence. Edited October 27, 2023 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
