Anyone any ideas who Gomes is hoping to sign to release ILori?

Indeed. Must mean Ilori is on his way, still need that left-back mind.

Decent international experience, decent loan spells in Europe.

I’m not a great fan of packing a team full of loans. Our 106 side was particularly special because it wasn’t based on using other people’s players.
I understand Gomes has a short term objective and this is probably the most realistic way of achieving it. Would be nice to know if any of the deals have a buy option should we stay up.

decent enough from the look of it. 6ft 4, about 100 appearances at a decent level - mainly for Vitesse. 11 full appearances for the US

Can't argue too much with it. Looks of decent quality. Big ask to now get 5 new players into the side and all playing together though

how many loan players can you field at one time?

Edit: found it - In the EFL, clubs are permitted to have eight players on loan. However, only a maximum of five can be included in a matchday squad.

Baker and Miazaga already have plenty of games together, and Swift already knew Baker so it’s helped a little bit.

You could argue that for 18 months players have’t been playing together so perhaps taking the best half of the old team and adding 5 better players gives as much chance of getting some cohesion than trying to break the bad habits of the old guard. The new guys don’t have the losing mentality ingrained....

In other words we won’t be signing any other loan players this window !

yep fair comment. Again goes back to all these players having a big point to prove, none can keep coasting in U23 teams

Looks good on the youtube vid - very similar to Ilori tbh. Good with the ball at his feet but better in the air. Not as quick. Hopefully doesn't drop a boll0ck every game

I like this signing. Seen him several times playing for USMNT and he can play. Has done well against formidable national team opponents.

How well has he done exactly? Was in a USMNT group that were embarrassed in the last World Cup qualification campaign. They also only have to play against Mexico, how formidable are Trinidad and Tobago exactly?

Not a problem until Eza gets fit again. Should he ever be fit again.
