Herbie Kane signs

[StocktonRover]

Hope he turns out as good as that Tony woodcock guy we loaned from Forest many years ago

Was David Larmour a Liverpool loanee?

We signed him permanently. Promising young striker at the time who came through with Michael Owen. Richardson played him at right back and destroyed his career.

He had a great song, though.

  This signing reminded me of a post last week, which some other posters agreed with in a thread about our ability to sign players of a certain class.
  I left it a couple of days to see if the said posters would comment.
  The post went along the lines that now Fergie had left we would lose our contacts , and our ability to get loan players from the bigger premiership clubs because of Grants perceived less influence. Well that has been shot down.
  I will now set my stall out to be shot down, I think Grant McCann will have a better eye for a player, that remains to be seen, but I will nail my colours to his mast, he has not got a lot to beet.

Are there any L1 or L2 clubs that don’t take loan players?

Ferguson may have divided opinion with his tactics and selection but he signed us some very good players.
I think that was his main strength
Marquis, wright, lawlor, Mason, whiteman, Rowe, Anderson, Andrew,

Will all in my opinion play at a higher level and make us money

I would say divided opinion was an understatement!
