Boring, clichéd or a different opinion. I don't believe it's fair to try and control a posters use of language. Unless it's offensive, of course.
It's as funny as why didn't Barry take the penalty and Agent ........
Hilarious.

I think you should be allowed one f**k and one w**k a week. But enough about my marriage, what are we allowed to type on H&V?

Liverpool press are reporting it to be close. Interesting one Kent. Looked brilliant in their pre-season and had some good games for Barnsley last season. We need a wide option so it is a welcome addition. Performs anything near to his potential he could be a genuine outlet for us. Plus Hourihane and Bree already know his game.

If McCormack goes then I can see a target man type striker arriving before the deadline and that being that. Again on loan, which actually I don't care about when we need to hit FFP. I am sure that is why Johnstone was only a loan in the end to help us on that front.

Kent would be an amazing signing.











I've never heard of him. No, wait, is it the county we're signing?

Not sure there are any limits in the football league are there or certainly didn't used to be.  I seem to remember Hereford getting promoted years ago using something like 10 loan players and them all leaving at the end of the season leaving them with hardly any players left.

Even though they only spent about £3m strangely not. Just the 5 but they were clever ones.

If the feeling is that Green isn't ready / good enough then I could understand bringing in a young player on loan from another club.  If Green is deemed good enough but maybe not ready to play week in week out then maybe a more experienced option would be more suitable.

All right, so I hear everyone about the entire usage thing, but is anyone actually going to offer an argument as to why Montero shouldn't be collared with that particular label?

Didn't Watford get up one season with a team more or less full of loans or was that allowed because they were mostly from abroad?

A quick Google and Huddersfield had 5 players in on loan. 4 joined in the summer and 1 in Jan all on season long loans.
