Yeah, not keen on half the squad sodding off in January.
Suppose the thinking goes if you're challenging for promotion then you can use the wage budget again in January, and if not just give the kids some experience? (trying to see it posiively, honest!)
Yep, big worry for me too. Think you really need to keep the loans to a minimum if at all possible. The thought of us losing a number of players in Jan is rather disconcerting. Let's hope if they do well we can extend the deals to the end of the season.

Which then means trying to get new players settled into the side half way through the season. Maybe for some there will be the option to sign on a permanent basis but the young players we have from Bournemouth are clearly there to get experience and head back. The others are all players with a point to prove if they want to stay at their Championship clubs. I don't mind that and, as I said, as long as they do the business in their time here then it's good business.
