If we really wanted a permanent deal for Dion in this window then clearly we wouldn’t be willing to let him go this early on loan.

Huge 6 months for him, if he gets his head down in an environment with JE and thrives, I wouldn’t rule out him coming back to us next season.

He's not got a future at the club, he doesn't suit our style of play at all.
I'd imagine he's gone on loan because no one would pay for him, and we want to at least get his wages off the books and not have him hanging around, pissed off. Presumably an upgrade has been lined up.

He will never be good enough to play for us again.

Yep, found his level. Good luck to him.

With Sanderson leaving I wonder if we will bring in Neumann this month or look to bring in a different defender?

You'd think so, otherwise it leaves us light in the centre half department. Although CD has spoken about Sampsted being able to play as a 'hybrid centre half' and also Iwata has played there in the past...

Personally I'd rather us not piss about with this sort of stuff and get an actual centre half in. I don't think we can take the risk.

Personally, I don't mind it too much. If Neumann is coming in the summer then I'm sure we have more than enough to see us through the season, rather than us overpay for a player that might not be 'needed'. I'd rather see us strengthen up front in wide areas and in the 10 position rather than at centre half.

I get you, I'd have one on loan though if we don't sign a permanent.

The though of Sampsted or Iwata having to play there worries me.

It's a shame we don't have any youth players that could make a case to get some game time, Tommy Fogarty would be the closest but I believe he's out on loan?

Josh Home? He's made the squad a few times hasn't he?

This isn't like last season with Kevin Long, we have the means and PSR room (whatever it's called in this division) to replace same goes for Buchanan as well.

Let's not leave anything to chance.

Only made a handful of apps for Gateshead, not exactly the calibre of player we're used to seeing this season, especially in the CM department
Good move for Dion and I wish him well.
Blue since 67 - Will be there at the end of the road, whenever that may be!

I’d rather play with ten men than carry a Dion.

I'd say it's almost a certainty that we'll be bringing in a defender this January now.

Some of the more sensible types have been saying it'll be one in one out until the Summer and I don't see Davies potentially leaving us short.

Harry Darling would do nicely. Out of contact in the summer and chips in with a decent amount of goals for a CH.
