Being tired and reading spanish names is not a great idea. I was reading Juan Velasco's

This is the link on the BBC site.
Anybody who plays 46 games for Man City is well worth a look IMO and "Garrido played a part in the most successful Premiership start in the club's history with four victories and four clean sheets from the opening six games", before the Sheikh spent his hundreds of millions on them. He has played for Real Sociedad, Man City and Lazio. Rated by transfermarket as high as £4m, which indicates that he was a top player, and not some 2nd rate journeyman.
The article above says a loan with option to buy, sounds like a good deal, if he is injured we send him back, if he is a success, he'll provide good competition with Tierney on the left.
Besides this season, we have Martin and Whittaker fighting it our for RB, and with Drury gone, LB is a weak area besides Lappin. The loan would therefore give us security, and should we need to reinforce in January, we can go out and get one on a permanent. This flexibility is a sensible choice.
Gets my approval for sure, far better to spend the remaining transfer funds on a CB and a DM. So far as I'm concerned Holt, Morro and Vaughan will do a good enough job, and its not like our midfield don't know where the back of the net is, especially now with Snodgrass, Pilkington and Surman (all of whom are strong scoring threats).
I would also like to see the 2nd loan signing as Thorgan Hazard (Chelsea). His brother rates him higher than himself, and seeing as we have a pedigree in taking league 1 players and converting them in a short period of time (matter of months), he might come in useful later in the season? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorgan_Hazard. Just my view, but I think the lad would be a quick learner given the opportunity; doesn't hurt to try, I'm sure he's better than that waste of space De Laet was!

Fair enough, not everyone has the same opinions with respects to how a player will turn out.
I agree that if Eden wasn't signed, Thorgan wouldn't have been snapped up. However they have never played together for/in the same team...2 years down the line, is a different prospect. Highly likely that he will be loaned out to League 1 or Championship side. My thoughts were just given our prior success at bringing on Pilkington, E.Bennett etc, why not him too?
That's a fair comment at the bottom, probably one difference being is that Pilkington and Bennett had a point to prove after being released or sold by Premier League teams which probably instilled the hunger and determination in their game which I think makes them so good and adaptable.

I thought Bennett came from 'newly promoted to the Championship' Brighton and Pilks from League 1 Huddersfield? Therefore fail to understand your comment in bold type.
