Deano’s wishlist - the Jan transfer speculation/guaranteed nonsense thread

[cdbearsfan]

Good, everyone that stood on the Holte knows the right side is the best, and the left is for idiots.

This might be the wrongest post I've ever seen on here, and I include the recent epidemic of "you're not a proper racist if you don't come from North Birmingham" nonsense.

The Left Side is obviously better. As in politics, the Left are seekers of a noble truth, a band of brothers and sisters dedicated to the bettering of humankind. The Right Side have no such values, and are lacking in any form of decency or character.

Even the layout is a giveaway, with the Left Side sharing in the glorious history of its neighbour, the Trinity Road Stand, while the Right Side sluttishly joins onto the disgracefully renamed Quisling Stand.

I remember for a cup game once having to sit on the Right Side. It made me feel physically sick. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror for weeks afterwards which, admittedly, made shaving quite difficult. Luckily I had decided to grow a beard in a desperate attempt to disguise myself in case anyone had seen me at the game and pointed me out as a filthy Right Sider. The shame would have been unbearable.

Looks like Hause May sign on loan Today, according to John Percy (Telegraph). Wonder if it would be a loan to buy

It was reported yesterday that he was currently injured so is unlikely to pass a medical for a permanent deal at the moment.

[cdbearsfan]

Oh great, another injured defender!

[pooligan]

Another loan who also has injury problems.Will we ever learn.

[PeterWithe]

You'd imagine that there would be a clause to send him back if he doesn't recover within x days, unless there is a loan fee...

[PaulWinch again]

I was going to say, if someone can’t pass a medical for a permanent deal why on earth would you want them on loan?! Presumably you sign someone on loan to make an immediate impact!

Have we sorted the mortgage?

I'd rather take a loan punt than buying him so we can see how he recovers from his injury and also if he as good as we hope he can be given he's hardly played in the last 12 months.  Obviously it would be better if there's an option to buy.

My point was more that if you’re signing a player on loan it would seem pointless to have someone who can’t make an impact in the short-term. If his injury would cause him to fail a permanent medical why would he be of use for our purposes on loan? Unless it’s a technicality around inclusion on insurance.

I've no idea what the injury is, but there can certainly be injuries where players can play but not pass a medical.  A loan just takes out the risk.  But yeah, if it will take several weeks before he's up to speed then we should probably look elsewhere.  Of course if there's an option to buy and the loan is cheap we may also be looking at the longer term.
