Well rumours of the Derby lad on loan did the rounds the rest seems improbable.

The gent in question is a massive tit

I wouldn't say you were wrong. He told me last season that Sheffield United were buying Joe Gomez from Liverpool and that was from the horse's mouth 😄.

Everything he's told me hasn't come to fruition, but when I used to work with him he always made out he had inside information.
I enjoy reading all the rumours on here, but I take them for what they are, just rumours. To be honest, I think he gets his information from Fantasyland.

Scotland in action tonight, might see Cooper get some game time.

Seen a post on x that we're only one more signing away from our limit. Have to be some outgoings if we're going to sign a couple more.

Went off injured, hamstring could miss the Euros

Liam Jessop unused sub for Gibraltar

It would obviously matter as you?d be paying players that can?t get a game. Not saying it won?t happen but hardly ideal.

Doubt it will come to that, sure Hobson will be loaned out given the glut of players we have that can play his roll. Hopefully we?ll be able to shed at least one CB as well and then the fun may start trying to get a balance

We did pay players not on the squad at the beginning of this season just gone, Asante not given a shirt number, as well as someone else who I can?t remember who lol

It?s perfectly plausible that one or two of the players who signed extended deals during this last season did so to bring them in line with some of the more recent signings in terms of bonuses etc and presumably we?ll be looking to get some one to take them on a free rather than have to pay them up.

Thankfully, there is no in the same boat as Asante this time round.

All our players are good enough for a loan out to one club or another.
Our squad size won?t be a problem.

I assume you are thinking of Rowe? The idea having any senior player (no matter how it came to pass) not in the squad and still paying for them is not ideal. The idea that this would be acceptable squad planning as suggested above is bonkers

But loaned out for the same wage as we are paying them? Who knows! Oh well, the Kirks are paying

It is a tad perplexing how we handed out a lot of one year extensions to players who may not be here next season but then again if it added to squad unity and helped get us out of that hell hole then alls good!

I should think every L2 and L1 club have at least two players out on loan.

Asante was here last summer with a year left on his deal, allegedly refused a pay off and was not given a squad number and allowed to train away from the club. He eventually accepted a pay off
In November before signing for Darlington.

Pretty sure there was another player also not given a squad number last summer, I think he took a pay off to leave early in the season.

Well, the club is paying, using money loaned from the Kirks.

Maybe one for the next Q&A if any one of them are loaned out/sold by then.
