You can argue that the other way as well though, Imagine if we'd signed Revan and Bapaga on 2 or 3 year deals, and realised 6 months in that they weren't up to it. We've had our fair share of that scenario happening in recent years. If we get some new ones in soon (which I'm sure we will) and they turn out having a more positive effect, then the loan system could work in our favour.


Revan and Bapaga would probably be outside our wages budget in the first place.

Interesting then that one of Halifax’s fans commented earlier that he thought their manager would get more out of our players.


I was shocked when I googled Pete Wild the other week and realised he was only 38! I thought he was about 60! Wild looks like Chris Wilder’s older brother.

Which tells you everything that is wrong with the game at the moment.

Also interesting that their Manager said we are one of the best teams they've played this season, and that he expects us to be up near the top by the end of the season.

If PH did end up leaving (which I personally hope won't happen) then I do think Peter Wilde should be targetted for the job.

Yeah, I agree. So another + point of using loans.

I did read earlier today in the Sheffield Star that Wednesday wanted us to pay Hunt's full wages rather than a portion (which is what we had been paying) and that is why he's been sent back. I'm still clinging to the hope that there is some truth in the rumour that we tried to sign Hunt permanently, and that it might still happen.

Any evidence for that or is it just an assumption to support the same old arguement

It’s not an assumption. Youngsters signing their first contracts at Prem clubs are on as much as 5k a week.

Bagapaa is with a team just promoted from First division to championship and Revan is an 18 year old academy player. They wouldn’t have been here if they had full contracts with Premier League clubs.

There is plenty of evidence that academies are harbouring young players on astronomical wages that will never go on to play in their first team.

In fact I seem to recall Russell Slade saying he enquired about bringing one player in on loan and then he discovered how many thousands he earned every week.

Bapaga was driving a 71 plate Mercedes which he couldn't park the other week. It's hardly the kind of car you drive as a young pro trying to find your way in the game on £200 a week is it?

So it’s an assumption then
