Think he'll be a real asset for us. Good signing

I thought Chico Hamilton played with the number 10 he played with Pat McMahon as well.

Number 11 was Willie Anderson . I have just checked the old programmes in the garage.

Ray of course replaced Chico.

No he didn't. Chico played in 1974-75.
He did eventually.

Hope it's loan to buy. Can anyone confirm?

I'm not sure that's necessary.  He'll be 30 by the end of the loan so I doubt his value can rise much from here.

So if he turns out to be decent for us anyone can come and nab him for next to nothing? Sounds like Villa alright.

but hopefully we will have done well as will he and that would encourage him to stay ?

Perhaps not, if a team comes along and offers Premiership wages.

Too far ahead to worry about I suppose. I just prefer loan to buy, if we have to rely on loans, rather than loan to 'lap of the gods'.

Anyway. Welcome to the greatest club in the world, Mr Snodgrass.

Bruce clearly delighted to sign him at the end of the post match interview. Hopefully he will provide the extra quality that we are lacking at the top end of the pitch.

Very good player.  I was hoping we would get him last season.  Yeah, odd use of the budget but I'm still really pleased with this one.

No transfer fee at this stage, so a no brainer! Wages only.

Do you not get how loans work?

We paid £2m to Liverpool to have Scott Carson for a year, and that was a decade ago. We'll be paying his £40k per week wages, and giving West Ham a fair wedge as well.

That doesn't mean that we're wasting money, as if he's great then it'll be money well spent. But "a loan just means his wages" isn't really how these things go.

Bought in to replace Elmo, who replaced Adomah and who are both still on the books.
Great business.

Elmo was a truly awful buy - Albert might not be a world beater but he is a better option.

Thanks for that, so Chico was 7?
