| McCallum Loan Signing Confirmed on 09:41 - Jul 13 with 1715 views | Myke | Sounds like a great addition. Even if Wallace maintained the form that he showed since Christmas, it would be unrealistic to expect him to be an ever-present. I hope Wallace starts the season though, I feel his form last year has earned him that right. With regard to Niko, I wonder would it be a good idea, to keep him around McCallum until Christmas, then say to him, 'This is what we expect from you, now go out on loan and do it and we will see how you progress'. The beauty of the long contract, is that we have plenty of time to see if he can kick on, or needs to be sold to a lower league club. With Dunne coming in, presume that Masterson will get some much needed game time out on loan. Hopefully he will be luckier than last season. All in all, some very good business being completed. |  | |  |

I'm really not sure Hamalainen can be given much more time. He's 24 now and has been at QPR for almost 7 years during which time he's played 29 games for the first team, been out on a couple of loans, and appeared for Finland 7 times. Yet he's never really looked like he can cut it in the Championship and that's why McCallum has been brought in. |  | |  |

Well he's got three seasons left on his contract, so we have to work out what to do with him. B team till Christmas or loan. His best loan by far was with Kilmarnock in the SPL. Maybe we could get him another at that level or maybe Gareth will do us a favour and take him for a while. |  | |  |

Yep, agreed. Perhaps another Scottish Championship club loan? His rather timid approach to defending may not suit the rough and tumble of L1. There again I'm sure there are plenty of 'hairy arsed' (© Clive) players in Scotland as well! |  | |  |
| McCallum Loan Signing Confirmed on 13:16 - Jul 13 with 1234 views | rsonist | Reading about George Cox's journey the thought occurred that a loan to the Dutch league would be ideal for Hamalainen too, if we're to extract any value out of him. |  | |  |
| McCallum Loan Signing Confirmed on 10:27 - Jul 14 with 1021 views | BazzeR | Yesterday I was under the impression that players under the age of 23 were not required to be named in 25 man squad. This is incorrect as reading up on EFL rules it states only U21 yr olds are eligible to play without being named. This is not the case with players such as Sam McCallum as they have to be included in original 25 due to being a loan player. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
