pablofarmer 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Think Holloway would get the most out of him. Could be good for us, in either seeing the best of him and keeping him, or finding a buyer for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,409 Posted January 15, 2013 It might be a pre-cursor to someone coming in? Well the clubs tweets of snow at Carrow Road didn''t show a picture of the GW / Main Stand, where official photographs of new players signing in are taken. Just a thought.......

ZLF 274 Posted January 15, 2013 he needs match time and he is a signing for the future - I see no problem with this at all and think its exactly the right thing If it is part of a deal perhaps its not zaha but murray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Felixfan 53 Posted January 15, 2013 This lad was sought after by several Premier league clubs as one of the hottest young properties. There is no way we will get rid of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,169 Posted January 15, 2013 Wiz has a point. The money invested in him could, at the time, have been spent on a.n.other with immediate benefit to the team. Perhaps the injury put off bigger clubs? Perhaps the injury made him cheaper than he would otherwise have been? I still feel that he''ll turn out to be a very good player for us, but this re-cuperation process is dragging on a bit now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted January 15, 2013 How much did we spend on him?He was out of contract wasn''t he? So just a fee for him being under 23. Wouldn''t have been much. And going on Hughton''s other signings, who exactly would he have bought?He wasn''t/isn''t a waste of money. He''s still our player. Worst case scenario, Hughton doesn''t want him back next year and sells him. I doubt we''ll lose out much if at all financially.We aren''t in some kind of frail position where spending an extra £500k will put us into relegation. We are stable, we have money to spend.

pablofarmer 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Think we had to pay comps to his former club (Barnsley?) and if my memory serves me correct that was around 250,000 - 300,000 ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 783 Posted January 15, 2013 Until he has had a proper pre-season with us we can''t really judge him IMO, and getting him out on loan so he can play games seems a no brainer.He may well turn out to not be good enough but until he gets a fair crack of the whip and is fully match fit I don''t see what good writing him off does.

CambridgeCanary 0 Posted January 15, 2013 [quote user="Wiz"]Err, just why did we waste our precious cash on this bloke?[/quote]Same reason Chelsea bought lakuku and loaned him to WBA.

Vazzza 62 Posted January 15, 2013 I think he has been sent out so much due to Wes'' fine form. Maybe if Wes hadn''t been as consistent this year, Butters would have been kept around as extra competition to push Howson and Wes. But yeah, Wes has been amazing so the need for Butters hasn''t really been there. If, god forbid, Wes got injured, I think Butters would be called back as I doubt Howson could last 90mins 1-2 times a week for long without getting his own match fitness back first.

Stowmarket Canary (not Delia) 0 Posted January 15, 2013 It says in the report to be announced Wednesday at the earliest. This does all seem very cloak and dagger for a routine loan deal. Really makes you think it could be part of something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
