Oscar has played for us this season… he can’t go anywhere else can he?

He can go to Brazil. I think the rule only applies to clubs that use a Summer scheduling system and play July/August through to May. Brazil, Argentina etc play April to December, so their Summer transfer window just opened.

If it is him, it's a belting signing; he's already a fantastic player, but if he's coming permanently (presumably with a fitting buy back or sell on clause), then we've got ourselves a bargain.

Thought the winger we'd moved onto was only coming on loan now? I'd be more excited if he was coming permanently

Would be a tad underwhelming, no experience of senior football.

I wouldn't say it was underwhelming, but it's a signing of intent and promise. The lad should be playing in the Championship and the consensus at Liverpool seems to be that he'd be going out on loan this window anyway.

Not every signing we make will have experience, we've signed plenty before who haven't had any and gone on to do very well. Like it was said above, he was injured last season, but he was on the fringes of first team and made a few appearances so Liverpool must rate him highly enough that he's included in matchday squads.

If it is him, I think it gives us two dynamic, pacy wingers. Can't say I've seen any of his end product in terms of crosses, but Lewie Coyle and Ryan Giles will probably be supplying that.

If it is him we would have 3 Liverpool lads who might even be here next season never know.

I think if we're talking in terms of "we must reach the playoffs", then it doesn't really matter if we sign them on loan or not. The incentive is there for players to come in and potentially have a promotion on their CV, which will either get them recognised by their parent club or open up career options elsewhere. I don't much buy into this "they must breathe black and amber" to come here, some players just want to play football and do well and if a player wants to do that for different reasons than playing for Hull City, provided it doesn't impact their performance, I can't say I'm too bothered if they're desperate to come or forced to come at gunpoint by Acun.

Got to admit I would be happy with Gordon especially on a permanent but it would probably be a loan as linders said they are impressed with how their lads are being developed and taken care of by the club.

Where are you getting this from about pace?
Not that I take FIFA that serious but I would trust their researchers over you.

I'd just feel more comfortable developing an inexperienced player during a crucial period for us, if we'd gain a long term benefit from it. A lot depends on how this winger performs imo and if someone is coming in for a few months only i'd rather have someone with experience. Hopefully he's brilliant for us, but it feels like a risk
