The loans.

[ISZA ⚔️]

Sounds like we have a list of around 10 for the two domestic loans. So who you taking?

Diallo and Doyle for me.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Diallo and Doyle too, but if we can't get Doyle then Palmer and another.

Assuming McAtee is unavailable

I'd like to see us get Diallo but don't you think him, Ndiaye and Traore would all be a bit similar? Or is it a case of you can have too many of those types I suppose. Plus we have no guarantees traore will make the step up straight away.

 

[Yogi]

Chukwuemeka and O’Brien

 

[Brownieblade]

Holgate and Obrien

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

If we bring Diallo in then I presume we’ll change to wingers with NDiaye on one side & Diallo on the other.

 

[From the pig end]

Holgate and Obrien

...that's your pick?

 

[Brownieblade]

...that's your pick?

Yeh, I don’t think we get another CB in so end up with Holgate

 

[jt64]

Doyle (assuming permanent is off the table) and a striker

 

[From the pig end]

Yeah, that might be the case, but I think the OP is asking who you want.
I mean, yours isn't a crazy shout, both are good players but the world is our oyster for loan targets.

Yeh my bad didn’t read it properly lol

Isn't Traore a striker?

That's, Ndiaye, McBurnie, Brewster, Osula, Jebbo and Traore. I think we are much more likely to see another attacking midfielder.

 

[Brownieblade]

Palmer from Man City

A CB as well

 

[jt64]

Isn't Traore a striker?

That's, Ndiaye, McBurnie, Brewster, Osula, Jebbo and Traore.

I'm fine with those, but if the opportunity comes up to loan someone who is an improvement of all of the above (barring IN), then we should at least look at it, as we sure as hell aren't signing a sure fire PL ready forward permanently. Attacking midfield also makes sense, but I think at least a couple of those you list could potentially drop back into that role. I'd rather that than burn one of the spots on "just a guy" type players already listed such as Holgate, O'Brien etc that aren't going to do much of anything in terms of making an impression, at least in my eyes.

And I'm talking about someone is going to be a known quantity, not someone like an Archer or other meh options I've seen suggested. If such a player is not available, then attacking mid is perfectly fine

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Doyle and Obrien

 

[designedbyross]

An AM and CM, so Diallo and Doyle for me too

 

[Hamandcheese]

I think Diallo will end up here. McAtee will stay at City and Palmer will go to a better team. I'd take Archer over Diallo though if possible

Hopefully Doyle will join on a loan with a view sort of deal but that could be irritatingly late in the window for such a key central player

We should surely be able to do OBrien permanently

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Lukas Podolski and Terry Henfleet

 

[Weasel]

I'd go with O'Brien as he should be attainable and will help future proof us Ronan extent especially if permanent, and Doyle for the fact that I could see him being a future United captain and mainstay in the side.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Palmer from Man City

A CB as well

Thought Palmer was supposed to be off to Brighton

 

[Nightsweats]

We really need some steel in the middle, not just fleet footed tricky attacking middies.
Neither Norwood nor Fleck will provide a shield for the defence. Doyle can't be expected to do it on his own against Prem opposition. O'Brien would be a very good signing. Doubt we'd be able to get Palmer unless Hecky and Pep are tight!

 

[Nightsweats]

Isn't Traore a striker?

That's, Ndiaye, McBurnie, Brewster, Osula, Jebbo and Traore. I think we are much more likely to see another attacking midfielder.

The last 4 can't guarentee anything.
We got 2 strikers.

 

[Brownieblade]

Thought Palmer was supposed to be off to Brighton

Yeh I dont expect to get, just who I would like

 

[Nick Jansky]

Isn't Traore a striker?

Right winger converted to striker fairly recently.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I think Diallo will end up here. McAtee will stay at City and Palmer will go to a better team. I'd take Archer over Diallo though if possible

Hopefully Doyle will join on a loan with a view sort of deal but that could be irritatingly late in the window for such a key central player

You'd hope so, but if Ndiaye is unexpectedly staying now you'd expect his wage increase to be taken out of the budget.

From what we've heard, we want O'Brien on a loan with obligation on survival.
The other spot we were saving for McAtee or another AM.
If true, I still think that leaves a glaring hole in the middle of the park.

 

[Nick Jansky]

You'd hope so, but if Ndiaye is unexpectedly staying now you'd expect his wage increase to be taken out of the budget.

My guess is that they always intended to make an offer to Ndiaye so it might already be in the budget.

 

[moody1889]

Doyle and McAtee or Diallo for me

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Doyle and Diallo, but I think Holgate will be one if Bogles injury is months rather than weeks
No idea what's the issue with Bogle, but hes never far from an injury

 

[Lowen]

Not signing Doyle you lose his set pieces, no McAtee and you miss his ability to play in both a midfield and front three. Diallo would almost force us to play more attacking but I quite like that and we seem to be building one hell of a French speaking squad so get him in.

 

[Joeytheblade]

Come home Harry Maguire! Diallo or Mcatee as well
