Day 185

Curtis Woodhouse returned with his loan player report for right-sided midfielders. Most of the ten players he found are well below the standard of my current first team, but I picked a few out to scout.

The evening brought reports that these few aren’t good enough either. The Birchall and Alberti deals mean way more to me now—they may be the only quality players I have a chance of signing this month.

Michael Richardson finished his loan spell with us today and returned to Newcastle. He told The Daily Mirror that he enjoyed his time at Lincoln, and he’s sad to leave. So why didn’t he agree to extend his loan? I put a new loan bid in for the midfielder, hoping that he’s had a change of heart rather than a case of verbal diarrhoea. [I’m so proud of myself for spelling diarrhoea correctly on the first attempt.]

Blackburn’s young goalkeeper Sebastian Usai rejected my offer to bring him on loan for the rest of the season. I’m disappointed, but I can hardly say I’m surprised. It would be a big drop in divisions for the lad.
