bobbyshinton 59 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Bit of a pisser for Ranger. First Lovenkrands now Harewood. Hope the lad still gets chances to play. I don't give a fuck who plays as long as they are the best player available. agree and it is better to have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE690 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Don't have a problem with more cover. Just think Ranger did well enough in his first team debut to earn a few more starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Don't have a problem with more cover. Just think Ranger did well enough in his first team debut to earn a few more starts. At the same time he didn't look like he could lead the line very well on his own. He just doesn't look ready. Nothing against the lad but if Shola and Carroll are injured it would be a big ask of Ranger to play upfront away in the Championship in particular.

Park Life 71 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 If he's running really fast when he runs into you it really hurts apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Quite easily have him in on loan. People need to remember what level we are actually at and stop turning there noses up at players who would be more than good enough for this squad. Not turning up my nose. Just don't think he is all that great for this level. But then I never would have thought shola would have had 5 goals by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10429 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'd be happy with this. Can't imagine we'll be paying a lot for his services, we're not tied to it long term and he should do well enough at this level. Don't understand why people are against his move here? Sure he's no Shola, but he's a big strong quick centre forward who's got experience both at this level and in the top flight. Were people expecting Macheda on loan or something?

Guest alex Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'd love to know who we'd get on loan who be a better option. And while we're short on defenders, especially a centre-half, makeshift defenders can usually do a job more easily than makeshift forwards whereas if you've got proper forwards you'll always cause the opposition problems, especially at this level.

NJS 4256 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Sure he's no Shola The more options we have for when Ameobi reverts to his true self the better. I don't think he's done well because of the level - he's just had his very occassional good spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's done well because of the level - he's just had his very occassional good spell. Think he was taking the piss. As Chez points out though he's injured again. I seem to remember Caroll being unavailable a fair bit in the short time since he broke into the first team squad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffidae 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 with Shola out for a couple of months, Lovenkrands unfit at the mo’, and Carroll with dubious fitness, it’s a no brainer, get him in. The only thing that worries me is announcing it to the world first and alerting other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4437 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 It's because hull were about to sign him on proper wages etc on a three year deal then pulled out at the last minute. We were only offering the loan which at the time was a poor deal in comparison. Now our deal is the only show in town (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19309 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Didnt Harewood have a decent season once for West Ham? I agree what J2J says, wise words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6581 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Given the circumstances he's an excellent loan signing. And what's more, he doesn't have to be the only one. Can certainly see which of those on here have no recollection of the pre-Keegan times. When you compare Harewood to the likes of Terry Wilson, Tommy Gaynor, Paul Moran, Andy Walker & Dave Mitchell on loan, he's streets ahead of them by comparison.
