Loan with a view to buy if the player is right, absolutely......
Do you really think Poch, couple of days before a match is going to give confidence he is happy with the squad, and believe we will buy that? Really?
Could be good especially in positions we are currently weak due to injury/WC.Loans anyone? With obligation to buy?
Touch & go, due to timeline. That is message I received. I know couple of the players I think they are, and shared that privately.
Why wouldn’t we believe our manager ?Do you really think Poch, couple of days before a match is going to give confidence he is happy with the squad, and believe we will buy that? Really?

It makes sense after a couple of reads. Basically do you think Poch thinks he can go into a press conf and expect everyone to believe him if he says he's happy with the squadHercs I love you but English can’t be your first language

I thought that was loan with an option to buy not an obligation to buy? could be wrong thoughI'm pretty sure all that would do would set an agreed price with the selling club. Technically any bid could be matched by another club, a bit like what happened when we signed Toby and Southampton got the hump. So if any club come in with the same bid as our agreed future price and was the player's preferred option then we'd lose them.
We'd need to lock it in contractually that after the loan no club could match our bid.

Definitely don't think that we should be wasting money on dross just to placate the fans but Levy did say that the stadium wouldn't affect transfers.

That's my take away - with no transparency (not that I am saying we're entitled to actually know) then how can you make a clear judgement?Trouble is that because we don't really know what the transfer policy has been this window and clearly we won't find out for sure, that's what causes more frustration.
I think some money is there, but it seems from what poch said himself, and Itk's, we're only going to spend on players that improve us, and promote from within when possible, that way we won't get stuck with the likes of Jansens/GKN etc (although it confuses me why we let the likes of Bennets and Griffiths go to top teir european sides if that was the case).
I'm sure we will hear more from itk's and press in the coming weeks, but it seems we're being priced out by clubs with ridiculous prices for their players (purely speculation mind you) like Grealish and Sessengson. Whether we stump up the cash for those players is another debate really for another thread.
