Matt Cook / Loan Players for 09

Post by Steadman_4_PM » 10 Aug 2008, 21:15

Looking through where we'll be for 09, it does seem like we'll have a similar number of decent players as this year and make the rest up with kids / NL nobodies. Yes we've signed Chase and hopefully Widders, but once you add in the likes of Cockayne and Hudson then drop Donlan and Hendo, we're about where we are now.

So if there's no real chance of signing other SL players, might we do something similar with loan players as we did with Mason, Cook, Moore etc? I know their wages still count against the cap but none the less it seems the only way to add some numbers given most (if not all) of the off contract players for 09 will now already be sorted.

Personally I'd like to see Matt Cook back, thought he did well in what was a disjointed spell with us and looking at the Bulls 09 squad I fancy he'll be out of the frame. Morrison will be fit, Menzies will play, Burgess will be back and then you've got Solomona, Nero, Langley and Finnigan all probably ahead of Cook.

What's anyone think? Any other players you fancy might be available on loan?

Always thinking ahead Steady and although I'm not sure who or even whether we'll be trying for loan players, I am worried by your prediction that we'll have no greater quantity of 'quality' players than this term?

Loan signings should be a last resort for me if we truly are looking to build for the future. Perhaps we should make a permenent move for Cook?

cook could be on his way out of the club from what i got told the other day by a certain player for bradford.

nick scruton has supposed to have signed and they could be getting luke burgess.

i'd gladly have cook back at cas he is a big unit who would go well in our pack.

Personally i would rather have Luke Burgess.

But Matt Cooke when he was here did have a few solid games for us off the bench.

I don't believe hes good enough to start but a good option off the bence like he does at Bradford!

We offered Scruton a deal and so did Salford.

Leeds have only offered him a year. I think Burgess will stay there.

I think cook would be a good signing, he looked solid last time for us.

I would like to see us sign him - Forget about on loan -- He wont be on a great wage at Bradford and he would probably prefer to be playing -- He is a solid player and is still young - He is the kind of player we should be looking at bulking our squad up with

I heard Burgess may be on his way to join his brother at Bradford.
