5 out of about 150. Some average. Wouldn't min seeing the wage bill for the bunch of tossers. An even bigger waste of money than the bloody hospitality suites
There are loans you land with no money and those that you can get when you can afford to give the correct wages and/or those you can get with a 'view to' a permanent deal. I agree we need this T/O to sail through but my comments are in regards to Doc's opinion that it would be no quicker than if we were to drop a division Keogh put in a decent display, I know he never scored goals but he wasn't a disaster, O'Dea was poor but played most games and I don't know what we would have done had he not been in the team. They can work but we signed the loan players nobody else wanted.
Freedman did nowt. McCartney was hung out to dry, very much in the same way as O'Dea has been. Watt was never very good for us, considering we had White who was better in every way but we refused to use him at that time. Even Delph was ****e second time round when you look at it. I don't think these players become ****e overnight as soon as they hit the shores of Leeds United; there is something much more fundamental going on at this club
Are you for real? He was amazing in his short spell here!!! Important goals and all round play dragged us to play off final And mccartney was very solid 1st spell. had a great partnership going forward with max too
Watt was good in his first spell, second spell was average. I see people not only currently overrate white but now seem to think he was awesome a few years ago as well.... interesting I don't disagree loans are a bad way of doing things but sometimes it is necessary
An occasional one now and again to fill an emergency gap is acceptable in my books. What I can't abide is having a whole bunch of them at any one time. Pointless exercise that you might expect from a club in financial dire straits near the foot of the third division. Certainly not what you'd expect from a club averaging over 20k and hoping to return to the Premiership soon
Completely agree and I didn't get that across in my post. We have used the loan market way too much. But if we were to loan players, they should be players like Shelvey and Bannan who are young and are going to be class prem players and are going to make a difference to the team and we can really use to get out of the division. Not players like O'Dear and Watt who really are very average at best and not ever gonna break into there current squads. Other clubs at this level have used the loan market successfully though
If the Club policy (well Bates' policy) of selling our best players and/or letting their contracts run down so they leave for nothing rather than give them a pay rise wasnt in operation the team wouldnt have had to rely on so many hit & miss loan players over the last few seasons. Hopefully when (& not if) the takeover goes through, we wont have to be over reliant on loan players. I just hope Warnock signs players who want to play for the shirt & not the pay cheque that a rich owner might lure them with. Would rather have a loanee than a mercenary. M.O.T.
It'll be a small list of players Warnock will have to work from if it's only the shirt they're interested in. Their agents will ensure the fat cheques are first priority I'm afraid
Sorry mate, I too wish players played for the love of the game. However the reality is that the teams with the highest payrolls are the most successful teams today.
