skinny arab Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 What are people’s thoughts on the loan players we have, keep for rest of season or bin now if possible? Bolton showed early promise but has been a disappointment though in his defence switching between right mid and wingback has done him no favours. With no McMullan he is one of the few options we have to play wide when we switch to 4-4-2. McNulty has shown flashes of being a quality player and has more pace than any of the other forwards we have but he is not the type of striker we need with our current style of play and if we could replace him with a decent target man I think it should be considered. Also last 2 games have saw him booked for deliberately kicking the ball away after play has been stopped, given his history these are very stupid bookings to pick up and hopefully the reason for them is nothing more than frustration/stupidity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McNulty is decent and we should keep him to the end of the season. Bolton is average, if we can get a winger thats capable of a cross then I'd not worry about him going. He is versatile but we need better to progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNulty's excellent and Bolton was probably our best player at the start of the season although the current system doesn't suit him. I don't think it would make any sense to ditch either of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would make any sense to ditch either of them. Bolton was at no point our best player. At the start of the season Jamie Robson, for example, was playing better on the opposite flank. If Bolton was available for free and for a reasonable wage, I might be inclined to sign him, but I have no earthly idea how he is still on the books of Man City at the age of 21. McNulty defo worth hanging onto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I like Mcnulty, very clever player and one i would keep until his loan is up. Bolton started off well but has failed to live up to expectation and should be punted back down the road with our young loanees all back at the club now. Id rather take a punt on one of them than have him sitting on the bench not contributing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie O'brien (remember him?) played for Juventus ffs. Means nothing. Just filler players for the academy. Bolton is a bottom 6 Scottish Premiership player, reasonably solid and certainly nothing spectacular. At 21 he can certainly improve but we should be looking for better imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to say, I'm not really in the Sporle fan club. He's ok, but that's about it. I'd play him more on the basis that I'd play 442 more and he's probably the best fit there, but with 3 at the back Robson is well ahead and 433 I'd prob play McNulty and Appere wide left before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Still, you get the point. These mega clubs sign up all these 15/16 year old kids that have any sort of talent, give the 5 year deals on wages our club couldnt dream of matching and about 0.5% will go on to make it. Or pinch them off clubs for pennies when they are breaking through. Scott Banks and Kieran Freeman for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
