Question you should ask yourself is would you take this guy over taking nobody? Because yes loan deals benefit the owner club but they also benefit the loaning club…that’s the way they are meant to work otherwise they wouldn’t exist.

I have already asserted on HOL that I envisage some loan signings.

At present,one of my concerns is the right-back position and another striker wouldn't go amiss.

Another way of looking at loan signings is that by signing a loan player it means we can potentially ease in our own youth players while the loan player does the heavy lifting, whereas a permanent signing represents a more permanent obstacle.

What I like most about Gallagher is his energy. We looked very sow and passive last season and we need more energy. He also has that terrier like quality of McArthur. My one criticism would be that he seemed to fall over at every opportunity.

I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.

Yes, good point the two young CM that started against Charlton looked useful, in a year they could be the business

Express report says that Gary Cahill is leaving Palace - is that for sure?
