Jay McEveley

The Daily Mail is reporting that Derby left-back, Jay McEveley is coming to the Valley on loan to shore up what has been a general weakness so far this season. McEveley played a big part in Derby's promotion season as well as last year's relegation from the Premier League. He has a couple of Scotland caps and at 23 years old still has considerable potential. 

We really need to settle on a first team and as well as some first reserves. We have had little continuity this season in any position. Lack of consistent form and injuries haven't helped and we are likely to be hindered by possible losses of loanees in the weeks ahead. In the unlikely event of signing a top-class striker on loan, you have to hope that McEe=veley will be the last , at least until January, if indeed this deal materialises.

Interesting to see no sign or mention of Heidar Helguson last night. Something's obviously happening because neither club are saying anything. My bet would be on Rangers falling back to the original loan period and everyone moving on. It wasn't as if he was needed in the QPR attack last night, what with Blackstock finishing two of the three chances they created.

  1. My concern is how many loanees we have, and agree that with their initial deals finishing over the next two months, where that exactly leaves us. Can you see our rivals agreeing to extensions IF we can get ourselves out of the mire we now find ourselves in? It wouldn't be in their best interests.

    The same goes for the Helguson deal. QPR could agree to the original deal just to keep him away from us...they can now afford to. And why would Bernie want to support his local club!
