I think this makes it more likely that there is incoming news before the end of the day

Maybe his recent outburst is the reason behind the clubs decision to let him go out on loan

Quite possibly. I find it hard to believe that he can be that bad for what we paid for him. Let's hope he returns in the summer and does the business for us.

Shame, never given a proper run.
Hughton had already made his mind up before the recent outburst.
One of the few players with pace which is handy even from the sub bench...Hughton preferred Crofts [pace]...

Is/was Manu really as bad as it would seem? Was he given enough of a chance with us I wonder? To pay £1.5M for him the club must have seen something that was worth that money?

Should have got him on loan; we could send him back if/when it didn't work out - much better idea!

He did not have an "outburst", a journalist from back home got an interview with him to ask about his progress, he had to report that he had not made any, was not getting game time and said maybe he made a mistake in coming here, he then went on to say that it was the same at first with Feyenord though and he only got his breakthrough there after coming back from a loan period elsewhere, so maybe that could happen here too.

28 day recall exists on the loan and Manu clearly not on their priority list....

"Town head coach David Wagner said: “I’ve talked a lot during this winter window about bringing players to the club who would help us in the long term.
But when it became clear that our targets were not available in this window, we moved down a different road to help for the rest of the season"

The road of '**** it, just bring anyone in', presumably.

I hope he does well there. Had decent pedigree. If he helps Hudds beat some of our rivals it may be a good loan.

Elvis is a good player who'll do well in the right system. If he had more of a defensive game we'd have seen more of him.

On what basis are you saying that (a good player?)his touch is average,he struggles with off-side and his electrifying pace is a myth (all based on what I've seen including U21s).

Can't quite grasp the off side rule, a bit like my sons under10 team.
