Maybe time for Rooney to step up, he'll have taken some confidence from the Crawley game no doubt.

  Totally understand it from Paolo but equally if you are a potential loan signing but for a club who may be going into admin...i.e. all the uncertainty...then being honest I don't blame Martin either. ... At least he had the balls to tell PDC as opposed to Bostock....or so we're told.

  Oh yeah, nothing against the bloke wanting to leave, but as I say if he wants to leave then it's pointless trying to get him to stay. I don't see it as a massive loss from our point of view either, as he looked like he had the potential to come good for us but didn't make a massive impact in the time he was here, probably no need for the digs by Paolo but we know that's how he is.
  
  End of the day as a loan signing you wouldn't expect anything else as it works both ways - we'll give them a try hoping to give us a short term boost to the squad, and would be happy to send the player back if they didn't work out for us. The player hopes to get some regular football and maybe a deal, either at the loan club or elsewhere. Sometimes it works out for both parties, sometimes it doesn't. Like you say, if he didn't want to play for us at least he's been up front and prompt by saying so, we definitely don't need messing about when there's so much else going on. No hard feelings against the player anyway, it's not like we expect to sign every loan player on a permanent deal."
