Another goal for Deniz. Getting silly now.
He really is a fabulous finisher. He maybe a Lineker/Maupay hybridAbsolutely stunning that one.
Hopefully Sima can grab one for the Rangers tonight too!
9 goals from 13 appearances in a top European league is deeply impressive.He really is a fabulous finisher. He maybe a Lineker/Maupay hybrid
You missed out Leonard - Northampton fans have been delighted with him.It's been a real mixed bag of loans this first half of the season. Some standout performers (Sima, Undav, Moran, Rushworth, Beadle) and some who aren't even seeing the pitch.
Peupion already recalled.
Possible recalls from disappointing loans?: Ayari, Kozlowski, Weir. Turns doesn't seem to have had a chance to push on which is a shame as left footed CBs are valuable.
and also wonder whether it's time to put Alzate in the shop window in the Championship - having been preciously f***ed up in the window he certainly deserves the chance!
Yeh, thought it might be something like that. I still think it's a shame he never got the chance to shine in the Championship and perhaps make a career for himself in the lower end of the PL. I thought he did enough for us, TBH, to demonstrate he was at that level.Alzate is currently injured, which is a shame as he'd played nearly every minute for Standard Liege since he joined (missed 1 game through suspension). I'm not sure how long he's out for but it looks like he's picked up an ankle strain so hopefully not too long. He's also out of contract at the end of the season and I don't think we have a years option so there isn't much of a shop window to put him in unfortunately. He seems quite happy over there so he'd probably be keen to stay put, unless we can get a fee in January, but he's free to negotiate a contract with any club outside of England from January, so he holds a lot more of the cards than we do.
If he's back we may need him.Some news on the Odel Offiah front - it seems that Wigan Athletic, currently near the bottom of League1 are after him for a half season loan. Good news, if that means his health scares (whatever they were) are now behind him. Wonder why he hasn't gone back to Hearts though - he seemed to be doing a decent job for them when he played, and the fans seemed to like him. Anyway, good luck to him if the Wigan move comes off - he should at least get a good welcome at his uncle's old stomping ground!

Unlikely - it would f*** up his potential loan to Wigan (or anybody else). For maybe just one match it would be harsh on the lad, who needs a loan to get some regular senior game time.If he's back we may need him.
Well, that's at least one of our out-field loanees kicking up a storm - the rest? Not so much. In the Championship, only Rushworth starts - Moran, having seemingly been doing alright, drops to the bench along with regular bench warmers Ayari and Sarmiento.Two assists for Marc Leonard tonight.
