Needs plenty of service, you say?

Take a seat Scott, you've come to the right place...

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Looks promising if we play to his strengths.

Thanks Roygbiv Both of you.

The Villa comments are better than I expected and the Branford ones are worse.

I don't care to be honest, I rate him and so does Wilder. Plus he's coming for all the right reasons.

 

[ShefRedandWhite]

Some negative comments there. Let's hope Wilders knack for getting the best out of players has its effect!

 

[TJB.]

“I think he had a purple spell where the design of the team, confidence and manager’s faith all aligned for him to do well"

Sounds like he needs the kind of team where a 16 club, 30+ year-old journeyman can score 19 Championship goals in a season. A team smashing all expectations on a humble budget whilst playing energetic, exciting football.

This could be good. This could be very good indeed.

All could have been said about Mcgoldrick and Clarke before Wilder got hold of them.

True, and Fleck, Egan, JOC. It’s what Wilder and his team do, find players they can mend, buy them on the cheap and fix them.

Brentford fans just seem very bitter towards anyone who leaves their shitty little club. Jack, Egan and now Hogan.

Strange bunch!

 

[Baaaaaaa Blades]

cheers Roy
from watching his goals and reading those thoughts , i think he could really flourish in our team

his movement and pace and with our players who can produce excellent through balls etc he could be a great signing

with Goldie , Sharp , madine and now the Hulk, (and Washington) , we have great options

just please , no one from our midfield/ defence go anywhere today !

When I went to Brentford ,almost every fan I met was sound ,knowledgable and perceptive. The ones with access to computers are bell ends.

 

[SwissBlade]

As always (remember the McG comments) I think we need to take comments from opposition fans with a pinch of salt. I liked the comments from Blades Analytics and Beans from their podcast this week. Sounds like he could be a really good fit for us.

 

[snootyfenooty]

All could have been said about Mcgoldrick and Clarke before Wilder got hold of them.

A lot of it was also said about David Brooks before Eddie Howe got hold of him.

 

[Maidenhead]

At the end of the day it's a loan so we're not exactly breaking the bank.

CW & AK think it's a fair gamble so it's ok by me.

I think its changed over the last couple of years since they had a couple of decent seasons. They seemed knowledgeable online before this.

However, you're bang right, they're a decent and knowledgeable fans when you meet them

 

[coaxingstar71]

For every McGoldrick and Clarke, there's also a Ryan Leonard with regard to Chris' signings. I'm not criticising, he gets it right many more times than not, but like Leonard, he's pursued Hogan for some time now.

We should remember that at the moment, McG and Billy are in the driving seats, so unless they get injured or have a big drop off in form, Hogan will not be a starter. What's good is that it gives us better options in the squad. I can't see Washington getting much game time now and wouldn't be surprised to see him leave either today or the end of the season.

 

[Boxer Blade]

I'd get rid

 

[JohnDenver]

“Not as good as billy sharp”

Well, duh!

 

[Ernest]

Brentford fans said both O’Connell and Egan are shit and they were delighted to get rid of them, so I wouldn’t take too much from their comments.

 

[FriethBlade]

To be fair I don't give a @@@@ what they think ( no offence Roy) What I do know is we couldn't have got a better player to come in and back up Billy and be ready to replace him in the event of injury, suspension or loss of form.

Hes a big uptick on Washington and its a masterstroke by the management team to get him from a promotion rival.

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. Looks as though he could do a job for us if he gets the service.
Don’t really read much into opposing fans comments as they’re rarely complimentary. UTB

 

[Carlton Blade]

Showed really good physicality at BL for Villa in the first half last season.

Id have preferred a midfielder to compete with Fleck and Norwood but Hogan is a good signing for not much. UTB

Wilders record this season with signings is bang on

Henderson - excellent
Egan - collossus
Norwood - one of the best in his position in the division
Didsy - turned him into a crucial cog in the system

Woodburn - didn’t work but who wouldn’t sign a Liverpool ‘wonderkid’ on loan when given the chance?

Madine and Hogan - multimillion pound players not too long ago, I think they’ll both prove to be good additions.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Don’t need their opinions. I’ve seen him play on a number of occasions. He’s lively, can run the channels, has a poacher’s instinct and is a good finisher under pressure. If he gets a run in the team he will score goals and can probably play alongside all of our strikers.

Signing him is a no brainier. He makes us even more dangerous than we were.

 

[BLADES1988]

If any team can polish a turd its us!

 

[zablade]

Plenty of attaching options on the books now, knowing Wilder I wouldn’t be surprised to see all four on the pitch at once at some point.

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Thank you as ever Roy.
Similar comments were made about Sharp, Clarke when we got promoted regarding not being good enough for the league & more recently McG when we signed him at the start of the season. With the likes of Norwood, Duffy & Fleck to slot passes through and hopefully McG to allow Hogan to play off him, I think he could be an excellent addition. Makes you wonder where Madine fits in though with now 2 strikers vying to take Sharp & McG's place in the starting eleven

 

[guancheblade]

Hopefully signing Hogan will improve Duffy's fitness efficiency. Instead of having to dribble all over the place to create openings, and thus wearing himself out, he can just make pin point through balls for the pacey Hogan to latch onto. Same goes for Dowell.

Wilder = Genius

 

[Fanny magnet]

My only real experience of Brentford fans is over the last two.seasons and on this forum Nd they come accross as a right bunch of bell ends
