Thought Smith-Row looked excellent when Huddersfield played us the other week, but don't know a lot about the rest.

Surprised he hasn’t mentioned Oliver Skipp who I think will be highly sought for this summer. Herbie Kane is also an option, one of the few bright sparks in that Hull side.

I've liked Smith Rowe when I've seen him, could potentially replace ejaria in the team, dont know much about the rest.
Not on loan but Richard Nartey seemed to do well at Burton last season, now been released by Chelsea, only 21 and played 25 times in league 1.

JLows just pulled 5 names put the air there really

Smith-Rowe would certainly be of interest if available though

James Garner? I'd rather have Jim Rockford.

Regarding Daniel Barlarser "....the 23-year-old .......is likely to need one final loan to complete his development".

At 23, I'd expect him to already be featuring at a higher level than League 1. He's older than Andy Rinomhota.

For the love of god can we please please stop with loans of premier league ‘up and comers‘. With the odd exception loans players rarely work out, and If they have been a success when they leave It leaves a gaping hole in that position. Next season how about we focus on our academy they we pour millions into each season and some bargain basement lower league players. Rather than some overpriced overpaid spotty teenager who doesn’t want to be here.

What about Jamaal breakthrough-loaner

Heard good things about him

The articles on getreading about RFC are, as you say normally based on very little.

Interesting list of names, young prem loan players can do a good job

Or if he comes with a 1970s Pontiac Firebird (in bronze if course)

Oliver Skipp has actually been linked to us as per the Evening Standard. Southampton, Forest and Fulham all very keen. Fulham are leading the race but any promotion will hinge the deal.

Josh Bowler aswell but he is an unusual situation in being released from Everton but he also was good for Hull this season did his best to fill the Bowen role.

From what I understand, Fulham are front runners for Skipp loan. However, Spurs would rather loan him to the Championship and see him get 40+ games under his belt, which is very unlikely if Fulham go up. So if Fulham go up, we have a chance but even then we'd be one of many options. Don't hold your breath; I still want to see Fulham fluff the playoffs.

Skipp would be a big coup. He's far too good for the Championship.

Yeah cannot see this happening at all. Spurs will want him playing Premier League football if possible, certainly wouldn't want him at a midtable Championship side I wouldn't have thought.

Depends though, they might think that playing week in, week out in the Championship will be better for his development rather than just sitting on the bench and getting a few minutes here and there for a premier league team that would be amongst the favourites to go down.

Yes, he would be training with better players but if that is the goal, he might as well stay at Spurs get a few minutes off the bench in the premier league and have a chance of playing in Europa league.

I know I will get the never go back comments but Baker would be great.

Other than that carter Vickers??

If that is the case, which it could be, then I think they will be looking for a Championship side that will be challenging for promotion. I'd obviously like him here but there are better clubs around who will be interested.

Presumably Mourinho will want him wherever Warnock is so he can learn the right brand of cheating anti-football.

Should be a good signing, if it comes off. Fulham aside, hopefully being near London may help attract him too
