3mps Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 George Swan, ex-Man City CB we had on loan in dev squad last year, has signed for Wolves. Spoke to him a couple of weeks back, seems a decent lad, there was also quite a bit of interest in him from other clubs not so far away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Owen Garvan signs for Bolton on 3 month loan. Good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Interesting comments from Gray in the Telegraph regarding the general fitness of loan players. Most arrive lacking fitness and shouldn't be starting matches, but perhaps need minutes off the bench to bring them up to speed. I would say this is true of most loans and really brings into question, why have we left it until the emergency loan window. The two loan signings we have made are very different. Royston Drenthe is clearly not match fit, and will probably take some time to get there, while young Hallam Hope looks ready in terms of fitness, but the championship is a big step up from Bury. Both will need time, but the beauty is, we don't only have them for a month. Is it still possible to sign players on loan for longer than the one month duration?

Guest timrud Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yep, up to 93 days. So the wise move is wait until the 93 days takes us to the Jan window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Not a loan but, Millwall are thinking of taking on board free agent Matthew Etherington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I wanted Etherington pre-Drenthe, but now I think we should probably wait and see how Royston does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have we left til the emergency window? From what I can see, we now have enough players and options for every position. So the only loans I expect us to sign will be real quality ones that are too good to ignore. Absolutely no need for panic signings. First time in ages we've been in this position.

Totally agree, best we've been for ages. The manager has said he wants another forward, and in my opinion, we probably need a bit of quality in midfield. No panic signings, just bring players in if they can upgrade on the quality we have, and hopefully on a ninety day loan in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's better quality available in the loan window as clubs aren't willing to let players go until they know what they've got to work with. Be great if we could land a striker and midfielder, but not a necessity right now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yep, up to 93 days. So the wise move is wait until the 93 days takes us to the Jan window This is key for me. I was unaware that it could be anything other than a one month loan in this period, of little use when you are taking someone you need to get up to speed. However, 93 days makes sense, and as we are pretty much OK, we perhaps should wait until October so it would take us to January, and cover the busy Christmas period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Exactly, we don't want to get somebody in then run out of time with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 What about that Sylvan Ebanks-Blake chap. A free agent at 28 and scored at this level. Is it his injury record that is putting off teams from signing him? I know he had a trail with Ipswich and they did not sign him. Maybe he could have a trial with us? Not sure of his wage demands but surely he's going to have to take a cut or he'll end up like Koumas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Dunno about that. Both Pearson and player seem adamant he's not going anywhere at the moment. Thing is, I'd have liked us to move for Aluko. Sagbo heading out could make that even less of a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Gray was talking yesterday about he thought he had a striker in but the striker got injured and could be out for while. I'm guessing it's probably Premiership so anyone know of any strikers who have just picked up a long term injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
