Sordell seems like a good signing to me: pace, intelligence and higher league pedigree. The only question mark is over his fitness and whether he might be a bit similar to Morais in terms of style.
If Curle plays Sordell and Morais together up front, as others have said, we will have to abandon any kind of hoof ball approach and go for something based on slick passing and the counter-attack. Perhaps the new loanee midfielders have the quality to slip some through balls in. We will see.
On a wider point, I've got no problem with this loan approach. Clubs - least of all us - rarely get good value for money in January and we've made plenty of panic signings over the years which we've been lumbered with for a while. Curle's main objective is to keep us in the division and then build for next year. Hopefully the loans will give us a chance to 'try before we buy'.

I don't see our loanees being available for permanent transfers. Powell, Cox and Elsnik are all highly thought of by their parent clubs and are here for experience, Sordell is here to get fit and have game time following injury. The only possible odd one out is Goode who has dropped down the pecking order at Scunny. |

I agree - I doubt any of those players will be available to us after the loans finish . This window has been used to paper over the cracks until the end of the season . It will serve no purpose in building for next season - which is the worry for me . |

Actually, I think it does. It ensures we have spaces in the squad and budget available to snap up the players we want in the summer.

But that doesn't make a controversial statement...  |

So you mean the sky isn't falling in as some posters on here seem to believe?  There was never going to be any 'rebuilding' done over January, (the same for virtually all clubs in all leagues) but the selling of certain high-earners and the bringing in of suitable loanees to see us to the end of the season is phase 1 of the overall process and has helped to set the foundations for the beginning of a rebuild over the summer. |

Yet another misjudgement - at what point are you going to accept the Sky is actually falling in and we are not a top 7 side as you repeatedly insist . |

Not us that's for sure, we just got pumped yesterday 4-0 with one of the worst second half performances I've seen. Enjoy Tranmere you have a very strange taste in entertainment. |

If it was the entertainment on the field we were addicted to, we would have packed up many years ago... |

I must have missed the news about the new keeper that was definitely coming in ?
Must be a non contract player ......

According to Eddiex2 Carlise had a superb Window or at the very least he intimated it. |

And look where we are off the back of it - Just the 4 conceded on Saturday. Yes a lot was down to a poor defensive display, however had we had the Colchester keeper or O'Donnell or Ingram - that margin would have been smaller for sure! |

Nice bit of conjecture - for a start Ingram let in 5 against Oldham! Cu keeper was in the side having a poor run!5 |
