Two loan outgoings don't make much sense, they free up squad places for 5 months, but we will encounter the same registration/HG issues in the summer when they return (unless obligation to buy is inserted in loan clause)

All loan deals do now is lessen our wage bill and reduce the number of players available to us.

PS. I know Janssen is surplus to Poch requirements, but a loan deal makes no sense without obligation to buy

The only thing these loan deals will do is give these guys a chance to play. We will hope they do well so they are more ‘sellable’ in the summer. Maybe even add a million or two.

Right now can’t see why anyone would pay for players so out of favour, with only reserve football game time.

Good for them and good to get them away from the rest also maybe

We ain’t gonna sign anyone. As much I still hope for a vdv signing again. I think that was a one off that fell onto our lap. 9 times out of 10 it’s more just more disappointment and emptiness

I'm not bothered that we haven't bought a player just to keep fans happy. I am more bothered that we wasted so much money buying players like Llorente, N'Jie, Nkoudou, Janssen, Aurier, Wimmer, Fazio, Yedlin a combined total of £93million. I know when you sign a player its a huge gamble on whether they will be able to perform as required, but I actually believe we are only one big quality £50m plus player away from being a complete team. I personally think if we can get Isco rumoured a few days back and/or TImo Werner another rumoured target this will solve a few problems. TW will pick up Kane and Sons Slack and Isco will potentially fill the expected empty shoes left behind by Eriksen (who on view of last night cant even take a corner properly at the moment!

Sorry, but for all those you've named above we have had players that cost around the same amount of money that have been an absolute success. If our modus operandi is this then you have to accept both sides of the coin. Sorry to derail.

Not like Llorente scored the winner last night, or GKN assisted for the winner v Fulham, is it?

How much did we get back for these (highlighted) I dont think we wasted as much as you think.
