[Albion] James Wilson [signs on loan until the end of the season]

[Machiavelli]

There are a few videos. He looks a bit like Peter Ward did in style. Left foot is his first choice.

Looks like he could play the deep lying striker (false number 9) or the striker on the shoulder of the defender.

A bit like Texeira but with a better eye for goal. I expect he would get marked and closed down as quickly at Tex was, and he will have the same problems keeping hold of the ball.

He's not like Tex at all. I can see him playing alongside Hemed, Zamora or Baldock, and playing up front on his own. So he's an adaptable striker, not an attacking midfielder more suited to playing in the three of a 4-2-3-1 formation, which is what Tex is.

Does every good striker score in every match? Oh, perhaps not.

Maybe this guy is a very good signing, Most of us seem to think so. You just need a moan, perhaps?

Quite. Every club in the Championship wants another striker and just look at the other players that were available.

The club landed the best available. Most of us are delighted about that.

Out and out striker/goalscorer according to my United supporting mate. Says he's a great signing as long as he stays fit!!

I have a massive smile on my face now. That's truly a statement of intent.

Boots back in the cupboard.

We will all be hoping that. Perhaps the sea air will help.

Looking forward to seeing Jack and James, Real Madrid and Manchester United wonderkids, playing in the same Albion side. Could it happen?

We'll be a team of wonder kids soon.

(None of them are really wonder kids though are they ?)

Indeed. Cancelled the crash diet as well.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before ...but is this loan in 2 parts? Someone mentioned that its an eergency loan up until January and then until end of season from then? Would that explain why LVG has said at this mornings press conference why they can recall him.

It has to be two parts. We can't sign him on a season long loan during the emergency window. So in theory we've signed him on an emergency with it being converted to full on the 1st of Jan.

United aren't the best team in Manchester ........... ouch!

Do you think I'd want to be Rooney's protege ? ........... ooof!

Is that a spoof ? I think I like Neymar.

Edit - duplicate post.

 

[Surf's Up]

He looks a good signing. On at half time for Zamora I would think.

No - he starts with Hemed and Zamora comes on at 75 minutes

of course its a spoof!!!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

He is rapid! Can't wait to see him in the stripes.

Hope he starts with Bobby tomorrow. The thought of him playing off Bobby's hold up play and flicks is very exciting!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

of course its a spoof!!!

Ha ha. Well it is well played.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Tremendous signing. Like to see him and Hemed start and Bobby come on when needed.

Mentioned above already but I do wish the 'recall' clause had been omitted.

Yes, it will be an emergency loan into January, and then a half season loan from the last day of the January transfer window, I suspect.

This means that Man Utd could recall him any time between 28 days into the loan, and the point at which it becomes a half season loan.

so,

1st 28 days - no recall possible.
From then until loan made into half season loan ( my guess last day of January transfer window ) - recall possible.
Once January window closed - no recall possible.
