Duncan McGuire is in Manchester. Hope he brought a coat, very different weather to Cancun.

Just a reminder that Tommy here had Duncan McGuire in Manchester when we now know he was on the other side of the Atlantic.

Surely this is the best option. Assess his ability and if we are keen come the end of the loan we can take up the sale at a pre-agreed price. Good business if true.

[roversfan99]

So we are likely to spend not a penny of the Wharton money. People will say we are wise waiting until the summer and that money will never materialise.

[TheRevAshton]

We gonna spend any money this window? Considering we've just got an awful lot of it...

Who am I kidding? Not a chance 😄

Can't fault a try before you buy. Makes me think another cash purchase is on its way 

Can fault a try and then not afford to buy though. That Wharton money is gone.

Wonder if Orlando can afford to sign Brekalo now it’s only a loan for McGuire

Why are we wasting money on a bang average striker from the mls anyway? Will he be any better than Gallagher doubt it. 

He’ll be on wages 1/5 Gally so easier to push Gally out and continue to cut the wage bill

Meh. Some were told yesterday, some this morning. I don't know. I don't have a tracking device in his mums purse.

Either way, he's finally on his way to Brockhall.

Exactly. 

If true. It'll never end up getting made permanent.

No wonder there was a hold up if we wanted to change it from being a £2.3m permanent move into a loan.

[Tugayisgod]

Hefty loan fee involved .....

Loan with option to buy... https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1753089809696911377?s=20

Yeah, why not sign a play who is from a League in the off season, for 4 months and pay them for the privilege... Sounds a smart decision 🥴

His stats ain't bad not far off 1 in 2

He also recently received his first call up to the United states squad who ain't that bad these days 

His record looks better when you look at his minutes played. A goal every 125 minutes. Will admit he looked a bit clumsy in the highlight reel

Looks to me like what the early morning rumours said. We are currently unable to sign anyone permanently for a fee and commit to any permanent contracts.

I bet that’s what happened with Ennis.

Can we not do anything right?

Hefty loan fee and now the option to buy him has gone up.

We are the absolute masters of fucking things up.

Ths deal says there is a big loan fee involved plus if we do decide to take up the option to sign him it will cost more than the £2.3m we were due to pay

WHERES THE WHARTON MONEY

The deal hasn’t even been announced officially yet and likely will be in instalments so not exactly going to get 18m up front. 

[DanielMB]

So another f****** loan deal. 

[Ricky]

Kiefer Moore to Ipswich on loan looks better business for them than Gallagher.

[Ghost7]

HA! The exact type of contract we struggle with. 

Still not having any of it. We are a shambles.

We're definitely not signing him permanently then. Why would we agree to a more expensive option than the fee we originally negotiated?

Madness but par for the course here I guess.
