Yes Matt and Peterborough also have a record of also buying non-league players who become complete failures and return. One played for Barnet against us last week. If Kabongo is their player how can we be loaning him out? We can't loan Paul Mullin out from Wrexham can we? The Posh have got a history of wide-boy deals. They are taking a punt they hope will pay off and they'll have last season's Tshimanga. They are the market-traders of the EFL. Check the label.

It's a way of signing a player on transfer deadline day quickly or if a team doesn't have the money upfront right away. So they will get that player on loan and then have an obligation to sign the player in the summer transfer window. There was 1-2 transfers like that this transfer window. We have loaned out Tshimanga to Peterborough with Peterborough having an obligation to sign him in the summer, so he's no longer a Chesterfield player because we can't recall him like we could where a player would just go on loan.

To answer your Paul Mullin question. Yes if we tried to get him on loan and Wrexham agreed. There is nothing to stop us signing him now outright if we made a bid and Wrexham accepted it because in Non-League there is no transfer window but a cut off point of signing players in March.

We need to sign a striker to replace Tshimanga otherwise it will be like a repeat of when we let Eoin Doyle went to Cardiff back in 2015 and we played up front with Clucas till the end of the season.
