This must be one of the first seasons ever where we have had zero loan players

Can't help but think an extra two loan players (creative no. 10 and pacy winger) would've helped give us more attacking options.

It was clearly a strategy from Knapper and the ownership to not use any money on loan fees/wages. But it seems pretty short-sighted considering how lacking in creativity and pace our attack is looking now. Maybe Attanasio can answer that question tomorrow...
