We do seem to have a more sensible transfer policy these days, though. I even see the Hooper situation as a positive in the sense that we tabled our highest bid but then lost out to an EPL side instead of offering them 10 million and giving him and ridiculous contract!
I think its shut for around a week after the window closes and a week around xmas but we can only get 1-3 month loans.
If Harold's sole objective is to get promoted and sod what happens next, I can see us using this option a lot. Must confess he's going about it in a mysterious way at the moment though.
Do you remember the Tommy Smith loan deal as we (typically) failed to get the correct paperwork sorted to sign him before he summer window shut? 3 month long deals to ensure he was available for the maximum number of matches including the Christmas period.
I think AJ could be valuable player for us, but he won't score the goals needed for a promotion charge. Pairing him with Remy would be good move, IMO.
