Players out on loan-possibly

[Resu]

Liverpool.no reports that Paletta could be loaned out to Gimnastico in Spain for the rest of the season. There is a posibilty that Diao might head in the same direction.


Both loans sounds good to me, Paletta needs the experience and Diao needs to stay away from Liverpool.

Sounds good to me, Paletta needs some serious time to adjust to Europe and English football, 5months in Spain would help, followed by may be a years loan to a Premiership Club next year.

Diao can stay in Stoke for all I care.

I'd also send Anderson out to a Championship club, maybe back to Hull?

If we get a central midfielder in, then let Guthrie get some decent experience, probably Championship again.

I went to a stoke game with a mate who's a fan the other day, and they love Diao there. Seems like he's found his level. The club would like to keep him, so if he isn't going to be sold he could well stay put, unless they don't have the money.

Not on the wages he is reportedly on at Liverpool.

Yes but he's only got 6 months of those wages left, so he might just want to cut his loses and stay there. I imagine we'll extend his lone stay till the end of the year, at which point Stoke can have him for nuthin.

I'd be a little worried with only three central defenders available - unless Rafa reckons that Antwi or Hobbs would do as good a job as Paletta.

Neither of those lads are ready for the first team. Neill would provide good cover for central defence though

[mersey86]

Yes. Didn't think of that.
