Waddock: 'Loan deals would have to be top quality'

GARY Waddock said any loan additions to his squad would have to be of the highest quality to improve his Wycombe side.

The Wycombe boss pulled off some excellent temporary signings last season including goalkeeper Tom Heaton from Manchester United and midfielder Scott Davies from Reading.

The transfer window slammed shut last week with selling England U19 youth product Matt Phillips to Premier League newcomers Blackpool the only business done by Waddock.

Nine players were brought into Adams Park in the summer which meant the club were able to avoid the last-minute chaos of transfer deadline day.

But the loan window opened on Tuesday and Waddock said he is no rush to add to his squad despite a stuttering start to their league campaign.

He said: "Everybody was looking at us at and wondering who we might bring in to replace Matty but we done the majority of our work early in the summer and planned well and got the players we wanted. So there is no real urgency.

"When you go into the loan market you are looking to bring in players who are better than what you have or who will improve what you have in the squad.

"Last year we were able to do that with a number of the signings we brought in because we needed bodies in. But with the work we have done in the summer, it would need to be a very good player to come in.

"We have been fortunate that clubs have allowed really good, talented players to come out and play in our sides so hopefully that will continue because they will see the style of football we want to produce."
