Cherries: Bradbury has open mind over loans

BOSS Lee Bradbury is keeping his loan options open but insists there is no immediate need to reinforce Cherries' in-form squad.[LNB] The emergency loan window opened this week, handing Football League clubs the opportunity to bring in new faces on a temporary basis.[LNB] Bradbury strengthened his resources last Friday by making defender Mathieu Baudry and striker Ben Williamson his first signings.[LNB] The Cherries squad is also expected to be bolstered within the next month by the return of long-term injury victims Mark Molesley and Steve Lovell.[LNB] Having only seen one player Marvin Bartley exit Dean Court during the January transfer window, Bradbury has a healthy number of players at his disposal.[LNB] And while the new boss intends to keep an eye out for potential loanees, he is set to bide his time.[LNB] He told the Echo: It is nice to have the option. It is not something I am looking at that seriously at the moment but it is definitely something I would use if needs be in the coming weeks.[LNB] The lads are doing brilliantly and, as long as that continues and we don't pick up any injuries or get any major knocks along the way, I'll try to keep it as it is.[LNB] I'll keep my eye on it and address the situation as and when I need to.[LNB] According to league rules, clubs are permitted to sign emergency loanees until 5pm on March 24.[LNB] Cherries have experienced success in the past with temporary signings, notably with talented defender Rhoys Wiggins prior to his permanent move to Dorset.[LNB] This season, Spurs right-back Adam Smith has starred during a loan period at Dean Court.[LNB]
