Loan Watch 2023/2024

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

We must have at least £100m worth of players out on loan. Fantastic work from Shi/recruitment team/whoever to waste so much and then leave us with a tiny squad and (apparently) no money to strengthen.

As much as I hate some of these players, I think I’d even take some sort of input from Podence or Guedes in the first team at the moment.

 

[The Bear]

We'd definitely be using Podence for sure.

Podence definitely, Guedes would likely be worse than the kids, at least they give a shit. As much as he's not good enough Fabio would be playing most games atm but we sent him and Sasa out.
You do wonder if Gaz mini rant the other day comes down to him being told a striker was coming in before we sent them both out, only to have the plug pulled last moment.

You'd have to way up the onfield benefit with the shitty attitude and the damage that would have on the squad. Podence rejected the opportunity to go on the pre season training tour and Guedes hated it here from Day 1. Even now I think we are best off without them taking the full situation into account.

 

[Lycan]

Guedes has been playing well for Villarreal. He clearly has enough about him to be a decent player for a mid table La Liga side when he wants to be. That's the problem though, he doesn't want to be here.

Podence I actually think O'Neil would really like and get quite a lot out of. There's no way back there either though. If Olympiakos don't sign him someone else will.

 

[Loki]

No matter how much one dislikes him, Podence would have made a difference last few games.

Silva starting LW against Celtic

Looks like a lost little boy again. An U10s lad picked to play in an U15s game.

 

[big mean bunny]

Just had his second spell of rolling around trying to get someone sent off.

You are selling him short, it was his 3rd

 

[Lycan]

He's embarrassing himself

 

[big mean bunny]

Just missed their best chance they've made. Looked decent keeper although will update when they show a replay.

Update: think it's harsh from Sutton saying "he must score." - it was a miss control from a team mate that brings it to him and he is alert and hit it well.

Still, you'd not want to pay more than about 2.5million for him based on his showing since being at Rangers, well done Wolves...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hart did ok but shouldn't have been given a chance. No composure and he just hit it right at him (twice).

 

[Alan]

Moreso than usual?

 

[Lycan]

Moreso than usual?

Spent most of the game rolling around on his back. Wouldn't be surprised if he got hooked at HT.

 

[Jinky]

He’s not quick enough to play out wide and he’s not strong enough to play through the middle.

Can be prolific against Azerbaijan under 21’s, though.

Tongue in cheek, better odds of Christ Himself appearing on the pitch in Glasgow and telling all the zealots to get fucked than of Fabio ever making us go “huh, he’s improved”.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Silva going off apparently "he's been really, really poor and some of his antics have been a disgrace to be quite honest".

If you perform badly in an Old Form game you rarely get forgiven.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Nope Silva given 15 mins to redeem himself most probably.

Totally agree with this - shambles from the recruitment team.

Guedes is an absolutely undeniably better shout than Nathan Fraser as a central forward and Daniel Podence absolutely has to be better than Tommy Doyle as a false nine.

There aren’t many teams in PL history who don’t have a fit central striker with 8 games to go, let alone a side that - until last week - were pushing for Europe.

Just wish Fosun gave as much of a shit as we do.
