    I understand it’s a rumour so not dissing you for positing it, but the kid looks about 8 years old if you go on his profile. Don’t think it’s true unfortunately

    Absolute rubbish. £10m - everybody knows we are in the £20m+ bracket now. Why would we start signing budget players?

    Carrying on the Welsh connection, Andy King is likely to be released from his loan at Rangers.

    Kayal’s loan expected to be terminated and potentially Leko’s as well.

    To be expected really. Wasting loan spots and wages if they're not going to be back for months.
  • Wonder if that means Field may not be out for too long. Fingers crossed

    If Leko isn’t out for longer than a couple of months I would keep him and hopefully we can afford to sign another striker. We definitely need 3 but with Leko, Hemed and Aneke on top that would be enough.

    With Kayal being sent back and possibly Leko, if the injury is serious, maybe a double loan swoop from Liverpool for Herbie Kane and Rhian Brewster?

    Brewster was the first name that came to me as a Leko replacement - Will be very good if we pull it off as your gonna have a lot of clubs further up the league chasing him

    Herbie Kane I'd be very surprised if he didnt go out on loan and would be even more surprised if it was to a side lower than the Championship
  • The young Tottenham striker Troy Parrott would possibly be on our list for a loan if Leko goes.

    Also, he can’t spell rumour.

    If Leko and Taylor go then it leaves Bonne as our only forward unless Davison is going to get more game time.

    I don't see the need for Leko's deal to be terminated though, as long as WBA don't have a clause saying we can't have more than 5 loanees

    If he comes back in March, the chances our that if we have 5 other loan players at least one will be injured or needed less at that point anyway

    Weren't the new owners interested in buying Leko in January?

    Disagree. If he wont be fit till March then not only are we paying his wages but he takes a loan space up for someone who is fit and able to play. With the injury problems we have had we need as many fit players as possible.
  • Leko has done well during his time at Charlton. As long as the number add up financially would be pleased to see him stay, or join us permanently. A good place who Bowyer can get the best out of.

    This. No reason we can't then come back for Leko in the summer maybe as a permanent.

    If he's not in the squad, hes not taking a spot

    I'd sign Leko permanently if he's in budget, even if he's not back til March, he's definitely good enough for a promotion push next season.

    He's not taking a spot as we can have as many loan players in the squad as we like

    The wages might be more of an issue, but then I've no idea what percentage of his wages we are paying. IF the management are keen on signing him, then sending him back is hardly sending much support to the player

    Promotion push from what division?
  • Send Leko back, get a discounted price because he is injured sign him in January for 3.5m

    Use that loan space to bring someone in. 

    Blimey, I never knew I could be a director of football

    Harsh on Leko, but actually glad we didn't spend a few mil on him, only to see him get injured on the 1st Feb.

    You can have up to 8 loan players at a time but only 5 in the 18 man squad IIRC.

    Currently four out of five are injured.

    The problem with having 8 loans is the loaning club won't be happy.

    Leko has 5 goals and 6 assists he'll be a big loss imo. 
    He gets so much stick from the guys around me, very very underrated! He is the scapegoat despite scoring some important goals and some very important assists!!
