Not saying I believe it, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. Its no more unbelievable than any of the other players we seem to be linked with. Lots and lots of uninspiring loans. Hope I am wrong but this looks for all the world like a team preparing short term fixes with a view to sell. Actually, if that's the case I hope she does sell!

Happy to loan Bertrand and the inter players but that's enough loans. Hard to build a team around loans. At least one good enough to stay up. And its not like we can't afford to buy. Happy with Tadic and pelle but need more of that kind if we hope to do more than just battle to stay up. And I don't mean champions league here which was never realistic to begin with! I mean mid-table safety.

But laughing at any rumour with this board in place seems too much like tempting fate.

Vectis, you say you're not a fan of loans and we shouldn't go there, then say you're happy with the 3 loans we have done. I imagine you will also be happy if we take Gnabry on loan?

Just saying! :-)

For me
Let Morgan and Jay leave, the £50m will also be good
Bring in
Van Dijk
Vlaar
Forster
Hernandez
Rodwell
Gnabry

Total £50m?

in my humble opinion we then have a squad to challenge for Europa at least!

The loans have buy options so they are really 12 month call options - sensible investing strategy

It gets worse!
Daily Record (Scottish paper) says today that Samaras is considering a move to Saints.
Him and Nugent are both Championship level imo

Actually I didn't say I was against loans. I think they are sensible options especially if its a view to buy kinda deal. But it would seem we currently have enough money to avoid bargain basement shopping at this time.

Or maybe we dont. All those debts cortese ran up coming home to roost?
