Capt. Pants 4,227 Posted May 7, 2022 Either player can do a job in the Championship. Smith now has an extended pre season period to evaluate his options. May as well start tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danke bitte 965 Posted May 7, 2022 Both players love Norwich and are great to have in and around the team. Given we have little to no morale right now might be useful to see them return 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,980 Posted May 7, 2022 Having Jordan back will give most fans a major lift. Could he get the winner tomorrow and show West Ham what they’re missing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted May 7, 2022 To be fair what I took from it was that they'll be having a look at them as they haven't directly worked with either player yet. Doesn't mean either will play for us, although would be nice to see a couple of players who actually have some fight in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) What West Ham found out very early on after signing Hugill was that their scouting system had made a major balls up!   Something similar happened here when we bought him, then it happened again and again and…… Edited May 7, 2022 by ged in the onion bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted May 7, 2022 I really want McCallum and Mumba to do well. Hugill and Onel are proven Championship players. Not sure about Cantwell and Sinani but could we sign better? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets hope this is ' rock bottom' for Todd despite his shallow boasts of '3 in a row personally' and he realises that this really is tbe point where he has to switch on , grow up and get on with his career... or watch it disappear down the pan. Whatever personal issues he has had , they must be put behind him . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that to be the case too. If they arent in our squad of 25 they cannot play - Im also sure those that are under the age necessary to be in the 25 are ineligible to play too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted May 7, 2022 Yeah, they can't play. Smith will be 'taking a look' at them. I can't actually see Hernandez or Hugil being in the squad next season, Hugil feels more likely but even that would be as deep cover. McCallum and Mumba obviously have a chance. Cantwell? Wouldn't that be a great story. I assume we'll be selling him for whatever we can get though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't that be a great story. I assume we'll be selling him for whatever we can get though. I know that a direct comparison along these lines isn't entirely fair, as one of these players is more an 'up and at them' impact player and the other, at their best, able to help dictate the tempo at Championship level.... ... but lets not forget that Todd Cantwell only contributed 6 goals and 6 assists for the best team in the league last season in the Championship across the full season. And that Onel Hernandez has delivered 3 goals and 3 assists in half a season, for one of the poorest teams in the Championship this season. The truth is that Cantwell's productivity for a player playing so far up the pitch was pretty poor last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted May 7, 2022 Shows how poor they both really are that both have been sent back by the clubs, not deemed good enough to consider buying! If we’re thinking of massive overhaul we need these players off the books and gone! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe they do want to buy them, but cannot meet our asking price, or their wage demands etc ? not every loan has a view to purchase, they could be used to cover an injury, or a young player who not quite ready yet, but deemed to be better then the loanee for next season, type scenario.

Just as an example.  Yes indeed the old wage demands and fee debate, but regardless, we’re stuck with them so probably looking to loan them, but would we to rivals in the championship? Probably not, so then it looks like league one or abroad to get them out of the club to free up money and space! Or as you say we’re stuck with them and will need to use them! So much for this massive excuse of this not being Smiths squad, looks like he’ll be stuck with them, so good luck!😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaUnionCanary 86 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, CANARYKING said: Correct me if I’m wrong, these loan returnees can’t play this season. Totally right. We have a squad of 25, and they are not in it, and not eligible. And nor are they exempt because of age. I cannot understand how posters fail to grasp the basic concepts of this league. But if you are CC you can start a thread in order to look to be on the front foot in all things City, even if the content is totally wrong. They will not be back "in yellow and green" this season.

GJP 79 Posted May 7, 2022 I haven't watched the interview but Hugill is what he is. Hernandez has a lot of faults but is 10 x the player Placheta is. May even be more like 100 x.  We were getting relegated whatever but Hernandez is so much better than Placheta... Dare I say it, makes me think they accepted relegation from the off and accepted a few dollars for seemingly non key players.
