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

[chucky1973]

Signed as cover for a month. Nothing wrong with that. Give the guy a chance for god sake.

 

[BensGrandad]

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.

It is until January 2nd but we play Wolves on Jan 1st and as it stands he cant play but if he proved to be an asset we could sign him permenantly or extend the loan on the 2nd.

 

[Simon Morgan]

A short term loan. Calm yourselves. If he's terrible it really doesn't matter.

If he is a success the ball is in our court in January.

 

[portslade seagull]

Could be the perfect foil fro our strikers

 

[Marshy]

quite like the look of him personally

Wolves fans seem split on whether he has talent, but all seem to agree that he has pace. He had a fairly good game running at our defence at The Amex last year. In KLL's absence CH presumably sees him as someone who has the ability to challenge or sub on for March and Murphy. Both seem to tire late on. Murphy faded in the second half on Saturday, but we had nobody to bring on in his place. Having somebody on the bench with pace in this kind of position could be very useful against tiring defenders. We all know that its about fine margins in this division and this seems like a fairly risk free gamble from CH to try to turn things in our favour.

Seems the Wolves fans are not that enamoured with him but agree he has pace without an end product, a bit like one Craig Noone when he left us. That can be worked on though. Looks like a decent signing.

In Chris we trust. If he thinks this lad will add something...

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!

Craig Conway was positive - played in in shite technical setup.
Darren Bent was positive - played in a shite technical set up.

Remember that bloke Palace signed, a winger who was in and out of the squad at Bristol City? Yannick somebody or other.

"No end product", the City fans said. "All pace but has no idea what to do with it". "We won't miss him". Then the Palace fans. "Some lower league journeyman winger who can't even get in Bristol City's team?". "Bristol City? They're even shitter than us. Zzzzzzz". "Massively underwhelming". Etc.

Anyone know what happened to him?

 

[Richard Tiltmans Shin Pad]

I hope you're right. I missed all the early games and have only seen him over the last 6 weeks or so and have not been at all impressed. I gather he started the season well though, so maybe the real Hemed is not the rather disappointing player that I have been watching.

Technically, he is good, can use both feet and his head....maybe been found out at champ level and needs to adapt. I have watched and seen him play, and always came away thinking he has something. But i clean sh*t for a living, so what do i know?

 

[Hampster Gull]

I like him.

 

[Richard Tiltmans Shin Pad]

Hemed has been rubbish since he missed the penalty against Wolves, he is a 1 goal in 12 chances striker (which is generous) and needs time on the bench but we have no one else to replace him! Personally don't think he is good enough to be a starter.

In your opinion. As stated. Mew country, new style, new language. Take yourself off to Finland and see how you fair for a year/eighteen months.........

GOOD example. Perfectly illustrates my point earlier.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Pacy, puts the ball in good areas, might help Elvis blend into the team better. Could be an astute signing

In a nutshell........

 

[sydney]

puts in some tantalising crosses on the youtube montage......we just need someone to get on the end of them....!!

 

[dangull]

Whether he will be good or not I don't know. Would have preferred to get a left back on loan though. If Rosenior gets injured were stuffed in that position.

Err....only a guess, as at least some of his profile fits. Has he changed his name to Leon Best?
