That’s at least a couple of match winners now, and you can see he cares and hates losing. looking like a very astute signing from Bruce

Took a while to get going but he's a quality player at this level.

Let's not forget just over a year ago he was playing well for Hull in the premier league and scoring screamers most weeks.

Only issue with signing him permanently is his age.

The last line is why I'm not sure what we should do in the summer (if we go up).  He's a very good player who fits the club well but he's going t be 31 early next season and I can't imagine West Ham letting him leave cheap so it's £7-8m with no chance of a return again and those sort of deals have stung us far too many times in the last few years.

Is there any chance that Moyse will take him back in this window?

I think it's been confirmed he can't

I think Sullivan is on record as saying something along the lines of him being his worst signing for West Ham so I doubt he can get away with asking for too much.

The problem is teams will have seen his performances with us so the value is still there and that bunch of arseholes aren't going to do us any favours.

The unpalatable reality is that £8m is a bargain in the Premier League.

I'd take him for 3-4m.

8m though and yes that's another one we'd have to write off after a couple of years. He's also had bad injuries in last few years so that's another worry.

At this level though, excellent without question.

Looks like he should be sat on a toadstool in a garden with a fishing rod in his hand, but has a foot like a magic wand.

I can’t think the last player we had who took a better set piece?

There is a buy clause for £5 million I am pretty sure. It was reported in the press this week in a few places. If he relied on pace I would say nah, too old. But he doesn't at all, and there are plenty of 32-33 year olds doing very well in the premier league. For 2 seasons I think he would be one of those that would score 4-5 winners over a season and pull in 12-15 points on his own. That is before his assists, work rate and attitude are taken into account. Signing him will be the second easiest decision Bruce has to make after going up. Signing Johnstone will be the easiest.
