Conor Hourihane - thanks and farewell

[KRS]

His left peg is like a magic wand...hopefully everything he touches turns into goals!

Welcome to VP Conor.

"Significant fee and sell-on" according to the Barnsley site.  They've done well in what must have been shit situations for them seeing us come in and pillage their talent.

agreed and having seen us lose out on countinho and dele Ali in previous Windows  really proud that can attract top talent potential and sign progressive players.
Hooray for that!

Watching that clip he reminds me of Alan Thompson.

I hope not.

Anyway, if he gets to take a penalty I reckon I know where he'll put it.

I reckon he could even tell the keeper where he's going to put it and he'd still score. From the clip he looks very accurate with a dead ball.

Charlie Adam  crossed with Delph !

Glad we're signing established championship players, like we did with McCormack & Elphick.

Surely you aren't disappointed with Hourihane?

We also signed established players like Kodjia & Adoma. 

With so many coming in, a couple are bound not to work out.  Elphick is actually a great squad player and great character.  I've no issues with him whatsoever.

Welcome Conor.

And how did you feel about signing Gollini and Tshibola .

[Clampy]

Any news on Mr, Hourihane?

No. Probably going to the Premier League

Bearing in mind you thought he was going to the Premier League, you should be happy we've snapped him up.

Absolute cracking player!  Steal at 1 million !
Really good middle man plays well with aggression and offensive play.
Pros gets goals . Great footballing age . Creative.  Captain and versatile in middle.
Negative - aggression leads to yellow cards !

Really hope he signs and we 'll enjoy his play.
Think Fabian Delph/ Charlie Adam hybrid

So we are signing an overweight snake ??

i've only just read your comment. 
No coming at it different angles. 
If you're familiar with the positive attributes of Adam and Delph midfield and ball play then it was this I was referencing. 
They are both left footed. 
Drive.
Adam has a dead ball specialist
Delphi tenacious and energetic
Both have cards in them

I think Hourihane will do really well. Elphick is dreadful though, an extremely poor defender.

Elphick has been very disappointing, however like many on here I was pleased when we signed him.

[avfcpg]

Be nice to have a free kick outside the box that you actually think has a chance of going in..
On paper, that midfield is one of the best in this league....over to you Mr Bruce.

I think he's a good squad player.  Not many Championship squads have someone like Elphick as back up.
