Great news on getting into work this morning, Simon Ferry's loan deal has been extended until the end of the season!
Town fans couldn't be blamed for worrying slightly that the squad might be looking a bit thin come January when our loan deals run out; Ben Hutchinson (Celtic), Simon Ferry (Celtic), Alex Revell (Southend). And with Tope Obadeyi heading back to the heady heights of the Premiership with Bolton earlier this month after we exhausted our loan extensions with him, it comes as great news that the pick of the loan bunch has signed on for the cause until the end of the season.
Ferry has been a hugely important addition to the team, instantly sparking a partnership with Jonathan Douglas in the centre of midfield, and holding the fort during the latter's 4 game ban. He's already picked up two (if my memory serves me correctly) Man of the Match awards during his time here. Admittedly these are picked by whoever has paid for the "executive seating", but lets not take anything away from the lad, he's put in some inspired performances and I'd be quite happy to say he's one of the best midfielders we've had at the club for a while.
The Swindon Advertiser are this morning rolling with an interview where Ferry states that he'd like to turn his loan deal into a permanent one. Ferry would gladly be welcomed permanently by us all I think, though Celtic fans on 606 say the 21 year old is highly regarded and he's being watched closely. Whether this view is reflected by current manager Tony Mowbray, and whether he will still be managed at the end of the season is yet to be seen. The water is not under the bridge and a lot can change between now and May.
And of course, there is still the 2 possible loan signings that Wilson mentioned. He said there was a possibility of getting one, maybe two new signings before our FA Cup trip to Wrexham on Saturday. With no news on that front I'm constantly refreshing web pages so if I bring the internet to a standstill I apologise, its for a good cause!!
See you in Wales!
