Roko Simic - potential signing

Excited by this one.

While Clarke is Premier League quality and worth 20th goals, you’d have to think actually having a functioning striker is worth fifteen of them?

Most teams add loans to build up their squad, which is fair enough. We're looking at loans for the first team because our recent recruitment history means that our own players aren't good enough.

they'll need replacing again come next season.

Loaning squad fillers is a waste. Reduces opportunities for our own developing players but 2 or 3 serious first team contenders on loan is fine. Most recent promotion contenders have relied on them far more heavily than us.

Proper sweating over this one.... think it could be one of the most significant transfers we've had in a long time if it comes off.

Have watched a fair amount of Salzburg, whilst Simic can be a little clumsy on the ball at times (difficult to with his size) he's got all the attributes and potential to be a huge success with us. He's one I've followed pretty closely for a few years and never thought we'd be in the mix for! Wouldn't mind adding a couple more from Salzburg in the future....their current attackers are going to develop into something special.

Thanks for that mate, let's hope he signs. How come you've been watching Salzburg, do you live over there?

Why the fuck have you watched a lot of RB Salzburg? 😂

It’s absolute drivel. Nearly every successful club to get up recent years has used loans. Burnley, Sheffield United, Ipswich, Southampton. He’s talking nonsense.

This is true.

It did come back to bite some of those teams a little bit when they did get promoted though. Which is why the option-to-buy is good (although if the player has a really, really good season, they could be snapped up elsewhere).

Maatsen & Tella were 2 of Burnley's best players when they won the league; one ended playing in the Champions League final, the other in the Europa League final (and winning the Bundesliga undefeated).

Forest did survive but signed something like 20 players because they had to replace almost their entire team.

In fairness to Ipswich, they signed the loan player who was the most use to them.
