....or Tommy Hoban. I know that Tiny's leaving gave GZ little time to prepare but why on earth he chose to play Dicko as his replacement I'll never know. Craig Forsyth would have been a better bet as well.
Or Dale Bennett who has been ready for weekly Championship football 12 months ago. With Fitz Hall injured and Taylor sold I really dont know what he is doing out on loan????
I wonder if Zola is asking for these players to be sent over, or is he being sent them? He did not seem to want to lose Taylor, so it is a bit difficult to work out just what is going on. Is he in fact in charge of this "loan" process? It will only make sense if he can sort out his best squad and send the rest of the foreign loanees back , while perhaps getting some of our own younger players out on loan in the English Leagues/conference. Otherwise it just seems a recipe for confusion, and risks creating a poorly motivated squad.
