Surprised we have not had another look at Joe Lolley, could play alongside Jack and McGinn.


He's been garbage this season.

He has yet to hit the heights of last season and been anonymous in some matches but on what planet is 6 goals and 4 assists 'garbage'? Bit extreme

Planet Championship mate.

He's scored the same amount of goals in 26 games as Jack managed in 34 games in the Championship last year, and he's only 3 assists behind. I wouldn't be so quick to describe that as garbage, even on 'Planet Championship'.

I'd wager Hourihane has a better ratio than both, but he's not good enough in this league either.

That wasn't the point being made. The OP said Lolley has been garbage this season and I was debating that. I never said he's Prem standard.

I guess the same one where Wesley is "shit" for 5 goals and an assist in 5 less games in the league above.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a midfielder also come in. Deadline day could be a little interesting.

January, though. "After" and "getting" can be poles apart.

We've refused to take Hogan back and Stoke don't want to pay the loan fee, so they're looking for another club to take him on.

That's a bulletproof negotiating position taken by our oat-loving cousins.
