West Brom fan in peace.

What an astute loan, really didn't expect him to go out on loan, even though he hasn't played many games. He is very talented.

He was a central figure in our promotion season, in centre midfield. Which is arguably his best position.

Can play right back but he is a little suspect there, at premier league level.

It a hot headed player, expect a red card or to. But very talented, skilfull and attack minded, which just wasn't what we needed at RB when your trying stave off relegation.

He is a jack of all trades, can play all across defence and midfield although i have never seen him play left midfield. Maybe this was his problem, he wasn't specialist enough.

Anyway, he was best for Albion in centre mid. But this was in the championship (no offence intended), when he stepped up, he changed to RB and it didn't really work for him and us. Maybe we would have seen him in central midfield but we have so much competition there.

Good luck to you and him!

Thanks for that.

I'd put him the middle of midfield, alongside Bridcutt, putting Vincelot at left back.

My team for Monday night would be

Casper

Calderon
Dunk
Greer
Vincelot

Bridcutt
Reyes

Vicente

Noone
Buckley

CMS

my one wish when gus took over was that he would sign players from as many countries as possible, and he hasn't disappointed

i want all of south america ticked off by the time he leaves

If this carries on the dressing room is going to be awash with Bolivian marching powder and the boys will be snorting their way to victory and promotion to the Premiership Maradona 1994 World Cup style!

Saw him in the Championship for the baggies. Good signing if he can stay on the pitch (he is - shall we say - a little impetuous in the tackle and not averse to using his elbows). Quick and skillful on the ball. Better in midfield than at fullback. He plays left side as one of 3 centrebacks for Chile. Has an eye for a pass but won't be surprised if he doesn't always last the ninety minutes (even though he has only been sent off once I think). I suspect Hodgson is putting him in the shop window with an eye to a sale in January but too expensive for us. Hopefully he can give us a boost while he is here :)

Hope he does well, he should do since he was a class act when playing for us in the Championship. He's a player with a lot of talent I feel and with a lot of excellent attributes which unfortunately are let down by a few unsavoury ones. He's a diamond in the rough, if he can sort out his discipline and positioning he'll be a very good player.

Absolutely not Mumm. Perish the thought that drink driving would ever be considered 'flair' either.

Just to say I dont condone drink driving in anyway shape or form, but the FLAIR brand must incorporate a ridiculous pedigree, a random nationality, a nickname, either amazingly good or shite, and a bit of mental stupidity.

"Rana" has it all

See Diego Arismendi, Turienzo and Augustin Battipiedi for previous flair icons
