Not really, I am sure his comments were about short-term loans, and panic buys in the January window at OTT prices? He has also talked about liking to try players before buying them - so who knows?

I think it is definitely something that Gus has learned over the last year or so. It is better to not have to rely on loan players, but when quality ones become available it is churlish to not seriously consider it.

Also, they are both loans until the end of the season, so he can plan acccordingly.

These two sound very promising.

I'm not overly keen on the team being STUFFED with loan signings though if I'm honest. We could now have over half a team of loanee's on the pitch with Vokes, Reyes, Mattock, Assulin and Razak. Of course its great if they turn out to be quality and we get an option on a permanent deal. But I don't want to see our team become a revolving door of other clubs players who are looking for some 1st team action before going back to their own club, as inevitably it means some of our own squad are missing out (and I'm thinking particularly of the likes of JFC, who really needs to be involved to continue his development).

Gus obviously knows what he's doing, but I still think he needs to be careful to get the balance right.

If we beat Liverpool we will start to build up a lot of games in hand and if we make the play-offs as well we will need a big squad as fatigue sets in. There are few other clubs in this division with any strength in Depth. This will count bigtime in the run in.

A big THIS. We have 10 games in the next 45 days so we will need a decent size squad.

I think with recent form showing we could we good enough to be in the play-offs, GP and Bloom must've had a meeting and agreed to pay that little bit extra to get players like that - then hopefully get in the play-offs.

Happy days!
