There isn't but you named 4 decent loans and one of them was literally 20 years ago. Most of our loans don't offer very much, especially over the last few years. 

It does look like Giles and Steffen will be exceptions to that this year though, so hopefully that continues. 

some have defiantly been questionable, but can say the same about our permanent deals too.

its the ones where we don't even try with them that puzzle me, like that huddersfield winger, that american we had from man city and pulis just kept him on the bench and brought on crany instead nearly every match lol, at least with last years we at least tried to use to them and get the most out of them compared to them ones which made me think why even get them on loan in the first place lol.

And we haven't had the same if not more poor permanent signings?

I mentioned Geremi because he was great for us but as shown by forest and Sheff Utd decent loan players can make a difference now too

More JLS’s, Sporar’s, Connolly’s and Baloguns for me please. 

A guaranteed summer rebuild every 12 months. Money draining out the club on loan fees and wages.

 

Or (and stay with me on this wild suggestion)

Identify players good enough to get us promoted whether that be on loan or perm deals as they might need replacing anyway as we go up a level.

Have we put in 1 or 2 bids for Larsen? Oddly enough the manager of the football club does'nt appear to  know.☹️

The fact that one of those was 20 years ago maybe isn't the best argument for loans 

for every geremi there is a dozen nimelys.

For sure, we've used loans as winger/striker stop gaps for the past 10 years it feels like 🤣

Yes. Like every other Championship team.

For every Crooks, there is a dozen Akpom's, Uche's, Hall's.

We can go around in circles but the truth is a bad signing is a bad signing if they are a permanent or loan. So let's just get the best players we can afford for as long as we can get them, which it looks like the club is trying to do

[AllBoro10 2,235]

We going with Muniz for the striker they are finilasing? Think it must be, myself

It's not that dull, its a transfer thread where people are discussing their opinions on transfers type things.

Signings are a bit like heroin in the transfer window, people are desperate for them and once they get a hit there is excitement for a couple of hours and then it's gone and people start looking for the next one to come along.

Any form of debate on this thread other than confirmed transfers gets complained about but without it the forum would be dead as its the only place with a constant stream of posts.
