Cov 77 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 8 minutes ago, Henry said: It really does seem pointless loaning players. I’d rather we kept going with Mehmeti, who’s actually our player. Never pointless to loan as Tammy and Matt Smith proved in the past , never likely to sign either, also looks like he plays on the other side to Mehmeti. Lets hope he does well , certainly has pace and had something for sure at Man City 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose tho that my thoughts are that Pearson used to say "no point bringing in us developing another teams player" so our strategy has now changed. A lot has been said about the path way etc and now by bringing this lad in on only a loan it's going to deny the likes of Bell and Mehmeti minutes and I'm not sure I like that strategy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 From transfer blog…. Dire Mebude (W) - [KVC Westerlo - Bristol City] - Loan I didn’t expect to be picking up Romaine Mundle vibes so soon after writing about him, yet here we are. Scotland youth international Dire Mebude is another who after an elite academy upbringing left the UK to start their senior career in Belgium. Leggy and powerful, Mebude is direct and attacks his full-back inside and out. But where does a direct wideman fit into Manning’s Bristol City? Where?

Engvall’s Splinter Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I’m interested to see how he fits in. We’ve shifted from a back 4 to back 3 with McCrorie as a wingback.

The right side is probably our strongest area of the pitch with Tanner, McCrorie and Sykes (to a degree Knight also). Unless we plan to mould him into the next Henry?

All opinions, though, innit. Agreed. The season is done (has been for a while now tbh, and was never likely to be anything other than a mid-table finish). It is therefore a bit odd on the face of it to sign a young lad on loan like this. I guess we have to assume that the Club are fully expecting to exercise that option to buy, and either move Bell on at the end of the season or keep both young right sided attackers here in order to strengthen the depth next season. As for Dire himself, I'd not heard of him nor KVC Westerlo until a few minutes ago so I have absolutely nothing to add as to how likely he is to beat success.
