I don’t understand it. We are short on cash and trying to figure out a new system. And we are horrible in the transfer market! Loans make so much more sense for us just now.Forgive me as I am speaking way out of my comfort zone, but why not go for loans in January? We could land upon the next Larsson. And if it turns out to be Wout, then it was never a huge commitment anyway (like a certain Antony). It’s like a paid-for low-risk trial where there is potential mutual benefit.
Am I missing something in regards to why we’re not exploring that more?
Endrick and Guler would be goodI raised the same point in another thread. I am sure there are few top teams where there attackers are unhappy and not getting any minutes, we should be making proper use of loan market. Reguilon, Larrson, Sabitzer were all okayish for us, Ighalo and Weghorst less so, however we need bodies now, i heard Madrid are open to loaning Endrick, we should be all over that, plus Guler at Madrid is also not getting much game time. With Antony gone, Garnacho and Rashford up for sale, we need atleast two ins otherwise we would be very short on numbers and with Europa league and Fa cup there, there are still plenty of matches.
Given we have no money, I assume our management team has been considering virtually nothing but loans.Forgive me as I am speaking way out of my comfort zone, but why not go for loans in January?

Its the absolute pragmatic way to deal with this window. Feelings have to be set aside for some years.Forgive me as I am speaking way out of my comfort zone, but why not go for loans in January?

Interesting. Do you recall if Weghort or Reguillon ended up being costly? My thinking is that it would be less costly long term considering our poor results with transfers lately. Not like we have top 4 to challenge but we need to stay away from relegation zone but also have depth for FA cup and EL. Potential trophy/trophies would seem justified in my opinion, and then we scout proper transfers in the summer. Assuming we can make a sale or two this month of course.Loans are often deceptively expensive. You might end up paying high wages and even a loan fee for a player who is usually only available for a loan, because something is wrong with him. At least when it’s not about youngsters, but established players. So there’s a rather high risk that the loan doesn’t work out, while the costs are high and there might not even be a perspective of keeping the player for the long run if it should work out.
There were additional costs to the Weghorst loan, as Burnley had to break off the existing season long loan to Besiktas with Besiktas getting a cut of the (now inflated) £3m loan fee. With wages on top.Interesting. Do you recall if Weghort or Reguillon ended up being costly? My thinking is that it would be less costly long term considering our poor results with transfers lately.

I don’t know really, I get my transfer news from others here. Just wanted to pose the question to see if anyone had any insight. My intention is also to see us with more depth for sake of rotation and fitness so we can at least play with more energy in the cup competitions when tactical application becomes nonexistent.Who are these available players on loan that would help us? Most players available for loan are either youngsters or failed players at other clubs. Not really much value in that market to improve us.
No idea really. But I know that our loans for Coutinho and Perisic were extremely expensive back then. I think many teams ask for the full salary and the book value the player has for the time of the loan. At least I think that was the case when we loaned Coutinho.Interesting.

Wonder if PSG would let Desire Doue or Barcola (less so) go on loan as they now have Kvara starting LW. Doue would be great in one of the 10s and is quite versatile.Who are these available players on loan that would help us?

Exactly, maybe with his game time looking bleak, he’d be worth a bidWe were interested in Doue before
