Can anyone help me understand why we are getting Idah on loan with no option to buy?
Loan signings are bad enough but I can see the thinking that we can try before we buy like CCV or Jota. Now we're back to giving other teams a platform for their player without any benefits for us long term. Say Idah signs and has a brilliant end of the season, he goes back to Norwich and we're in the same position we are in now only we've paid someone else's wages and they can flog him for X amount.

Really hoping we pull something out of the bag, not long until its over and we have to hit the ground running against Aberdeen away.

It looks like extra cover for the next 5 months and then we will look at a permanent striker signing in the summer.

I get that Buzz but if we're going to pay Norwich Idah's wages to cover 4 months then send him back we'd be as well just throwing Joey Dawson or some U21 striker on the bench, the Asian Cup Final is Feb 10th so its only another 10 days max till Oh and Maeda are back anyway.

Seems like we are grasping at straws, it's also strange that the Idah story broke as soon as South Korea made it through after pens yesterday. If they were knocked out would we have just left it and waited till Oh and Yang got home?

Seems we are holding back in this window with maybe a bit of apprehension and unwillingness to spend until the season is over. There's no other reason why we didn't go all out for a striker - and other positions for that matter? It better work as it's a big gamble and another sign that maybe manager and Board are not in tandem.

The Board are taking a huge gamble BelfastBhoy and I’m not sure they will get away with it.

Truely and honestly do not get this wait until summer nonsense. Wait for what? Till we blow the £60 M. Scouting players should be an ongoing process that assesses cost and availability and likely hood of signing with a set of targets ready to go when window opens. It sounds like our lot sit in a dark room with a stopwatch waiting to get started. Come summer it’s likely that we will lose some of our top players, just increasing the work already required leaving us playing catch up again. Then what? Wait till the following summer!

The Board are really gambling, especially when we are having our best players going down injured, falling like flies, on top of that our only effective lB Taylor is out too. We don’t know for sure when any of them will be back . If we had been active in market the injuries may not have affected us .
Rangers seem to have their problems with injuries Danielo Roofe and Sima all out for season.
