Issa Kabore getting recalled by city from his loan at benfica to loan him back out

be interesting to see where he ends up
 
Latte Lath to Leicester is interesting. Many will see it as weakening Boro but i'm of the opinion that Conway is a better player so they'll be better off giving him Latte Laths minutes. His goals will need replacing though.

Lath is quality like. Really good player at championship level. Will weaken Boro. Short term until they reinvest. Which they will do. They like spending a few quid.
 
His best position is one we’re ok in when Mundle and Watson are fit. Unless we see him playing off the right or up front I don’t think he’ll be coming here.
The thing is, we likely won't see either of them especially Mundle for a good bit due to RLB's comments of being very careful with Mundle. We might need that level of quality winger to come in on loan, could be the difference for us

I watched this last night, Scott Wilson seems to think we won't be looking at buying a striker, and it's more likely we will loan the many that will become available for loan in the PL.

If so, does anybody know of any going on loan?

Will Lankshear and Jayden Danns are the only ones I can think of right now

Really tough to pinpoint where we’re desperate for more tbh. There are drawback to adding players. Ultimately bringing players in - particularly loan players - brings with it the prospect of moving players away from the pitch. This is only exacerbated by RLBs dislike of rotation and subs. Don’t want to hurt the development of our midfield three for instance. And that’s just the effect on this season. There’s future seasons to bear in mind too. If we bring in Barry on loan does that make Watson less likely to sign a deal? Does another striker mean Ogunsuyi decides to sit in Liverpool's academy instead?

All that isn’t to say we should do nothing. However it’s never as easy as bringing in 4-5 like many default to every window. Listened to WMS reaction last night and the talk was of the quality and potential of our young players and how we need to support them with a few more Mephams. What they didn’t really twig, though, is that these additions would be mostly taking the place of these promising young lads, and impacting their development as a result. Really tough for the club to balance the short term opportunity we have with the club ethos that has put us in this situation in the first place. And that’s before we consider fan chatter and pressure.
This is spot on. I like our focus on signing players that will develop and there’s a challenge in balancing that with the consistency of experience and the physical capability of older players. We’ll definitely lose some players if we don’t go up (for good money) but we’ll also lose good young players if they don’t get time. Personally I hope any money we invest is on a slightly better quality of young player or that age group where they’re firmly ready to step up instead of too many Aleksic’s.
