I'm not impressed because it's another loan. In an area we need to be shipping players out of, if it was a permanent i'd see the value in it but if this guy does well he's off

Plus who is the last player to do really well for us on loan?

3rd loan, Ejaria, Coulibaly and Sadiq?

I did just watch the Youtube clip, more pleased now as he looks a talent but would really hope we have a buy out clause in there so we can benefit if he kicks on.

I can see where your coming from Ronald. for example, Getting sadiq in and developing him instead of playing say hardie or rudden and developing our own.

It a fine balancing act for managers

depends how good he is surely, on one hand u will develop him but he might end up being a cracking player for a year and helping u win a trophy, a player u otherwise would not get.

like us with roberts, i get the feeling i'll be watchin him one day and thinking "can't believe we had him"

Yep that’s what makes it a balancing act for the managers. If they are average then fans would rather see one of the youngsters but if he’s great then obviously aren’t as bothered

Time will tell if these loans are any better or not

I suspect they will be tbh

when deila came in we bought 1 player and then had 5 loans, which i thought was stupid because it was just delaying rebuilding and showed no faith in the managers judgement at an early stage

this is a bit different, 3 out of 9 aint bad, heck we had at least 3 on loan last season.

Ronald - the name , what’s going on there?

Wouldn’t mind another centre half and experienced striker.....

I’m a lot more optimistic going into this season than the previous two.

Competitions for places and we look bigger, stronger and fitter.

Hopefully no pumping's in OF games this season.

The guys at some diddy club in France, if there's any possibility he's going to be top class there better be a buyout fee, even if it's over what we might actually pay say 5m.

I'd ideally want the security there knowing if he has a top season and a team want to snap him up and are willing to pay 10-15m we can make a quick profit having given him the opportunity on a bigger stage.

I can’t get too optimistic these days as a bear. It’s not worth it

The options on the bench on Friday night were Jack, Docherty and Halliday. That in itself shows we need some extra quality in the middle of the pitch as none of them are of the required standard imo.

If Rossiter could get fit then he'd be another decent option to add.

This guy should be a shrewd signing, even only on a loan for a year.

Isn’t Coulibaly surplus to requirements at angers? If he’s top class I’d imagine he would be playing for said Diddy team instead of coming on loan to us ?!?

Any possibility he's going to be top class, if he was top class we won't be in the discussion.

Seems more like we are being used as a shop window.

Time will tell I suppose . I’m just not convinced he’s going to be a superstar coming on loan from a smaller French team. But he doesn’t need to be a superstar to cut it in Scotland

Fookin unbelievable ....slagging players with little or no knowledge of the player. He's come from a league which is a better standard than SPFL ! Give the guys a chance

Think most will give him a chance

And let’s be honest, Pena and Herrera came from a better league than the spfl

Guarantees heehaw sadly.

I expect both will do a job

Some of you must have been gutted when we signed Katic....never heard of him AND from a Diddy league !

I think you’ve missed the jist of the points tbh
