I don't see the issue with getting in loan players in January to see us through to the end of the season. Why do we have to buy at this stage?GTG wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:24 pmNot gonna comment on the game as that moment has well and truly gone over the weekend while i've been away.
But i've seen a few on here talking about us not having any money to buy players etc.... i've read from multiple sources (reliable or not I dunno) that its our wage bill thats stopping us buying anyone.
Premier league rules state that wages cannot increase by more than 7% in a season of which we are at the ceiling or very close to it. If we buy players then obviously we're paying them wages but in the loan market we could be looking to get the parent club to cover some of that cost. Im not convinced UE's comments about only being able to loan players is because we got no money.
Apparently that situation is going to look a lot more rosy come the summer when a number of players on big wages will be off the books and the new sponsorship deals kick in. If we are able to somehow get 4th we will hopefully have a tidy sum to invest and I'm guessing its at that point we will really see in what direction we are heading under Stan.
With the injuries we have then loans are more sensible and with the amount of players with contracts ending then makes business sense. At least we know that if the player on loan doesn't work out we get rid instead of having them on the books on high wages for 2-3 seasons.

Be nice for Woy to win a trophy at the tailend of his career, but it looks like city v chelski if the draw keeps them apart

Makes me wonder how far we could've gone if we went past United and our GK wasn't a full lanky dumbass. Either United or Chavs have a good chance of going deep if they play sensible.
