New Striker Lined Up.

[Washie]

As I mentioned on twitter, I have it from an impeccable source that the loan has been agreed, and the only variable is when Oscar decides to start the deal, taking into account the players available and the way he wants to play. It could be that Oscar decides we're ok with Ulloa and say Buckley for the Reading & QPR games. Leaving it a week or so also has the advantage of giving extra games at the end of the loan period.

This agrees with the Argus story. The player himself isn't one mentioned above.

I've heard it's Lionel Messi for 20p a month.

So you got the Argus early. Big deal.

 

[Danny-Boy]

New Striker? Have you bought him from "The Sun"?

Did the Argus mention his name?

 

[Danny-Boy]

Just thought .."The Argus" could have a comic strip called "Goalie" or should that be "Goolie" ..as in "Dresing Room .."

Did the Argus mention his name?

Did you?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Did you?

No, as I was asked not to mention it. It's not someone in the same class as Guidetti or that sort of striker. It's someone who will be cover for Ulloa, and happy to be on the bench.

Which makes sense

A player coming on loan who will be happy to sit on the bench. Your story was mildy believable up to that point. Clubs don't loan players out for them to sit on the bench. They loan them out to get the game time so they improve. Also what decent player is happy on the bench?

We shall see. I wasn't suggesting they would sit on the bench 100% of the time. They are not too dissimilar to Ulloa, so they would cover when he's injured / tired and play 30 mins in many games. This person has played at this level on loan before.

Doubt me if you want, it doesn't bother me. I don't have a track record of bullshitting.

I recall plenty of porkies about the weather

Lazy & unfit?

young and keen?

I seem to recall that you have been known to apeculate occasionally.

They also loan them out just to get them off the wage bill, and sometimes to allow them bring in someone else in another area of the pitch that needs strengthening/support. Sometimes it's just fair, loan out someone who is fifth or sixth in the chain at your team so that they can be number two elsewhere, you don't lose anything, it creates goodwill with a team you might be interested in doing business with, increases the chances of it being known that player is available should someone want to buy him. Gives the player a greater chance of game time - ten minutes at the the end of a game either as an added attacking option or to rest the main man is better than sat in the stands every week.

Clubs also loan players out if they don't want to pay all their salary. Doyle would be perfect for our bench IMHO & Wolves would simply adore getting a % of his Premier League salary paid. However I was hoping for some flair, a number 10 who could sit behind Ulloa & create not a has been who is there as cover.

Thanks for the info mate. What's your opinion on the player?
