Free agent list for central midfielders is dire... Josh Onomah or Matty Longstaff anyone...?
Didn't think so...
It'll have to be a loan then.
Doubt we'd go for an academy player this late on in the year. Brighton recalled Weir as soon as it was apparent he was surplus and players like Dan Gore are going to go to clubs who guarantee playing time.
Perhaps an out of favor Championship midfielder on loan then?
Ebou Adams from Cardiff? Andy King from Bristol City? Jay Matete from Sunderland? Dominic Ball from Ipswich?
Most of those are unlikely as I'm sure their clubs will want them at a minimum starting every game.
So the question is who would be willing to loan us a player that is almost assuredly going to be a squad depth piece?
Permanent deals are definitely off the table as whoever we're dealing with will charge a premium.
Carlisle are 10 points adrift and almost assuredly down, but doubt they'd let go of Moxon for less than 500k, which isn't a bad deal IMO, but wouldn't be good value when he'll be a free in 6 months.
Interested to see what rabbits the club pull out of their hat.
