[Albion] The 2022-2023 Loanee Tracker Thread

[GT49er]

The guys on loan to English teams - Pains me to say it but I think we can say that none of them, except Rushworth, have a future with us - best we can hope for is getting a fee for them with a decent sell on clause.
I may be wrong about Leonard, but at the moment he is in and out of a League Two Northampton team !

Probably. It's a numbers game really - if 1 in 10 comes off it's been a good gamble.

Leonard though is only 20, on his first loan and holding down a regular place at Northampton, where he seems quite well appreciated - so maybe not to be written off yet, ditto Jensen Weir, a regular in midfield for Morecambe. Apart from those two though - and Rushworth of course - the loans don't appear to be going that well.

Richards - now he's finally not injured we may see if he can progress. Only recently has he started to get any playing time, and he's only so fr had a few minutes at that.

Pretty miserable day for our domestic loanees today. In the league, Khadra and Duffy (so far) unused subs, Richards not even in the squad.
In the Cup, only Leonard has had a game (subbed after an hour for Northampton). Tolaj and Jenks unused subs. No Rushworth for Lincoln - presumably he's being given a rest though.

Edit: Weir got 90 minutes for Morecambe last night (they lost though).

Chance for us all to watch young Roberts today. Playing at LB for Derby at Torquay in the FA Cup.

Live on ITV now.

Edit: not pleased to see him wearing his socks like that Villa sock-boy currently at Citeh.

Teddy Jenks at last gets a start for Crawley (at Burnley) in the cup tonight. Weir and (of course!) Rushworth also starting for Morecambe and Lincoln respectively.

In the Championship, Richards and Khadra are both bench warming*.

* Both came on for about 10-15 minutes game time.

Ostigard played 90mins for Napoli. Not bad to be playing for league leaders. Must be worth a few bob now

Yep, did the full 90 at Anfield in the CL too. Bring on those add-ons!

Simon Adingra back amongst the goals again for USG tonight - equaliser in the Belgian Cup v Cappellen (whoever THEY are)

 

[beardy gull]

And another. 1-5 now.

 

[Machiavelli]

Richards starts (for first time in Championship?) for QPR
Khadra on bench for Sheff Utd
Weir starts for Morecambe
Rushworth starts for Lincoln
Roberts starts in a back three for Derby
Jenks starts for Crawley

Edit: missed Leonard, who came on after 69 mins for Northampton

 

[Machiavelli]

Roberts scores for Derby, who are 2-1 up with 20 to go

First time for QPR certainly - think he only ever got the occasional sub appearance at Birmingham last season. Lasted until a couple of mnutes before the end - good for him: shocking injuries last year or so.
Khadra got a couple of minutes at the end for the Blades.

Had a fantastic diving header disallowed when it was 0.0
off the bench again today
Azzurri march on with a 3 2 win

Such a shame he wasn't good enough for Stoke! Shocking how bad the standard must be in Serie A thses days ....................

I see Connelly still injured. His side were relegated to championship are now 2nd from bottom.

Love to think the two facts are related, but sadly probably not...

Bollocks. His side were in Serie B (the Italian equivalent of the Championship) when he joined them. 'He' (if only 'Connelly' had ever existed) was actually doing quite well for them prior to his injury.

All hypothetical of course. Only stupid people thought we ever had a player called Connelly (we didn't), and 'he' (if he'd ever existed) doesn't play in the Championship.

More bollocks. Not enough facts to link together for a start

His side were in Serie A last season. They are now 2nd to bottom in Serie B. Prior to injury was in and out of side so dont think you can call that doing quite well

Slightly off topic how much is Gyokeres now worth and do we have a sell on %

Hsi side were in Serie A last season. They got relegated. He wasn't playing for them then - even if he had been, that wouldn't necessarily have made him a bad player. It might have given 'fans' more time to learn how to spell his name properly, I suppose.

In the meantime, thank f*** some useless German player got his team relegated from the Bundesliga, enabling us to trigger his release clause and have him stinking out the Albion for the past five seasons.




A Gross error, you might call it (though it might be a bit above you if you can't even spell 'Connolly' properly).

On a couple of Championship fans forums, 'We should go and get him for £10M' has been suggested!
