Can't quite get my heed around these supposed loan signings - OK, I can understand why Stephens isn't straightforward - but Brad Smith?
'Morning Brendan, Coops here. Any chance we can have Smith off you on loan?'
Replies either
'Fuck off, Coops, no way'
Or
'Sure, we don't need him this season and he is keen for regular football'
Why the delay
Coops, "How much is he on?" Brendan, "10 grand a week"
