1. We weren’t in for himWhich bit ??
2. He didn’t fit ‘the model’
And that term - ‘the model’ - is just lazy nonsense. You know the club signed Ayling don’t you? And Lenihan. And Smith.

Don’t say stuff like that, making sense and all.1. We weren’t in for him

I wouldn't have loaned them either. One difference though is that they are both out of contract in the summer so we may have brought them in with a view to them becoming permanent.So why doesn't that apply to Ayling and Thomas then?
Players who were contracted whilst in the PL?
Coburn, Lath, and Jones were injured and we knew that Rogers, Kav and Crooks were leaving, but then decided we didn't need a striker according to many on here as we weren't looking likely for promotion.
But happily loaned in Ayling and Thomas, and then loaned out Bilongo and Agyemang who could have covered for the injured Smith and Bangura if we were struggling through to the end of the season with what we had.
It just doesn't stack up as an excuse or reason, it's boIIocks.
Ayling was def getting signed as you say he’s free so why else would he come.I wouldn't have loaned them either. One difference though is that they are both out of contract in the summer so we may have brought them in with a view to them becoming permanent.

But that wouldn’t fit in with your Moore theory?Ayling was def getting signed as you say he’s free so why else would he come.
How do you know that. We should of shipped squad players out if promotion wasn't on the cards. You are talking about a window that opened on Jan 1st. So there is no point in signing a player who would improve us. We did need a lot more signings but did not get them either.He would've cost a lot and we would've still had the rest of the squad the same as it is so promotion wasn't on the cards. It would've been a waste of money (even though he would've improved us). We would've needed a lot more signings to improve us to make it financially worthwhile.
£30k a week.
Personally I don’t mind us not spending the money we appeared to have in January (assuming we had some, and we spend it in the summer), promotion was a real long shot so why waste it.
Please god no. And when they leave can they drop O'Brien and Greenwood off as well.I wouldn't have loaned them either. One difference though is that they are both out of contract in the summer so we may have brought them in with a view to them becoming permanent.
Fact?The club were not interested but he was touted. Not conjecture. Fact.
I’be loved us under Carrick and still do but that made me ask why?
Back in the day it was only a FACT if you spelled it 'FACT!!!!!!1'Oh ok, I take it back then now you’ve put FACT
I think hits the nail squarely on the head.I could understand if we identified a permanent signing…. But why waste a couple of million on a 6 month loan signing just so we can finish 9th rather than 13th
Ayling has started every league game since he joined us. He was signed to play as we knew that Smith was likely out for the whole season.Ayling was signed as cover. If Smith was fit he wouldn’t be at the club.
So exactly as I said. Ayling was signed to cover for Smith. He will not be at the club next season. He hasn’t done anywhere near enough to earn a contract. We’ll have Smith back to fitness and a new right in if Dijksteel leaves.Ayling has started every league game since he joined us.

I expect Dijksteel to start on Wednesday. If he doesn’t then I’d be pretty concerned tbh.
