Lewis Grabban - signed on loan

[Dave]

No complaints here. No point signing somebody permanently who won't be good enough in the Premier League. Which he isn't, so it'll probably be a short yet happy partnership.

If we shit the bed and he's been good, then it's a pretty sensible signing to then throw a few million at for next season (not that this scenario is particularly likely)

If we shit the bed and he's been rubbish, then he goes and we plan properly next summer.

After Ulloa this was one of the decent moves to make. Hugil commanded a fee so this will do for now. Will provide necessary experience and goal threat option. Looking at other clubs Derby wolves they have plenty striking intent and prefer him to cameron jerome.

We know what our first team is. If Grabban wants to seize a chance he'll have to be good. Absolute no-brainer to get him in on loan.

[Mister E]

I remember his game against us earlier in the season: he ran the channels well and made space (his team mates didn’t do a very good job of finding him, however), and seemed to work hard. Might work well with Hogan.

[Dave P]

This could work well for us. Watching the game yesterday, Davis is great to bring on against a tiring defence. Hogan and Grabban could be the one to tire them out.

[SoccerHQ]

I know eff all about him, but we did need cover there, seems a smart no risk move.

Didn't he score v us this season?!

He'll do fine for us at this level. Scored decent amounts for Bournemouth, Norwich and a terrible Sunderland team so happy we've got this one done.

Our squad is looking very strong now. I'm struggling to see an area where we lack depth.

[andyh]

If he scores 20 goals between now and the end of the season for us I will buy a shirt with his name on the back.

Nice one.....serious laugh out loud moment 👏

[john e]

told my lad we signed Grabban

he said he's crap

He's only 9 but he's not impressed

[SoccerHQ]

Scored 22 goals in championship for Bournemouth in 13/14.

12 for Norwich the following season.

1 in the premier league.

A penalty at Villa Park for Reading last season.

12 goals for Sunderland in half a season which is really saying something with what they have up there.

[KevinGage]

When Bournemouth went up a few years ago they had about 15 forwards to call upon.

The quality in this league ain't all that, but you need to be thinking about rotating forwards and getting goals from all parts of the side.

The days of playing a regular CF partnership through the good times and bad are gone.

'spose beggars can't be choosers. Decent competition i guess for 4 months, but what we're gonna do in the summer if we go up is anyone's guess. Take a Man City type spend to get this squad anything other than relegation favourites

[TonyD]

I hope he doesn’t hinder the progress of Davis.   

[Percy McCarthy]

Allow me..

‘Kinell there are some quality finishes on there.

I think I was first to suggest him wasn’t I? It was a while ago.

I'm sure Kodjia could score a few in the prem.

Him, one of Davis/Hogan and a world class striker from somewhere and that should be enough.

the world class striker from somewhere is probably the tricky bit
