Wasn't that striker we had from Derby, who scored at Orient, and then ended up playing in the europa league for someone Slovenian or maybe slovakian?

Looks a good signing to me .
At least he has plenty of first team experience .
We are obviously treading water until the end of the season.

The Serbian Prijovic is who your thinking of.

Is he another left sided player - that would mean 3 loans in that position?

No, we can't compete with anyone half decent in L2, hence the fire sale with more outgoings more probable than any incomings...

Wheeler is a quality player who has gone to MK...why would he have wanted to come to us in our current state anyway?

It's imperative we stay up so that a more manageable budget can be spent wisely by KC in the Summer...

I was commenting on those who were saying the quality is not there this time of year. It is if your willing to pay for it

Agree. Jan is always a sellers market with clubs paying over the odds.....

To be fair, this is a very decent loan signing for us imo...

Played plenty of L2 games already & highly rated by both Swindon & Mansfield fans...

Central midfielder according to wiki. Attacking midfielder according to his Derby profile and his interview when explaining his best position. Powell said he could play in the same position but also on either wing.

He appears to be well thought of at Stags. By the way I thought he was quick.

Ha - I think the signings are all positive but what I meant by my comment was that they are short term fixes and not a build for next season.
I understand why - because it’s better to sign players permanently in the summer when contracts are up .
Fair enough.
At least it’s something to look forward to for tomorrow’s game.
Still no keeper though Clarence ?

This lad sounds like he's got some pedigree at this level, and in my mind is a bit of a 'coup' given we are playing roulette on the 50p table.

Good work by Kieth by the sounds of it. Im optimistic that he wont be too far off of Crookes ability level, and maybe he could be a tad more consistent. Both signings this week should hopefully make us more creative, be stronger off of the bench and help win us enough games to see us through what has been a very frustrating campaign.

Im not bothered about whether we are bringing in loans or permanent players; if its any of the latter they need to be short term fixes (contract until the end of the season) or a signing that will give us some hope moving forward. Unlikely to happen this month (latter), but I live in hope!

Seem to be well covered now for Attacking midfielders, esp with the emergence of Bridge in the last few weeks... but the balance of the team is still not right (hasn't been since Wilder). Hopefully it will get resolved properly in the summer.

For the short term we need someone with a bit more grit, muscle and fight in midfield (ala Jason Taylor) as well as up front.
A CB would be good too but don't think we'll see that unless we can shift someone out (Taylor/Facey).

GK isn't a priority this window as Cornell is good enough at this level and if he got injured we would still be able to bring in an emergency loan.

Would keep Taylor - was good and will come good!

With the play-offs seemings out of reach, Curle's remit consists of three key dimensions IMO:

1. Reach the 50+ point total which is normally sufficient to stay in the division
2. Start shaping the squad for next season
3. Continue to develop Williams, Pollock and McWilliams X2 and other promising youngsters


Given these priorities, I think this policy of signing loanees with potential makes a lot of sense.

There's no point in making eye-catching Van Veen type expensive signings unless they have the character and ability to genuinely improve us in the long term.

As others have said, what we need long term is a more balanced squad. For instance, Powell aside, we haven't had anything resembling a winger since Ariyibi and I'd say you need that option in the squad even just to provide a variation on 3-5-2.

If we're going to play 3-5-2 in the long-term - and Curle's history says we probably will - he will need particularly to start developing Facey into a proper right-wing back (or if this can't be done start scouting around for a summer alternative). I think Cox will be a good short term option as left wing back, and hopefully some of these loanees have been signed with a view to permanent deals. He also needs to get the balance in the midfield right and see if he can get the best out of John Joe when he returns.

Williams and Morais are decent but we probably need another striker long-term. Again though, I'd rather the club took their time on this rather than paying over the odds for the wrong character.

Not sure what he offers that A Williams doesn’t, doesn’t seem a worthwhile signing.
