    Dont know alot about him but looking at his profile he has good expeirence at a higher level and is a good age as well and its good to have a mix of younger players and experience. Paolo obviously rates him and if the chance to come here permanently is the carrot dangler then he will be out to impress in the last few games. Ciobocci i do feel though has got progressively better and had a good game last night whereas i dont think Paolo is convinced with Kennedy and i wouldnt be surprised if he went on loan and moved on in the summer. Good luck Jay in your career with STFC.
    Agree entirely with this. The way forward for our youngsters, if we think they're good enough but not ready yet (Thompson, Kennedy) is to loan them out so they can learn their trade. Worked for Bodin.

    Assuming we are in L1 next year (taking nothing for granted!) it should be easier to loan out to L2 clubs (no conflicting interests).

    Agree also with the above comments that this summer's recruitment should be less frenetic and more targetted. This will help us hit the ground running in August."

Town poised to sign McEveley

Town poised to sign McEveley Town poised to sign McEveley

SWINDON Town are set to sign Barnsley left back Jay McEveley on loan until the end of the season, the Advertiser understands.

Paolo Di Canio confirmed at the weekend that he planned to delve back into the transfer market before the loan window shuts tomorrow after watching his side lose 2-0 at Crewe.

Left back and centre midfield were identified as the areas of the squad that needed strengthening and Di Canio looks set to bolster one of those two positions, with McEveley due at the County Ground for talks today.

McEveley, who was born in Liverpool, is a Scotland international who started his career at Everton before going on to play for the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich and Derby County before joining Barnsley in 2010.

The 27-year-old has made almost 40 appearances for the club and started for the Tykes against Southampton earlier this month, but was left out of the side for the game against Crystal Palace last night.

McEveley is out of contract at the end of the season and, should all go through as anticipated today, he will join on loan with a view to signing a permanent deal at the County Ground in the summer.
