Van La Parra . . . Should we make a bid?

We all know how accurate they are.

Kaz is scheduled to play in the cup game against Hull. Hopefully the beginning of the end of our injury woes

There is no end product from him. I lost count the amount of times his crosses didn't best the first man

Does not try to beat the man without doing loads of step overs.
Really frustrating. I would of thought he could at least try and beat his man sometimes

No we fecking shouldn't
I have never seen anyone play a game, where he couldn't get a fecking cross past the first player and then when he did it went straight to another Ipswich player...frustrating is not the word!

Sky sports reporting we are trying to extend the loan.
That would be cover in case KLL or Murphy get an injury I guess?

Apart from scoring at QPR, and Derby and assisting Hemed's goal and getting man of the match , he has been TERRIBLE.
I love that people think he is a bad player because he beats a mean "too many times"
I would MUCH rather a player beats someone 3 times and loses it than never shows the ability to beat a man in the first place. At least he has the natural quality to do the hard bit first, he just needs to be coached to get the ball in a bit earlier which is a MUCH easier thing to coach than beating a player. I'm certain Chris and the team would have noted this so it's really quite easy to fix.
It's ridiculous that you are probably better of being a "quieter" winger who trundles through the 90 mins compared to a VLP who actively seeks the ball and tries to do something with it. You get far less criticism for that!
Rihad Mahrez was LAMBASTED at points last year by the Leicester fans for overplaying. He adapted his decision making but retained that initial quality he had to beat a man.
I'd be delighted to extend his loan. There is a quality player in there.

Monakana is awful. Someone at work supports Preston and was surprised we bought him
Another month if we must, by which time hopefully Lualua, Baldock and Towell will be up to speed, giving us numbers in (various) attacking areas.
I'd be very dissappointed if we bought him though - there are far, far better players out there.

Pros - He looked really interested and got on the ball a lot in the second half against Ipswich, you got the impression that if we'd scored he'd have a hand in it. Good finish at Derby. Lucky goal against QPR but sometimes the rub of the green is what you need in a player. Great cross against Charlton.
Cons - Too many stepovers against Ipswich and one turn too many when players were already beaten, crosses too often blocked. Wants to shoot all the time and hasn't earned the right to that yet (a la Kaz). Any winger at this level should be able to put a great cross in.
My opinion is that we've been a lot weaker since we've had to start him, but no harm in keeping the loan on whilst we have no other options, he's clearly an average Championship-standard winger.

Was directly behind him in 2nd half when he had a lot of possession. Waste of time giving him the ball. Never looked like crossing past first defender. He just ran out of ideas and in the end was just hoping defender would get out of way which of course he didnt

Why would he want to hit Dean Cox? He plays for a team in a different division anyway, so they would never be on the same pitch.

It was rather, wasn't it? No goal is'lucky', they are all priceless and worth their weight in gold.
That I think is our chief problem, as much as I rate Van La Parra, it should be a striker who is top of our shopping list.
Hemed is off form, Zamora can't last a full 90 minutes, and Wilson can be recalled at any time. If we can find someone in this window, who can guarantee us 10 to 15 goals by the end of the season, that could just mean promotion.
