He's an excellent player who would undoubtedly play a big part in our campaign (hopefully helping to achieve our target of finishing in the top 10). Anybody who claims to have a problem with this is obviously a mag wum, and there is no point in trying to argue with them.
 
If this was MoN frantically scraping around looking for players, key ones at that, there would be hell on.

The whole idea of this new regime was to put and end to this sort of nonsense.
But it's blatantly obvious they've tried to sign a left back (about 10 of the fuckers) this time so if we can't get one I'd much rather loan a decent player than buy shite.
 
I seem to remember that as well. So there was a plan there, for whatever reason it didn't come off. Under previous regimes the white flag would have been out and we'd have been making do. Instead we're still actively pursuing players, perhaps not permanently granted, but trying nontheless. I fail to see what the big problem is in this - doing something - compared to previous methods - it's him or nobody - tbh, it really baffles me.
It's been annoying to say the least but we've tried, I wonder how many players Di Fanti has spoke to this summer?
 
Pepe and MON. f***ing loves the complete failure.
And we are off, the reference was due to the new scouting and recruitment team that this place has fapped itself silly over all summer.
Still two days to go and they might pull somebody out of the hat, but they will have to be buckshee.
 
quality though? yes.

these players were given time to show their quality - Fletcher started scoring in September, Johnson over the course of the season and Rose over time. Who is to say other than you Salem Steet and Crook Mackem that , Giaccherini, Altidore and Celustka won't have the same impact this year.
 
I thought you'd be knocking around having a go.
im not going to mock the club, or make ''i told you so threads '' like a few on here will do if we don't get these certain positions filled. but i do pay to watch safc, and have done for many years, so ill have my opinion thanks.

Because the above have spoken.
 
Ive not been impressed with him, however the lad has barely been given a shot at utd, another loan like that would be three of our starting elven made up with loans if not more come the close of the window. Nowt learned from bruces time here were we loaded up with loans they all went back and we struggled to replace them.
It's better than no left back !! Plus Celustka is essentially on trial, as we have a clause to buy, and Ki is on the last 12 months of his contract at the end of the loan term. Class business IMHO.

eh? im not saying those particular players won't? i never even mentioned them, but they do look promising.
 
Loans obviously aren't good in the long term but it likes lile we've ran out of options and time here
Agreed, could you imagine how happy this place would be if we had Rose signed and a centre midfield at the beginning of the window. I'd rather we brought some decent loans in and finished away from the relegation zone maybe top 10 then finishing a battle at the end o the season and if Ki and Buttner are the reason for the former then I'll be happy.
 
Must had some sort of reassurances that this is a goer after not going for the French lad Mbengue, who was supposedly desperate to play in England, and yesterday signed for Rennes.

I like Buttner, he wants to play week in week out as its a World Cup year. He's about 24 which was a bit of a surprise. If he has a good year here, he may feel its time to move on from United if they still have Evra, Fabio and probably Baines.

At this point in time, willing to accept a loan rather than being exposed...not ideal, but given the options it's a no brainer.

No ki isn't, he signed a four year contract when he signed for them past season.

You are entitled to it mate would never deny a man his opinion but just be happy for once.
