If we are playing well enough that this is a problem in Jan, hopefully the crowds will be of a level where we can countenance a bid, or we will have had a cup run. So success isn't necessarily a issue!

Without wanting to go overboard on boo's potential cryptic tweets, he's tweeted 'A turkey exclusive' and a gif of a Turkey. This could either be a dig about Ryan Whelan's 'exclusives' or we're signing this lad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeaco_Duhaney |

Yeah problem is if he does really well (and thats a good thing for the first half of the season for us), but he then fancies himself a league 1 team or something. We win short term as we have with other loans recalled half way into the season of course. But yeah feels bad |

That covers the Jonny Williams gap so thats a good start. Now let's fill the rest. I'll take another 3 loans like him if it means they come with a bit of experience and quality then add 2/3 solid signings
Good work

Sounds like a quality replacement for Williams. All very positive. If its a loan on our terms (no recall unless we say, fixed price to buy for if it goes well) then its probably a positive there too. If they can recall him then that's worrying.
5 or 6 more good looking signings like that, in positions we're more in need of and I'll move my hand away from the panic button for a bit.

I seem to remember around the time of the Doyle/Yates debacle that Wellens said every loan has a recall option, which seems likely. |

Good signing, but annoying that it's on loan. If he's any good, he won't be here past January!
But he's here now after a cracking run with Hartlepool last season. If we could get him to sign here after scoring 9 in 16 games for them since January, I can't see why we wouldn't be able to persuade him to stay if things go well here. |

Whelan is a very odd chap. He gets very snarky with people and snaps back with stuff like "Well, that's because I'm in a car park with my kids!" Weird. |

Does he get info or just make mildly informed guesses and get them right occasionally? |

He gets it right and loves the attention. I have known him a long time he was a old family friend and then in the last year or so turned a bit weird. A family member of mine was very ill (they had blood cancer) and STFC BOO thought he would tell me how that person had turned into a miserable cunt since they were ill |

Those commenting on season long loans have only looked at the possible downside - recalled if he does well.
The other side is we can offload if he doesn’t - I don’t remember many complaints about the season long loans of Gilbert or Kovar being terminated early. Also (and let’s all hope he doesn’t), if the loanee gets a season ending injury early (like Ballard in 20/21) or later (Brennan last year) the early termination takes him off our wage bill.
