I think you have people aren't moaning about the lad himself. Its the fact that it will once again be a no win loan for us as we all know if he is any good he disapears back to boro to be loaned out to league one or someone with money. If he isn't any good we probobly disapear out of the cup and down the league a bit more. Now if he was good and there was a chance we could sign him great but boro have a history of not giving us this opportunity.
Im sorry but the facts dont support your argument.
Burgess played a full season for us, he kept coming to games to watch even when he was injured. He said himself he was interested in signing for us if things didnt work out at the Boro, and he's currently playing for a team in this league.
Dolan also played a load of games, and also would have signed for us full time. I believe he is also playing at this level now.
Williams is probably the only one of the three we didnt have the opportunity to sign, but to suggest they were no win signings for us ? Thats a crazy thing to say. If those lads hadnt played for Pools when they did, we would be in The Conference now.
One surprising fact about Williams at pools was that we only won two of the seven games he was here. I presume he was only here a month.
