If you can't get the ones you want, it makes sense to get a stop gap until you get the deal done for the one you want. Ki and Buttner, for example, buy us time to investigate potentially better targets we may be able to get next year - someone in the last year of their contract who's too expensive now, a better look around the lower divisions etc. I'm certain we could have filled the squad with cheap Italians if we'd wanted to, but would that have worked?

It's also the first window for this lot, so it's not the same as always, there's no history to pin on them.

'just pay out some cash' - we all wish it was that simple.

Yes we should just buy anyone then those so called fans on here who are saying shell out the cash will be along if it doesn't work to tell us these players are plodders, shite and have large egos. I'm not keen on loan signings and I agree with the sentiment that we should have bought a left back but for different reasons including one asking for more money when he'd agreed to sign, we haven't .
 
Buttner is good going forward but defensively he can be suspect.

Great attitude too and a very good athelete.


United may even sell him for 2/3 million or something like that if they get Baines. Fabio is there too and don't think Evra is moving this late.
 
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.
We had a deal agreed with Orban but he came back and asked for more money so we pulled it.

Who? The Juve left back?
 
eh? im not saying those particular players won't? i never even mentioned them, but they do look promising.

Please explain your comment then, perhaps the problem is that you start from such a negative spot most of the time that I've misread what your actually saying.
 
I don't think it's as simple as that. Agents fees etc mean that a player coming in and one going out for the same fee still cost us money
Still don't think it's £30m.

It was leaked out by the club in preparation for no more spend.
 
If we get him on loan we won't sign him permanently IMO. However it gives us a very good lb until we can go at it again either in jan or next summer

It's not like we haven't tried this summer, the players we tried to sign went to some pretty decent sides so I don't think it's the package we offered, who knows we may get one of those we went for next summer or even rose.

I for one am well happy with this if it comes off.

all clubs pay agents fees. should we add their air miles as well? what about their hotel bills?
 
Couldn't give a shit if all 11 playing today was all loans. I support safc. It's another new dawn and I'm looking forward to it with optimism not pessimism. It may go tits up, it may not, but ffs be positive lads
 
i agree. its just more loans though, but its getting down to the last 2 days so we have no choice. just as long as we have players lined up for these problem positions in january or next summer, LB,CM,and a striker when sess leaves, though id hope we have one lined up if he goes in this window.
