While the season starts this weekend. Theres still business to be done on signings says boss Matt Taylor.
With 2 season long loan deals from the Premier League already in the bag, Taylor is looking for more, but is having to wait..
"With the Premier League clubs, they are behind everyone else in pre-season because they start a week later. They have been away or are or still away. Always at the start with so many games, they need to fulfil those fixtures with under-23s and 21s players. I am pretty sure more will come available in the next few weeks. You develop as many links as you possibly can and offer opportunities - which maybe other Championship clubs can't because they have bigger and stronger squads - for young players, especially on loan."
"But then it seems to still come down to finance an awful lot. That's where, unfortunately, we are not in the same conversations as some clubs at the level.
"But we do expect some of those loans to come to fruition because we do hope that some first-team managers at Premier League and top Championship level see us as an opportunity to get young players on the pitch at Championship level which is an incredible experience for them."
