    Most important thing is getting some confidence playing senior football, playing in a lower tempo league will help him get minutes under his belt

    He wont play much at L1 or L2 level at the minute imo, technically hes good enough but he will get eaten alive by the big physical CBs at that level. A bad loan at this stage of his career could totally ruin him

    The key is to get him playing minutes to get him so confidence and the other aspect is if he goes abroad plays well then itll increase his value

    So I've heard, hopefully...really shows how much we need a couple of strikers with our wide options.

    Like I said, huge loan for Bainbridge

    He might be one of these low output type strikers.

    Of course he needs to take some responsibility, but we've brought him in and Mowbray has shat on his confidence on the opening day and we've managed him and others in our squad very poorly since.
    For me, whilst he needs to do more he has more potential than our other current strikers. Not convinced by Rusyn at all.
    I get that I'm in a very small minority here but that's what I think. No drama mate.
    Hopefully we get one or two in up front to bolster the first team.

    If you don't put the effort and the basics in, then I would move him on

    I was as well until they moved it to the Sunday so can't make it now. However, to compensate me and my youngest son are going down to Cardiff (straight from watching Durham play in the One Day cup at Gosforth on the Friday, stopping at Tewkesbury).

    Just wondering, have we ever made a good signing abroad under Speakman? Never seems to work out. Closest I can think of to a success is AA and Ba, and not sure they can be classed as a success yet.

    Nope. I have discussed this loads. The shift to the European market has largely been a big failure. British based signings have made the greater impact.

    Nope not a fully successful one. The problem with this is that the English market is so expensive and the value is definitely in the overseas market. This summer has seen a huge shift in the championship towards overseas signings, never been more at this stage of a window I don't think.

    Technically. But you get my point. British based players from their AOL have been the stronger and most impactful players.

    We have had too many of the

    Ba
    Benette
    AA
    Lihadji
    Rusyn
    Djaku
    Hemir
    Pembele
    Xhemalji

    That's just the top of my head.

    We have increased the value of the squad. Absolutely. But again, these are mostly UK based players.
