Guirassy and Abraham for under £50m would do for me.

Sir Alex Ferguson: Manchester United did not sign Carlos Tevez permanently because he wanted to retire in 2013 | Goal.com UK
Red Devils boss reveals that the former Boca Juniors hitman had told the club that he wanted to call time on his career in due course, and now believe

That’s my point - he’s signs for free a few months after the window shuts
Pretty Sure Ange said recently Skipp is someone he wants to keep around ?
In the ENIC thread you were saying that we need to show ambition by spending money yet you want to sign a player on loan so that another club benefits from it.
You're clearly confused, this is why I said the fanbase has no idea what they want.
Liked this video on who is better Gimenez or Gyokeres
Gimenez sounds more like an Ange striker tbh and was surprised how good his metrics were (warning it’s a Chelsea fan)

Thanks, but reading is also free. The loan was from 2007 due to his third party ownership setup, this article is referring to 2009 and why they didn't sign him at the end of his loan.
But apart from Tevez they've had countless loans and one year contracts - Ighalo, Sabitzer, Weghorst, Reguilon, Amrabat.
I do agree it's not a strategy for long term improvement of the squad though.
Which is my point
And Utd obviously aren't a small club but their transfer strategy is in the pits, trying to cover shortfalls all the time so they're not the best example anyway.
Anyway Ximons on loan is a shit idea.
He’s chatting shit and he knows it.
Was probably hoping you wouldn’t check the dates back and he could blag it
You were a shit ideaWhich is my point

Funny how you ignored this post because you know you've contradicted yourself in the space of 24 hours.
Maybe next time you shouldn't be so quick to call out others for lacking ambition when you lack ambition yourself
kingdawson
was right you speak a load of bollocks and try and cover it up with more bollocks.
Alright, but that's not "up" though, it's dwindling, "up" generally means finished which it isn't (sadly).
Realistically too, the club is going to want something like £10m still, I'd happily see the back of him for a packet of crisps and some training cones but the club will see it differently.
Can’t pretend I’ve ever watched a minute of him play, but being better at hold up play is a necessity.
That, alone, will help our midfield so much.
Also, depending on the fees quoted, I still think Toney is on the list.

Its TFC way

You said small clubs do loans.
I referenced examples of us, Man UTD and Odourguard to Woolwich,
As much as we hate to admit it, the dry loan of Odourguard has been a massive success for the scum, which essentially proves that a loan can be good transfer policy.
You were chatting shit about only small clubs doing it and you are chatting shit that it is lacking in ambition to do loans because they are loans.
Drag other posters in as allies if you like. Doesn't change the fact you are chatting shit.
Okay Richard, small clubs don't do loans you're right it was a lazy analysis and I was wrong.
The point is though that clubs with a strategy or trying to get somewhere don't use the loan market and you can use the anomaly of Odegaard and the basket case club Man Utd all you want, look at conduct of transfers around Europe, how many dry loans do you see happening especially in the Premier League?
Not many right...and what do you think the reason that is?
Now please don't try and do your usual shit and deflect by speaking more bollocks trying to cover the crap you already spouted, just own the fact that you got it wrong and your thought process is fucked up because when it's coming from other posters you know you have a problem
Don't worry mate, it's okay to be wrong, you feel much better when you own it.
Would you agree with the Higuain comp from the video I posted just a few posts ago?
The thing for me that made me curious was the idea that Gimenez can hold up and bring players in but he doesn't need touches to be dangerous. He sounds like an Ange striker who makes runs, occupies defenders with movement, and then finishes clinically.
Fair enough on admitting you were wrong.Okay Richard, small clubs don't do loans you're right it was a lazy analysis and I was wrong.

I'll give you this, as a general rule, loans benefit the club that owns the player and aren't a good policy long term.
But as with the Odourguard case, there are exceptions. IMO Simons on loan would be an exception because of how good he is and how good he could help us be for a season whilst we have more money for other game-changing talent.
Simons - free loan
Elite CF
Elite #6
or
Average 8/10
Average CF
Average #6
And that's before we also need a winger and defenders to compete for LCB and RB.
The only way it benefits us (like Odegaard) is if we sign him on a permanent transfer after, if not then it's not really comparable.
It also benefitted them during the time they had him on loan. Then the player decided he liked it there and wanted to stay.
That could easily happen with Simons.
