SeeBass Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Can I ask what is it with all the loan signings this season? Who was the last person to join us on these type of terms? I can`t remember having one guy on loan never mind three in the same campaign in my 17 years as a Dandy. I`m not doubting Maybury, Walker or Aluko are worth their places at the club but does this reflect the way we ight go in the future for new captures? You know quantity not quality? SeeBass Quote
Sharpie Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 You dinna mind the Budgie or Officer Dibble? The loan signings are down to Calderwood's skill in the transfer market, or rather lack of. Quote
BigAl Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Alex Notman..... actually come to think of it, you'd do well to remember him, as we never played him... Alex di Rocco was also a loan signing Quote
Wayneo Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Alex Notman..... actually come to think of it, you'd do well to remember him, as we never played him... Alex di Rocco was also a loan signing Alex Di Rocco what a player he was, personal opinion like Quote
Reekie_Red Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Fuckin hate loan signings. If they're shite, we tend to sign them. If they're any good for us we get told by the owner club that the player is a "valuable part of the future of the club" and we cannae sign him ... either that or friggin Preston offer sixteen times the wages that we can.

manc_don Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I don't think we've had a decent loan signing since Di Rocco. But still, they freshen up the squad, possibly put people on their toes (current team aside as nothing seems to be able to do that). Quote

SeeBass Maybury, Walker and Aluko all had great games last night. Maybury we might be able to get on a permanent deal. Walker we might be able to extend his loan into next season. Aluko's probably raised his profile too much and I would be amazed if he were still here beyond the end of the season. Quote
BigAl Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Is Maybury not an actual signing until the end of the season rather than a loan deal Quote
oldred Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 I think Free & Loan players to the club have caused all the unrest & disputes about wages,players on free.s can negotiate a better weekly wage if no trasfer fee is paid to previous club ,Hart & Clarkie couldna accept this and left.and i think more will be going come May .

It wouldnt surprise me if McLeish recalled him today, given he was at the game yesterday! Quote

Alternatively, the Birmingham/Boro might decide that a another full season (hopefully playing in european competition) will aid their development... these sorts of players tend to go two ways - they either make it big at their respective clubs or the loan ends and they get sold. Here's hoping that they or similar are at AFC next season :fingerscrossed: Quote

BigAl Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Look Barry, just sign yer feckin contract and stop yer whining! I was really hoping that they would announce that either Nicholson / Miller or both had signed new deals just ahead of kick off last night, to give abody a boost Quote

Reekie_Red Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Whenever I hear about loan signings ... all I can think of is Tony Warner. The most useless goalie we've ever had. I think even Soutar is better than he was! Quote
