Heard lots of fans saying "A loan signing or two later in the window".

Kind of question this. Think we made four loan signings in total last season, Ball, Zelalem, Oduwa and King.

We tried to get Winks a couple of times as well according to media reports.

One or two loan signings? Would imagine at least three maybe four in this window. Anyone have any idea who we'll be in for?

I think the amount last season was down to lack of numbers and time constraints, loan moves are a bit quicker to push through as you don't really need to negotiate with the player, just sell the vision. Also there was little or no scouting structure at the club at the start of the season so we were relying on Warburtons contacts more, hence the Spurs players.

I would expect 2 loans, just my thought but I think we may see a full back and a striker. And that's even if we sign permanent deals for these positions. At the moment we have 2 strikers plus young Hardie, if we sign a good quality striker I would run with that 4, if the striker signed is more in the unproven bracket I'd loan in another. If we don't need to load a striker I think it could be an out and out winger that comes in on loan.

As for names no idea, but you can't ignore the Spurs and Liverpool links. Couple of names to throw in Shaq Coulthurst, Harry Wilson, Conner Randall from the Spurs/ Liverpool connections.

Hopefully we do add a few loan deals last season we had a much smaller squad and could almost guarantee them first team football. Now that we have a larger squad we may not be able to offer as much game time so it may be harder to convince teams to loan us there up and coming players who need valuable time on the pitch.?
