Yes for about 2.5 million which watching him would be a real snip.

Right now Cleverley on a free and Sinclair for that would be astonishing business.

Totally agree. Just shows you what a more positive Manager can do for a player, good to see TC getting warm applaus when he went off.

First half watching him i just kept thinking 'run forrest, run' such was his gormless running down blind alleys, but second half he was excellent, scored a priceless goal and showed that he has the potential to have a real future here. Well played.

2.5 for Sinclair? In todays world of exuberant fees and wages that would be a bargain if he maintains his form.

Yeah Cleverley played well too once he settled after the first 20 mins or so. Again on that evidence i'd try to get him permanently, but would want to see a bit more yet considering how shit he was under Lambert.

Scott Sinclair was great at Swansea, and will be great for us under TS. Sign him up, fast. To think, he's still only 25!

I thought he looked decent in the first half, even when the rest of the team looked awful, but he was very impressive in the second.

He got more confident as the half went on, and especially that little run right before the break. He looked a threat throughout the second half and thoroughly deserved his goal.

Depends on wages etc for me.  If he's going to be demanding a big salary, I think we could possibly do better,even though he has played well in the last two games.  We need more goals from midfield and I'd rather look at bringing someone like that in than signing Cleverley if we are going to be looking at paying big money.

3 goals since he joined the club, could have been more. He has looked lively and so much like the player he was promising to be before his move to Man City. Sign him is my only suggestion.

All three goals under Sherwood, and Cleverley, (also mentioned above as "not playing for us), is playing better as well. I might have to deduce that Sherwood has something about him. (Or at least is 10x better the Lambert ended up like).

maybe a little bit generous to give him the first under Sherwood, but your point is still very valid. The midfield are so much more involved now.
I know, but TS did go into the dressing room at half time during the Leicester match and got a similar reaction to this one which lead to his first goal, (albeit a very lucky one). I just hope we can start playing well for longer the 45 mins as time goes on.

Lambert's issue wasn't signing good players; it was getting them to perform. Fortunately we've got some players beginning to play well and express themselves now and hopefully Sinclair can keep it up if he signs for us.

He's a class act when he's on form, that goal was brilliant. I thought he made the wrong choice turning the defender. If he plays like that regularly it's going to be exciting. What s difference having a winger with pace and tricks and an eye for goal. Sign him up please Sherwood.

I actually thought second half he played much more as a striker, and looked much more threatening for it.

3 goals in 5 is an excellent return. Give him a proper extended run and you can start adding assists to that tally. His first goal was a bit jammy but the positioning was very good. His header and goal yesterday were both quite superb. He seems to be genuinely enjoying himself and it is showing in his play.

Another strong performance yesterday.  Can see him getting a few goals and assists before the end of the season.  Would like to see us sign him long term during the summer.  Just the kind of player we need :)
