I naturally sway to being against loan deals but then I think thank F**k we only loaned and not bought Cissokho and Moses.
Pros and cons.
Ha ha... I can see how that would scar you Wahs - then again; 'top clubs' very rarely lend other 'top clubs' their best players anyhow so what happened, with Cissokho and Moses, was hardly surprising [not that the same will happen with Manquillo, of course].
Had we bought (for e.g.) say, Guilherme Siqueira and Konoplayanko, instead of loaning Cissokho and Moses maybe the title would have been back home. Ifs, buts and maybes...
The problem I have [had] with loans are that they are, very often, the cheap option rather than the right one - i.e. instead of spending on Siqueira we saved money by loaning Cissokho.
For example (and only that); if we need a right-back and our scouts have deemed Manquillo as the best option 'out there', then surely the committee don't need to second guess them; surely they trust them? And if they don't trust their [own] judgement; well...
