There's a lad that's been at Crewe, Joe White, who they seem to rave about. I think he's on loan and they've just brought in a similar type of player...

According to Alan Nixon us and Exeter are bidding for Jake Young at Bradford. Was prolific in first half of the season on loan at Swindon and looking at a six figure fee for him.

Now he is the kind of player i really like the idea of us going for,will cost a decent fee and a sell on probably but at 22 has the potential maybe to become saleable he did come here and continued his league 2 form

6ft 1  attacking midfielder on loan from Newcastle Utd

He's done well at Swindon, you'd think more teams than us and Exeter would be keen, especially at 22 year old

I agree Rob  , Loft's goal tally is woeful and it's not going to get any better no matter how many more games he plays because for me he non league standard . 

 

I don't want to bash the guy too much. He tries and perhaps he can still turn things around. But I'm just not sure what his strengths are. For such a big lad he's not particularly strong and doesn't win as many headers as he should. If he was 21 my opinion would be different, but he's 26 and not far from what should be his peak.

It would make a refreshing change if we could get a player like that who has shown a lot of promise in league 2

Is Kian Harret getting game time at Huddersfield cos if not be a good addition to the team  if he's made available .

And, based on my very minimal Googling, no serious injury record!

From the interview Flitcroft did with Baggers for the Valiant he did say one of the things they were going to look at in this window was a "box finisher" as he called it which Young seems to be. Potential resale value in there too it does seem a signing that could tie in with how we want to do things.

Bradford City are an enigma. Clearly are a bigger and better supported club than Port Vale. But massively under achieving in L2. Surely, they want to assemble a promotion team. If they are going to sell a goal scorer they should only do so for a large fee. Bradford's average attendance is 17,855 this season.

He picked up a bad injury, I believe he is out until next month at the earliest

Despite what their manager says he might not feature in his plans going forward or it could be that the player wants a move(not sure of his contract situation).

One thing for sure though is that if we signed him then it would knock the theory that we are skint on the head

I heard it was a hareline fracture.
