[Albion] Jan Paul Van Hecke

[Wozza]

Perhaps Potter will take him to Sunderland? Could be the beginning of an exodus...

 

[Wardy's twin]

What the heck...don't understand loaning him now that Clarke has gone.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Van Hecke got minutes yesterday, and that’s with the other 4 centre backs fit. A couple of injuries/suspensions at the back and he’ll be playing every game. He should absolutely not go out on loan, unless of course, there is a ‘here we go’ centre back heading for the Amex in the next 4 days.

 

[brighton_tom]

If Van Hecke goes and we bring nobody in that leaves us with 4 senior centre backs. Certainly not enough over a season for a team that plays 3 at the back. Surely we wont be that silly.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

If you loan out with the clause that allows for a recall at any time it can work.

We would only be able to recall during January.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

With the WC break that MIGHT be a risk we’d take to give him game time

Recall clauses aren’t allowed except in transfer windows (and GK emergencies)

This is a good point. I think there are only about 14 games for us until the next window, and we have four other fit centre backs. I think the whole situation will be managed carefully as it was for Ben White, and that no conclusions will be drawn based on him getting half a season at a big championship club.

This is exactly as I see it... maybe the Hungarian lad?

Massive nonsensical risk

 

[Bozza]

Some reports that Middlesbrough are interested in taking him on loan for the remainder of the season.

I wonder if that would be an option if Matviyenko comes in.

 

[Springal]

I suspect we’ll want him to sign a new deal or trigger a year (if we can) before doing so

Phat chance, after they ruined young Aaron

 

[Superphil]

Heard the same rumour to Boro on loan.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Based on the 70 minutes I saw, I don't think he's ready yet.

 

[GT49er]

First PL game - bit of nerves, new experience .............. can't judge him on 70 minutes.

His first game for Blackburn was a stinker - but he was still voted POTS by the fans.

 

[keaton]

Based on the 70 minutes I saw, I don't think he's ready yet.

I didn't go but it takes Webster 5-6 games to get up to speed every time he comes back from injury and he's a lot more experienced

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Agree with you both. Probably harsh on my part. I still think the lad has a future here.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Boro have Carrick now so if the new guy did come in I could see this as working - if we get him to sign a new deal first
