[Albion] Rajiv van La Parra [on loan from Wolves until 2nd January]

[Carrot Cruncher]

Here's a thought

How about we trust the manager's judgement? If Hughton thinks he's a good addition to the squad that's good enough for me.

Or do we still believe that nonsense that the manager doesn't have the final decision on transfers?

Or another bit of nonsense that the club leaving everything to the last minute is the sole reason we haven't picked up a Messi?

Too many people on here seem to think that just because they are good at Football Manager or whatever it's called - I have no idea - they know better than the man whose job it is to make these decisions.

I suspect if we looked back at NSC when an unknown kid called Zamora arrived on loan we'd find people saying if he can't get into Bristol Rovers first team then he won't be any good for us.

Wise words. The fact that it appears that Hughton isn't that keen on loans suggests to me that this isn't a panicked, last minute deal and that CH sees something that will be benificial to the team.

 

[Megazone]

Since LuaLua's injury, we've really lacked pace.

This looks like it could be a good tactical signing.

I don't think being disappointed with a signing is questioning the manager who is limited by what is available, but with us riding high at the top, it is slightly underwhelming to find the only option we have is a player who can't get in the Wolves side. Since we got to the Amex, I can't really think of a short term loan that's had anything like a really positive impact – and we do kind of need a positive impact right now.

Perhaps he is just cover basically to get us through to January, which is fine. For all you know Hughton might be just as underwhelmed that this is the only player he can bring in until January. Who knows.

Lets hope that a bit of time away from his parent club lights his fire!

I thought he was an English cricketer.

Wasn't Conway initially short term? He was quality.

He was, but I thought he only started making an impact after his loan period was extended? Maybe the grey matter is failing me on that...Remember being gutted when we couldn't keep him on.

No. What is this soapy tit wink of which you speak ?

An all time classic thread.

Careful posting screen shots kids ...............



A bit blurred - but you can see the previous Search left on the screen ..........

Get to it from here.

Still makes me laugh .................

'Have the odd good game but overall infuriating' is the Wolves fan feedback I've had. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

 

[Rogero]

A strange signing but Chris knows this league.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Great music, I'll play that for the misses whilst I'm dishing up the beans on toast!

That's re-writing history significantly based on his "performances".

 

[durrington gull]

Baffling signing! Can't get in wolves team - smacks of last seasons signings - thank god we got Wilson in!

Perhaps he doesnt suit their style of play or their play doesnt suit him either way I think it is a positive signing.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

We do need another winger that can cross. I think this signing may be just what the doctor ordered for Hemed, who's had terrible service since Lua Lua got crocked.

I'm pleased with this signing.

Terrible service? do you really think so? I have to admit that the crosses coming in for him from the flanks haven't been particularly brilliant, but he has still been given, and missed, a lot of chances of late.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Is it possible that CH knows a little bit more about what players will be good for the club than some of the utter PLUMS on here?

No. Whatever gave you the impression that this is the case, everyone knows that NSC is over-run with football managers.. Good name for a football team though..The NSC Plums

It's only for a month. May or may not work out, but either way we've got nothing to lose except a few weeks (probably not astronomical) wages.

Until LuaLua is fit (which will be God knows when the way it's going) and Rosenior covering at left back, it doesn't leave us many options out wide. If Solly or Murphy get injured (quite likely with Solly with his track record) it only leaves us with Manu as current cover for the wings. Yes we have Harper, but is he fully ready yet?
