I dont think King ever said we don't go for loans. He said they have to be right for both us and the parent club with the latter being the issue in the past (Ayari for example)

If it is Matondo as others have suggested, it's a decent bit of business IMO.

There is a player in there, but he's never been consistent enough, so it's a risk in that sense.

Matondo does offer something different on the wing, he's quick (as other's have pointed out) and has good technical ability, the fact that he cover both sides of the pitch as well would be a good degree of flexibility.

Matondo, Schlupp and Rak-Sakyi would be good business for us, although I would still like someone who can cover at CB/RB.

Well Robins said the club’s strategy was to reduce the number of loans. The fact it’s the 22nd January and we still don’t have one suggests that wasn’t a lie
Click to expand...
Reduce is fine and its a good strategy as losing half your team for nothing every summer is an absolute pain. Some people would have you believe we weren't allowed any at all. Let's see..

Matondo

Yesterday he was taking his man on and beating him almost every time. St johnstone could not live with his pace. He created the first with a very decent bit of a footwork and played a decent pass in behind Hampden is a wide pitch and as long as Cortes is out and simas still down in Brighton...

Could be wrong but it does sound like Robins was told to avoid them:

When asked why the club had not utilised the loan market for the first time in 20 years, Mark Robins stated - ‘It shows the strategy of the club more than anything. There are some really good loans out there, that’s clear.’

It isn’t unlike King to U-turn on his decisions so hopefully from now on we utilise that market. I’m sure Lampard already had that that with him anyway

No, I said you shouldn't always listen to the fans of an ex team.

You then said Vik was better when he left us than he started with us and I pointed out same could happen to Matondo.

We'll keep this truthful.

Have a good day

Indeed. Unless you're a world beater you're quickly assigned as scrap.

Must be a hugely difficult club to play for.

Todd Cantwell basically got bullied out the club. His attitude can't be that bad, as he's playing for Eustace at Blackburn.

I'd imagine Cantwell's skin to be about as thick as tracing paper.

He’s talented, but again (as happened in the last game we played against them) he looked like his head had gone after they had conceded. I think he seems pretty mentally weak.

Hard to tell as Blackburn fans not exactly in love with him.

Seemingly doesn’t press and put in a tackle.
