Great news on MB obviously. But " meeting his demands in the transfer market " seems to be being interpreted by those in the know as Prem loanees . If so I don't see this as a strategy loaded with great chances of success . Leaving aside our terrible track record in getting these right, they are very difficult to predict anyway, as it really depends on how much loanees are prepared to give to the cause and settle . For every Villa and Derby who get some success with it there are examples where things don't work . Ben Woodburn is highly rated at Pool but was an irrelevance at Blunts . Even if they do work you can find the rug pulled under you if the parent club recalls them, like Brom who lost their best player in Harvey Barnes at Xmas which arguably cost them promotion. It's also incredibly short sighted . Even if they work and we get promotion, there's even more team rebuilding necessary for the prem after they all return to parent clubs . Ideally you want guaranteed full season loans, no right for a call back, no guaranteed number of game clauses and an option to purchase . But that ain't going to happen! I'm all for one or two loanees of the type we could never afford but these should be mixed with the right purchases .

Agreed Red but then again every addition comes as a gamble. No matter what he was like at his previous club there is no guarantee that he will crack on with you. you're right that even in a succesfull loan its back to square one at the end of the season that's why I would condone a mix of U23s, young hungry purchases and max two loans of top, top quality.

I’d rather have the gamble of loanees backed by what we have and the U23s than

Selling assets to fund new arrivals

We don’t have parachute payments

We do have Bielsa and the hurt from last season to spur us on.

Harry Wilson would be my number one loan pick . 18 goals for Derby not even as striker . Just think what he could do for us next year! Great with free kicks too which we were rubbish at last year .

Think Wilson is better playing in premiership next season.
