The suggestion of £200k was for a purchase not a loan as Rotherham would not loan him. Better players would cost a lot more money but he is capable of putting the loose balls in the 6 yd box into the net, something we are failing to do at the moment.

We need to get by the next 6 weeks until January 1st when it has been suggested that we will spend big, without spending much money but still getting results. I think that both could do a job in the short term.
is just three months older than Bruno.

Still no loan signing then, but plenty of opportunity for BG's slightly senile drivel. Sigh.

Hang on a minute!
You've created mayhem suggesting we take Derbyshire then you say Rotherham won't loan him out............
Then a few minutes later you're back to arguing that he and Ashley Cole could do a good job (in the short term) ON LOAN.
Which one is it for heavens sake?

And your point is?

its [MENTION=153]perseus[/MENTION] - is that a serious question?!
Does not have to be a point. Most people can make up their own minds (even if completely wrong). If Bruno and Greer can still hack it I would have thought Cole could as well.
I hope Bong recovers before any damage is done.
An inverted full back has special problems:
1) blocking the crosses is not quite as good when the winger goes on the outside. (Try standing on your wrong foot and blocking with your swinger.)
2) distribution by passing is not so good as the right footer will have a tendency to pass inside where it is crowded and not down the line (most important)
3) overlapping for crosses is not so good but I don't think this matters as if play suddenly switches he can behave like an inverted winger and shoot
Has one advantage against an inverted winger when he is probably better at stopping the winger going inside.
It is all compounded with the Albion is that we have not got a left-sided midfielder who can defend, unless you count Forster-Caskey or Solly March?
I'm sure the problems can be overcome for a few games. I would tend to play Rohan Ince in midfield but he seems both out of form and match practice and losing confidence. Left back can find him with their passes inside. Fosrter-Caskey can't be ruled out as a starter either.

5 more days until the window shuts.
In my opinion we need a left back just in case Rosenior gets injured before January 1st. It's 8 weeks(+) now until Bong is back.
A striker to replace Baldock would also be useful.

Disappointed to be honest. Looks like the surge in Bozza posts last week was simply an attempt to boost traffic during the international break. *sigh*

If we wait until Sunday the first 28 day no-recall part of the loan will include the Middlesbrough match.

When is the deadline to SING a player before Sunday's game
41.2 Subject to Regulations 41.4 and 41.5, a Player will only be eligible to play in a match organised by The League if the appropriate forms for his registration or the transfer of his registration (other than those referred to in Regulation 41.3) are received (including by facsimile) and found to be in order by The League by 12.00 noon on the day prior to the date of such match.

(not sure whether this would apply to a Sunday game as a fax would need to be received at FL HQ)
