Anyone else been surprised that we haven't brought in anyone from utd.

This isn't me saying its wrong that we haven't. But I'm just surprised we haven't gone that route at all.

a niche perspective

But Darren Ferguson got sacked by Preston and Manchester Utd immediately recalled two loan players.


By benefits he was talking about "mates rates" I think. The recalls were clearly Ferguson Snr calls as petty vengeance.

Not really.

We sign Championship-level players.
But teams sending out young players on development loans will almost certainly send them to the highest possible standard they can play at.

Man U won't send us Amad Diallo, Hannibal Mejbri, Ethan Laird or Alvaro Fernandez when they can send them to Sunderland, Birmingham, QPR and PNE.

We won't ask Man U to send us Charlie Savage or Ethan Galbraith, because they aren't good enough to get in our matchday squad.

I think there is Roy Keane interview about Alex Ferguson that mentions this.

Wasn't really saying much about how he will end up doing. More of a signing who we seemed to get because he'd played well against us in one match.

Of all signings..and timing his is one which looks like the odd one out.


There is no way you know that's why we signed him. His trajectory in terms of impact/contribution stats has been upward. He has been known about as a raw talent for a while e.g Pompey took him on loan and he was outstanding in pre season then didn't replicate. But since then he has started to add goals etc so it could well have been data driven with a good performance against us as well.

He's one for the future whatever but definitely a question mark whether that would be with us. If he rips it up for Burton on loan for example then we can keep or get our money back most likely. Or we lose out financially worst case within an acceptable amount.

Yes I am though he never gave the impression he was after doing a lot of that.

We had Savage and the other lad on experience with us which is a good idea. I imagine if they really impressed it might have been looked at further.

I thought we might get one in with the injuries we had as cover rather than recall El Miz but Luongo has covered that.
