Kilby hints at loan move

Burnley chairman Barry Kilby has not ruled out the possibility of the club bringing players to Turf Moor on loan deals.
Clarets boss Steve Cotterill made no last-minute purchases on transfer deadline day but Kilby insists the loan market has served the club well in the past.
"We can still operate on the emergency loan system," Kilby told the Burnley Citizen. "We've always got the option to bring somebody in on loan if Steve (Cotterill) feels there's a need.
"We made a couple of loans signings last autumn, such as (Nathan) Dyer from Southampton.
"The thing is, we got organised early this season. Getting Andy Gray and Alan Mahon really early, and then Steve Foster later on but before the start of pre-season, it was not as frantic as it's previously been.
"We'd like our squad to be a bit bigger. But we had to take a decision on quantity or quality, with the budget that we've got. It's as simple as that."
