If we signed a CB (unlikely) then I imagine we would loan Rooney out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes personally but have we got the budget for another one and the other positions we need? Regarding McGrath he only had 4 appearances because he was on loan at Dundee United where he got 9 goals in 37 games. He’d be a great player at this level and would add goals to the squad. Has played 8 times for Ireland nearly all appearances coming in one of the 2 10 roles behind the striker - very similar position to where Warne would want to play him. He’s 26 and has good work rate for a high press so I think would be a perfect addition. sage and McMuffin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 A player I've always been impressed with is Marc Albrighton, he's 33 now but would be fantastic as a season long loan from Leicester. Don't think he's had much game time under current manager!! Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Joe Hugil from Man Utd is someone I wouldn't mind for the season. 6'2, scores for fun at youth level and would benefit everyone with a loan move I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt United would loan him out if he wasn’t guaranteed football, and he wouldn’t be guaranteed that here. He played in the young United side that lost to Wrexham in the US a couple of days ago so it doesn’t look like he’s close to going out anywhere just yet anyway.

Out of curiosity, how many goals Martyn Waghorn scored since leaving in 2021? Plus Mcclaren could put in a nice word about us to get some United talent, surely?

Half way through a normal football career and hardly played and I would suggest that Sibley has a better chance of progressing in that role if given it properly?

You've stated Hugil only scored once/didn't do a great deal at non league. But I'll flip the coin and say the same about Liam Thompson when he went out on loan last season - Yet I'd argue he's been one of the standouts during pre season for us. I've mentioned Waghorn because he isn't the answer moving forward - We are fixated with ex players for some reason, ex players who have never actually achieved a thing here but fans would still have them back however old they are (don't get me started on Chris Martin). We need an exciting talent a'la El Hamdaoui, Thorne, Jordan Ibe. Someone whose raw and a relative unknown who'll offer something different and will have something to prove, whether that be with the parent club or themselves. No more past it 33 year olds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more past it 33 year olds The point was I don’t think scoring 1 in 7 at National League level warrants a jump to the top of League 1 just yet, and he wouldn’t be a guaranteed starter which is surely quite important to the parent club when deciding where to send a player. I never mentioned Waghorn, but he would suit us better right now if it was a choice between someone like Hugill and him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
