Hearing some rumblings about a talented defensive midfielder who plays for Serbia under 20s joining us on loan from Tottingham. Apparently, he is quite good.

Milos Veljkovic - handy defensive player.

We badly need defensive cover and this young lad can play defence or defensive mf. Bellusci will no doubt have suspensions to serve due to his reckless tackling and we are short if Adeyemi gets Crocker. A no brained move if it's true.

Should read crocked and no brainer fanned predictive text.

Good game at the weekend, nice to be back in the cop cheering on the lads.

I heard we are looking more into potential central cover but got the impression it might be someone more experienced.

Looks like this is going to fall through. They want us to take him till Jan with guaranteed playing time we want an initial 1 month loan with the option to extend and no guarantee of first team.
Dont see the point to this one anyway myself. We need a first team defender to start/challenge for starts alongside Bamba, we already have cover with Cooper and Wootton, and if we wanted him as cover for def mid we have Murphy and Bianchi coming back soon as well as Philips (If Cook drops back) so we are fine there too. If Liam Moore is still on the cards that would make more sense, Veljkovic would just be another Del Fabro.
If we are going to take youngsters on loan it should be in areas we are short (Such as City winger Barker), that way we improve our depth and they have a realistic shot at some first team football.

Good post Gummie. What's interesting is arguably correct use of loan market could so easily mean difference in securing playoff spot or not. Whereas in yesteryears loans were to cure a flagging side and season. I'd love to see this Serb arrive along with Barker. Regarding Spurs, they being a bit greedy. This boy would probably be ahead of Cooper and Wooton meaning he would get fair amount of playing time given we'd also have him as cover for Adeyemi. His versatility would be a real asset. Spurs know this so they are being awkward.

Agree, great post Gummie.

I would like to see further wide options brought in on loan I would take Jerome Thomas back if he were able to perform to a similar standard.
