it depends on the individual loan;- i.e it is an agreement between the 2 clubs on a loan by loan basis.

We could do with cover for Kay at left wing-back. I had hoped that would be Burns but (merely speculating) he might have wanted to go back home for personal/family reasons so that's fair enough, best of luck to the lad. Hope he tears it up at Glentoran and comes back next year eager to impress and in a good place.

Otherwise the only thing we are lacking squad-wise is one quality midfielder to play alongside Mike Jones and Hardcastle. Goalkeeping and defensive options are excellent. If Baker-Richardson is any good (looks promising) then forward options now look decent too. One creative or strong box-to-box midfielder added and I'll be very happy.

A couple of promising younger players could go out on loan for first team experience. Moloney and Wilson make the most sense. Wilson has done well in his appearances but we are extremely strong there (Brough and Ntlhe both left-sided CB options when fit).

Dunn has the ingredients to bring about a positive season. Some of the signings (both Jones', Zouma, Ntlhe) look very good. If Gribbin toughens up a bit and is managed correctly he has the potential to be a superstar at this level, it'll be interesting to see if Dunn can solve that puzzle.

Jamie Devitt mentioned by name in Dunn's RC interview apparently.

Type of player we need. A no.10 who can thread a pass.

Sort of; the blurb on Twitter is very misleading. Would be a good signing though

Would be a good signing if we can pull it off. Could be a good mentor for Gribbin aswell

Will Buckley and Danny Graham are both still free agents and so is Hope Akpan probably all want higher wages but all better than what we have

Danny Graham's back at Sunderland.

Fairly sure Hope Akpan was being kept out of Bradford's team by Chris Taylor.

Let's hope we get Devitt and he's the key to our midfield....

Most recent articles & fans of the clubs he’s played for say he has been out injured for 12/18 months, So it will be a gamble bringing him here.


I just want us to win a game of football

Well we'll know by Friday what our final squad is. Im hoping no bids come in for our top players but a linchpin midfielder who wants to run the team would be nice. Lets face it, we'll be lucky to have everyone fit all season so all the players will get a chance. Im sure once DD gets his best 11 on the field then results will come...

Jamie Devitt signing for Newport according to EFL twitter site.

Theres still a lot of players without clubs, not saying they'll be the best but possibly some decent ones who will have to reduce their pay demands if they want a club and the higher league teams who want players out on loan so come Friday I'd hope we are in with a shout with 1 or 2 good players which will booster our squad.
