But where is the proven, experience part that's been banged on about
I've aready posted above in reply to you, NLA ......... but who would you sign that is decent, experienced and can do a job on loan, and will be released by their club?
But where is the proven, experience part that's been banged on about
Depends where you want that proven experience from. A reserve from Belgium might as well be a crap League Two player - as we've already seen enough of.
The only part that gives me hope in the loan window is that they can't be players that are our playing in a different country who don't understand what is needed in this league. I was critical of the Johnson signing i have to admit, but on thinking about if he can find his form before he had his troubles he could be exactly what we need in the defence.
I am hoping for a loan like Coquelin coming in to help. Hopefully as Wenger saw how good Coquelin did he might want to give us others to help them develop. Would even take some older player who can share some experience up front.
But i am doubtful anything will happen though, just through sheer lack of confidence.
when the window slammed shut the noises for a proven English league holding up forward were what pissed everyone off, now a kid from sthampton is seen as a good replacement, he may be mustard and I hope he is should we get him, but if he ain't then within two weeks he will be called a prem league kid cast off
If we are going to get a loan in then surely we must be looking for more than this player to pacify the noises
Seems people just want anyone /someone who ain't from the network regardless if it improves the team

Odd stance imo
Or…..some people have seen Gallagher play and think he'd be a good signing for us.
To find a striker of the calibre we need that is available on loan is no easy task. Whoever we get is going to be a bit of a gamble unless it's someone with proven Championship experience and has the quality required to make an immediate impact. A lot of the time, these types of players are just not available. The loan window is more for bigger clubs to farm out some of their youngsters to get them some game time in the hope they can assess if they will be worth keeping in future. This puts a lot of pressure on these youngsters who haven't played much competitive football anyway. They also have to live with the disappointment that their parent club doesn't think they are good enough to push for a first team spot. It's a lot of weight for these young guys to bear and many of them find it difficult in these situations.
Besides, we don't even know if they club are looking for the type of player we need. They seem to have completely misunderstood the needs of our squad for some time. Whoever comes in we need to give him as much help as possible to settle quickly in the hope that we see the best of them. Unfortunately our current position doesn't afford us much time to get someone settled in and nailing down a regular first team slot.
I think, in this window, they are technically 'emergency' loans and you can only keep them for 12 weeks - so if you loan now they 'expire' before the end of the season run-in. Most teams seem to arrange loans to start so that they cover to the end of the season which, I think, means next week.
I'm pretty sure it's already been mentioned ( Do keep up, Fanny!) but Sunday's Express stated that SWP is now ready to go out on loan with Charlton, Brighton & Bolton interested.

Twelve weeks will do us, not that long to go until the end of the season.

We did not get an experienced striker to replace Kermorgant last January. We did not get one in the summer, we did not get one in the autumn loan period and we did not get one in the January transfer window.
Don't you think we should have gotten the RD message by now?

anyway it is only a rumour.
Where is he hiding, or is Roly blind, that damned elusive number nine.

Then he'll find out its only domestic loans and take the EU to court for restraint of trade.
Are we bovvered ?
I thought he got injured and had been sent back . In any case his loan from Rotherham expired on 1 January .
He would be perfect ,caused us no end of problems when we faced him at the New York Stadium.
