Hopefully I can express an opinion without being banned? Just trying to discuss the situation at Saints. If not I'll go back to being a lurker no problem.
I tend to think he is just your typical modern day know it all plastic. We are linked to 2 loans, that isn't 'a load of loans'. We are linked to several big name big money signings, however it may not be that easy to get these deals done. TBH if we can't get who we want in on perms and we need players I would rather have quality loans in, then in January try again, and then try again next summer. No point in just panic buying big money signings that don't fit just to appease the plastics and bedwetters.
Three loans is a lot, considering we've got the money to go for actual players rather than ones who parent clubs couldn't care less about.
Perfectly legitimate questions and opinions from Mr Hypocondriac if you ask me. I may (or may not) agree but it's hardly WUM material.
