Really? I know he'd take up a loan slot but wouldn't think he'd count to the 25. Never heard that before. So Salah was taking up a spot for us?
This must've been said 10 times now and people keep ignoring it. Again seems like some people choosing to see what they want to in order to be angry about it. Don't see another explanation for repeatedly ignoring this.
I didn’t mention the loan limit. Syd said because he’s under 21 he won’t count towards the 25-man squad. He will. All loan players take up a spot.
When he was first linked I made the exact same point, not sure why it's so surprising to people that we just didn't want to waste a loan spot when it has the same outcome.
We don't have to name him in the squad of course. If the plan is not to play him in the first team then we can just leave him off it.
But I suppose that would underline it. Why take a player on loan (with seemingly no option to buy) just to develop him in our U21s?
It's pretty much a work experience gig for the lad. A fair few people I know are scratching their heads at it as it's going to be very difficult for us to see any benefit from it. It's almost like he's doing them a favour in the hope they do us one further down the line maybe
Like PLT said, we could just leave him out of the 25-man squad but then he’d only be able to play for the under-21s. That would be quite odd since I don’t see how that would benefit us, Fenerbahçe or even the player.
It's an odd one. Only makes sense as a try before you buy kind of deal, but then I don't know why Fenerbahçe would be allowing that.
Also I’m fairly certain we signed Salah to be part of the first-team, not the under-21s. He was named in the 25-man squad and given the #10 shirt. He just never played a single minute for the first-team because he was constantly crocked.
This Turkish lad, coming now, gives him the chance to become home grown. Maybe Fenerbahce aren’t decided on him either and this leaves everyone lots of doors open and chance to see how he does? It’s less ridiculous than the Connolly deal. I’d rather have kept Tetteh.
It's OK. Just have a scout on the Massive Wendy board and our rivers of piss pale into merely a dribble.
our midfield is **** and its why we wont finish playoffs im still surprised why we didnt upgrade in this area and attack, we are worse. tetteh big miss imo
