Is anyone really excited about the calibre of loan player we might bring in?

Didn't think we'd ever get someone with the potential of Gedion Zelalem on loan at all never mind when we were in the Championship.

Now that we're back in the top flight and going for the title, can you imagine who we can bring in now?

There are the obvious ones, Pritchard, Winks etc.

The Liverpool and Tottenham connections should do us well near the end of this window.

Thorn76, like you i hope and believe that any loan signings will be top notch, however must disagree re Zelamen, afraid to say i thought he brought us nothing, indeed on occasions was like playing a man short, well he certainly was not suited to the level of football we were playing in.

Yes think I agree, 2-3 quality young loans of same quality of Zalalem/ Ball/ Owowa will do nicely. Currently I make it we are 6 players down on first team squad from last year and have now added 8 as replacement. If we make 3 more acquisitions plus 3 quality loans the 1st team square will be 8 up on last season plus our loanees returning (e. g. Hardie) judged good enough for 1st team squad. So in terms of numbers the squad should be fine.

Think Powell is away elsewhere already.
Wilson's a good shout though.
