With Manuel Benson coming in on Loan from Burnley it would raise question is it a good idea to have so many Loanee's.
If we get promoted we'll have a massive rebuilding job to do, even if we kept some of the loanees , most of them would not be good enough for Premier lge survival
The exceptions being THB + FD + RF who are good enough to play in Premier lge but we're not likely to keep any of them because I don't think we have an option to buy any of those 3.
I guess the club is working along the lines of one step at a time & just make sure we have a squad this season to get us promoted.

I think we have obligation to buy THB if promoted. RF wants to stay and hopefully FD will be willing to take first team football over bench at west ham. I think the issue is if we don't go up we won't be very attractive for loanees next season | | | |

I've been saying that for a while and no doubt IF we go up we'll come straight back down or at least be in the relegation dogfight with the current squad which is not good enough for the Prem.
But they are no doubt being sensible (or cacking themselves) over the FFP possibilities as they have said they need to manage the transfer work carefully. Or possibly because they wasted so much money last season on cr@p buys? |  | | |

Surely it’s better to loan players to get us up than buy players who potentially won’t be good enough for prem and we’d be stuck with them |  |

He was very impressive for Burnley last season I think he scored 13 . something’s gone wrong with him and Kompany but I’m very pleased if we get this over the line . We have to have a strong squad it’s going to be tough but I’m confident we can do it. We all know we have a very good championship squad but not a good premier league squad.

Not sure, but we would be bat Sch!t crazy not to buy him at that price if we get promoted 😲
He seems 100% on board the Russ Bus. Certainly at away games at the end, he is one of the 1st players running up to the away support celebrating ❤️ |  | | |

I've got a gut feeling that Man City will want him back.
He's that good & still so young. | | | |

Saints haven’t made a decision on bringing in Benson yet.
They're sleeping on it. | | | |

I had forgotten all about Soap, just googled it, it only ran for 4 series from 1977-1981, I can't ever remember it being repeated, at least not in the past 40 years | |

Benson got his own series to follow, wonder what he saw?
Suspect Soap was a bit un-PC, it was always on late. Used to see my mate's wife watching it after returning from the inn

I am sure they are all buyable, but even if we did get them, the squad will not have improved one iota. Plenty of teams have tried this approach, and most end up going in the other direction. But we are where we are, and this is not a worry unless we get promoted. |  | | |

It is a worry if we sign a load of crocks.
We're paying good money for them to sit in the treatment room.
In fact in cost's us money to treat & rehabilitate them. | | | |
