We currently have 4 loanees at the club , all of whom would cost big money in Scottish terms, one on an option to buy , one on an obligation to buy and two who there is no deal pre agreed .

Who should we keep ?

We are obligated to buy Diomande who has shown some good stuff and some poor stuff too, not that impressed to be honest but looks as if he could be a player.
Option to buy Cortes , I think I would keep him , he showed good pace , skill and attitude before his injury .If he recovers totally he would be a good signing.

Of the other two , I definitely wouldn`t pay the money Wolves would want for Silva , he`s been a big disappointment every where he has gone including us , we could get better for less money .
Sima is a question mark for me , at times he looks brilliant but other times he has such a poor first touch that he looks like a totally different player . I wonder if there is a possibility of another loan for him .

Thoughts ?

Silva is an example of how profligate EPL spending had become...£35 mill for him!?...based on what I've seen,£1.5 mill tops,for potential only.Let him go. Diomande, lightweight,can't get involved in games,let him go,Cortes deserves a chance due to his injury,but not seen anything exceptional there.Sima I would keep,play him through the middle as a main striker.

Cortes looked promising before injury and could probably get him for a decent price so would take a chance on him

Silva works hard but not good enough and would be too expensive so sent him back

Diomande is just too weak to play SPl, try send him back if we can

Sima, maybe but only if we could get him for cheap. Needs to be more consistent though

Silva tries hard and has some pace & technique but is just not making a good enough contribution in terms of assists/goals so unless they are gonna give him to us for peanuts (with a peanut wage) then it's a no from me.

Sima has shown a lot in his first season here. Physically very good with scary pace and strength. And unlike Silva, he has contributed well with goals and assists so if we can negotiate a deal that isn't too steep (both in terms of fee & wage) then I'd be happy to see him signed up.

Diomande has a lot of talent but has some rough edges which I think would be coached out of him. He can be very careless in possession though and I've been disappointed with his poor energy levels (especially in recent weeks.... linked to fasting/Ramadan maybe?)
If fitness and slackness can be sorted, I think he will be a very good player for us.

Cortes looked very good (although over a relatively short space of time) with good attitude, pace and technique. Decent goal/ assist contribution too. I'd definitely be looking to sign him up permanently.

Not sure about Sima through the middle as the main striker , his hold up play is not that great and his finishing inconsistent although he scores some great goals .His pace is an asset but when do we ever play teams that defend high enough to leave space behind ? Much prefer him coming off the left onto his right foot , where hopefully he is played on Sunday .Now that he and other natural wingers are fit Silva should either be restored as main striker or more likely , benched .
At times Sima looks like he would be a fabulous buy but he needs to be more consistent .Unless Cortes can play on the right I wouldn`t sign both of them , if he can though , add a decent striker and we would be really dangerous.

Another case if "we'll never know until we try".If his hold up play isn't up to scratch,maybe his goals ratio will make up for it.Silva is never a main striker in but I do like fact that he does usually cover his defensive duties.

Depends how much money Brighton want for Sima, wouldn't want us to blow a large proportion of our transfer budget on him, other than that no one, unless we can negotiate another loan for Cortes, our history of signing players coming back from injury should make us take a cautious approach.

Diomande is a work in progress as Cortes but young and have a sell on,Sima has missed alot of chances aswell and not worth 7m,Silva
must be in Mendes the agents camp ffs 35m,a would tell players that want to play at Ibrox to check the club out and don't bring a baw bag agent wae you bring your maw,these fckers are a plaque and a wouldn't entertain the bams.Plenty players don't use them once you've seen a contract the next one is the same with different numbers in the mafia are hanging out clubs so tell them to fck off,big sign at the staircase no thieves allowed and no free seats let the highly paid players pay for their guests, RANT OVER but it's true haven't been on because this laptop is fcking as annoying as they mhanky cnt's in am hopeless wae technolgy in spelling lol.
