CONFIRMED Conor Hourihane signs on loan

[ChipButtyBlade]

Should'nt this be in the "close thread".

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Genuinely would tick a lot of boxes for us.

 

[brownblade]

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

This sounds relatively do-able.

Good player for this division

That’ll definitely be happening if it’s from Matt Law with his Villa sources. Meh from me but better than what we have.

 

[Wards]

That’ll definitely be happening if it’s from Matt Law with his Villa sources. Meh from me but better than what we have.

One of those if Norwood/Fleck were in decent nick then it’d be a sideways move. As it stands he’s far better than anything either of them have shown over the last 18 months.

Thumbs up from me.

 

[Luke1993]

Set piece delivery. Good crosser and progressive passer. Good start but we still need pace/creativity further up the pitch.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

All joking aside.

I’ve been as critical as anyone about our inability to do deals so far. I do wonder how much the lack of transfer leaks is contributing to the general feeling that we just arnt making any progress.

I’m sure I’m as guilty as anyone but the lack of a cadette type thread providing updates has left a black hole of information about who we are after. The club rightly not letting names get out to protect our interests

Time will tell but if the 3/4/5 we desperately need come in then - maybe it’s time our dummies went back in.

 

[Jon P]

Great another pensioner

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Set piece delivery. Good crosser and progressive passer. Good start but we still need pace/creativity further up the pitch.

agree - improvement on the midfield so far. Still need that properly creative outlet though

 

[Danetheblade]

That’ll definitely be happening if it’s from Matt Law with his Villa sources. Meh from me but better than what we have.

Quality signing for this level imo Bob. Definitely better than what's currently in the midfield. If it removes fleck/Norwood I'm all for it.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Set piece delivery. Good crosser and progressive passer. Good start but we still need pace/creativity further up the pitch.

100% Agree + a GK

 

[Speedracer]

If our midfield were functioning as we know it can this would be pointless, however as they are currently as much use on the pitch as Henry Moore statues it could actually be a good move.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

One of those if Norwood/Fleck were in decent nick then it’d be a sideways move. As it stands he’s far better than anything either of them have shown over the last 18 months.

Thumbs up from me.

I can’t quite muster a thumbs up, more…

It’ll need to be the start of better coming in, him and Guedioura isn’t good enough. There needs to be a much better talent to follow if we’re looking for a promotion pushing side. He’ll get us closer to the playoffs though and if he’s one of 5 then ok it’s a solid start.

 

[ancientblade]

good signing

 

[ancientblade]

good signing thats fleck on bench

 

[Wards]

Great another pensioner

He’s 30

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

An actual good signing in a position that we desperately need fresh blood?

What has happened to my football club?

 

[BigBed]

Would make sense! Hoping we get a keeper that’s closer to 30 than 40 as well

I'd happily take Willy for this/next season, gives us chance to get rid of Bill and Ben, and replace with a future number 1, or get Eastwood ready??

 

[Jon Bon II]

Great, more ambling around the pitch at 2mph. Watching us at the moment is like watching people trying to wade through quicksand.

 

[McGoaldrick]

This was the most obvious signing possible, could have been done weeks ago. Good stuff though

 

[Roygbiv]

I wouldn't have taken him before the season but I don't see how he can't improve things now. We probably have the worst midfield in the league.

 

[Stevo]

HERE WE GO!!!! the flood gates are opening

 

[nopigfansintown]

Looked well past it last year. Takes a decent set piece mind you.

 

[Stevo]

I'd happily take Willy for this/next season, gives us chance to get rid of Bill and Ben, and replace with a future number 1, or get Eastwood ready??

I'd heard you'd take it anytime

 

[Jon P]

He’s 30

Ffs I’m 31 whoops

gerrimin

 

[SufcBilly]

A SIGNING

 

[Macfarlane21]

Hourihane, Willy and a couple of wingers and we might finally be getting somewhere...

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

We definitely needed a third thread for this and only one who could bother to spell his name correctly.

 

[Stretch]

Well our set pieces will improve.

Decent signing.

 

[adamawdhali]

Two quality signings so far
Davies
Hourihane
olsen/big willy?
Collado/elanga?
Would be 4 great signings. I’d lean towards wanting one more winger but don’t think we could argue with that
