The Russian has gone on loan to Cambridge.
I presume that means they're very confident Tammy won't change his mind.

RHM really needs to step up and hopefully this loan can be the start for him.

It’s a shame Cambridge didn’t ask for Hogan.

Not going to question DS judgement but he has a horrendous injury record (2 ACL injuries) at 21 is very worrying even when DS-JT & co went to watch him at WBA he came off injured ……...
The last Henry we nearly had on our books is now languishing near the bottom of a French league. Perhaps we might be better off with Lenny from Sandwell.

8 points between us and WBA with a home game to come
we do need to get going again and could pip them come the end of the season

we were the better side by far when we played them at their place even with Barnes
 (although he was one of the best players on the pitch that night)

Barnes is good but WBA's results always dip when Dwight Gayle picks up a hamstring injury. Not sure if he's back this weekend for them or not

Villa's coach driver is on twitter?

Why not, he's just a man like you and me?

Being linked with Everton's James McCarthy.  Is he the sort of player we really need?  I don't know much about him.

Would add a lot more mobility and presence in midfield (if over injuries). However, he is certainly not a playmaker. He used get loads of abuse playing for Ireland for turning his back on the centre backs and not trying to get on the ball.

One day we'll be linked with someone that's actually played in the last couple of years.

In a Bruce team yes, in a Smith team that's trying to play out and build from the back he's a terrible choice from what I've seen of him. I'd be amazed if this one isn't bullshit.

Yes, for definite. Did a good job for Ireland at Euro 2016 as the holding midfielder in a midfield diamond.

His injury problems since then have been significant, only 16 league games in 2.5 seasons is a huge worry. We need someone to come in and start regularly so we aren't relying on Whelan, Jedinak or Lansbury.

Isaac Hayden from Newcastle presumably a best choice?
