1 Loan due to a key injury.
1 Loan we tried to buy and will probably re-visit in the summer time.
1 Loan that is controversial to some, not to others.

The key perm signings are arriving in due course, nothing for you to get worry about. Concentrate on your own rabble, it usually gets pulled apart by the bigger teams! 😂 😉 😬

Bigger teams wanting our players on a regular basis means we’re getting recruitment right. We’ve spent the best part of a million quid this week, with more to come, when other clubs are having to borrow players we’ve got money to spend. Recruit, develop, sell, reinvest. Or loan, develop, send back, and loan someone else. Only one way forward in my opinion and it’s not the latter.

The last player we loaned was in about 1973. We're overdue a few.

Personally Im very happy. We rarely use the loan market under Alex Neil...6 months is a long time in football and if you look at most clubs who have been successful in the championship over recent years the majority have used the loan system very well. For whats its worth I don't think top 6 is something we will achieve but it feels nice seeing our, at times stubborn, hierarchy actually giving it a go..And fwiw the keeper and midfielder are apparently possibilities of becoming permanent.

Because at the time of writing, the other team(s) prefer to loan rather than sell.

Why cut your nose off and miss out on some quality players?

What’s the point in having quality players for half a season, you don’t need them to stay up and it’s a long shot that they’ll get you up, surely you’d be better off signing and developing your own players over the next 4 months, so you can have a go at the top 6 next season. Instead you need to bring in the top side of 8 players next summer, and they’ll need time to gel. Your going round in circles achieving nothing, I know we did it for the best part of 10 years, it’s an ridiculous way to expect to improve a football club in the long term.

You sound very very worried that we are going to breeze past you, leave you standing still in our rear view mirror, whilst we motor along putting pressure on the Top 6.

If a bid has already been received from us, which is closer to Donny's valuation than that offered by Barnsley in the summer, then it shows money has been made available by the owner. This is turning into the best January than I can remember regarding incomings and it could get even better.

It is so exciting innit, this is what makes it so sad for those that because of who they are and how they can’t help feeling have had the gloss taken off it by one needless signing.

We are all different, its what makes the world go round, the sad thing is we are all staunch PNE fans, we love our club, depending on how long you have been around we have been through heaven and lots of hell together.

What makes it even worse is that we have been together at far flung grounds around the country, I remember only a few years ago at MK Dons, I think it was Gally bagged the winner being grabbed by the stranger who I had been chatting to about the game and jumping up and down in utter bliss.

The sad thing is that the guy could probably be someone who is calling me a snowflake and I am thinking that he has the morals of an alley cat.

It’s bad enough that you feel like you have been kicked in the nuts by Hemmings and Ridsdale they are arsholes anyway, and sadly Neil who I was coming round to, but the worst thing is being kicked in the nuts by your comrades from the stands and the forum. Have to admit that I am heartbroken at the moment and maybe will be able to muster up a bit of enthusiasm again soon, but I will never be able to support or cheer Evans.

And next September your all going to be whingeing and whining because you’ve not got enough players. Do you honestly believe you’ll be able to mont a serious promotion push without building a squad over a number of transfer windows ?.

Very strange for us to defend getting loans in. We’re usually criticised for not doing so. I can’t explain the Evans loan other than Alex wanted him on a short term deal, but the other 2 are quite simple. One is a short term option to replace the keeper who got injured in training this week but will be fit again for next season presumably. Unfortunately the back up keeper we signed for such situations isn’t good enough and we are stuck with him because we signed him up!! The other is a player we tried to buy but Brighton preferred to loan at this stage of the season. Will be revisited in the summer with a view to signing, but no brainer to still take him for 6 months. We supposedly have permanent signings lined up so maybe best to come back and criticise us at the end of the window.

Don't worry, Mowatt will be arriving in the summer on a Billy Bosman so that is one incoming player taken care of...

If I was in charge of Barnsley, I’d let you have him now for free, get him off the wage bill, sign a kid from MkDons and get him up to speed over the next 4 months ready for next season, Mowatt a waste of a wage to us now.

This argument is one used on this forum with regards to our soon to be out of contract players.
