No insight as to why any one of these players might go out on loan, just idle speculation based on a list and (lack of) appearances. The Sam McQueen one is absurd, given that he is not even back in full training yet. Also unlikely that both Forster and Latham will go on loan. There's a long way to go this season, and the players listed will get chances at some point when injuries and suspensions set in. We actually have a very small squad at the moment.

Convict Colony Posted 18 November, 2020 Share Posted 18 November, 2020 23yr old, good experience and fast and good endurance and played in europe.

Wouldn't cost too much. He would displace KWP let alone challenge him imo. It would really help us to have this kind of player. Hope we get him. Any idea how much? Must be approaching £20m given we had a bid of £11.5m (?) turned down in the January 2019 window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 18 November, 2020 Share Posted 18 November, 2020 Just now, LeG said: Somewhere else. Same as when I said Walcott was on a shortlist, so is Maehle. He has been on it a while though. I'm very suprised he isn't already here to be honest. Might be a financial thing....waiting for January. We know the player wants out. Maybe the club viewed Williams as a better option, but im not convinced united will sell and we sure as hell arent developing other teams' players without an indication of a permanent move down the line. Cheers. Yeah, it’s been a while. Burnley wanted him too apparently but finances scuppered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screechio Posted 18 November, 2020 Share Posted 18 November, 2020 Sounds positive especially if we want 3 in each position but I wonder how it will be financed. Will a player be moved out. Is the price too good to ignore? Or is there enough in the pot from the free transfers wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never really replaced Jeremy Pied , versatile and reliable, useful player to have , Valery could probably do with a loan to develop some confidence playing in front of crowds again once allowed back. I also get the impression that Obafemi is being overtaken by N'Dululu for first team bench. Obafemi's goals at Chelsea and Man United last season have given the impression he's a better player than he really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us spending the kind of £ that Genk are likely to want for Maehle to be an "option" or cover. 10 hours ago, LeG said: Maehle can play LB, LWB, LM, RB, RWB and RM.

From the little I've seen I'd be pleased to see him here. I'd have preferred him or Zeefuik in the summer ahead of KWP though I'm not sure he would displace KWP at the moment. To be fair KWP hasn't looked out of place this season (opening two games aside in which the whole team were poor),and has been been a pretty consistent performer, better than I expected.

gsweet87 Posted 19 November, 2020 Share Posted 19 November, 2020 Unless we have a raft of injuries over the next couple of months, I don't see us being in for anyone. I think our depth is OK, and I doubt we will be looking for upgrades on first teamers in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appy Posted 19 November, 2020 Share Posted 19 November, 2020 I think another full back that can cover either side what would an important addition, as it stands if KWP gets injured we’re in a bit of trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWP does play both sides, so what we really need is a new RB, even one who only plays on the right, since Valery looks a write off. As far as transfermarkt is aware, Maehle has only ever played on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keef Posted 19 November, 2020 Share Posted 19 November, 2020 Assuming we are not too far off where we are now in the league come January, it makes whoever might be on the radar easier to attract to the club that say, if we were in or near the bottom four.

mcbendy Posted 22 November, 2020 Author Share Posted 22 November, 2020 Interesting comments coming out of the club recently regarding signings.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 November, 2020 Share Posted 22 November, 2020 Given Ralph’s closer involvement with the B team and his positive comments over the recent tonking of Man City, I wonder if there’s more opportunity for certain youngsters coming though rather than significant spending in January?
