In order to bring in players in January what loan players should we send back to their clubs. We can only play 5 loanees in a match we currently have 6

Perkins is a dead cert and possibly Hemming and Donley as well . Both have shown next to nothing.

There is a player in there with Perkins. You saw that with the lovely bit of skill to set up his goal yesterday. He must be showing it in training to get so many minutes.

The problem is we need better or we could get relegated.

Perkins has had 2 goal involvements per game since the start of November and people want to send him back? Madness.

Would rather keep the lot. Forde didn’t show much until December. We’re invested in these 6, may as well keep them if they want to stay.

We certainly don't need two loan keepers. That is just madness.

Send back Hemming
See how Perkins does in November/December, same with Donley

So many minutes?

I thought Donley was poor yesterday. Was given a good opportunity and didn’t take it. He should stand out against that opposition, like Galbraith. He didn’t.

I like the look of Keeley.

Kelley is far from ideal but looks like he’ll have to do for the season. Hopefully this will force us to reconsider our approach to arguably the most important position on the pitch.

Currie is a success but otherwise, the rest can go back.

Thought Currie was only here on 6 month loan.

You are kidding right? I think it should be the other way around.

Currie is season long loan

Seen enough of Hemming, he’s pi55 poor.
Think it’s worth seeing what Perkins/Donley can do, anyway, all academic as they’re here for the next few months at least anyway.

They’ll have him back, I expect.

I thought it was Donley.

Articles like that are part of the problem imo. Spurs fans building him up like some kind of new Messi based on U23 football. He needs to earn the right to play and hasn't shown enough in the harsh realities of first team football.

Take a leaf out of Harry Kane's book, work hard stay humble and keep improving.
