Apparently Ryo will leave in loan, and there will be "one other exit" according to the BBC. They don't expect it to be a big name...so I'd guess that rules out Arshavin. Who do you think it could be? Is Hoyte still at the club??
I thought the mention of the second player was they were being released? So if it's Miguel being loaned out then thats good news. With most of our defenders back, no point in him being around
I have high hopes for Miquel, hopefully the loan spell will help him. Anyone know how Kyle Bartley has been getting on at Rangers ?
he's played 11 times in the League, i think he had a bit of an injury problem early in the season but can't recall really.
I really rate Bartley, I think he could become our Black Tony . I'd keep Miquel at the club, as much as a loan spell would probably benefit him, I think we may need to call on him again before the season is out.
Miguel needs to be playing regularly - like Bartley. Afobe has tweeted: "For all you that keep asking me, I am not going anywhere on loan. I'm back training with the team very soon but not match fit just yet." Pretty disappointed about that. I would have liked him to go get regular play in the Championship to see what he's really all about. I think he needs a season-long loan next year.
You're right, he does need to be playing regulary. My concern is that if we get anymore injuries at the back, it could leave us short again. I've been impressed with Miquel, he's stepped into the team almost seamlessly. He's a proper ball playing defender, calm and composed, with a good touch - in the mould of Nesta and Maldidi.
