Van La Parra . . . Should we make a bid?

Cowfold Seagull · Dec 13, 2015

With our wingers seemingly dropping like flies at the moment, Solly March out for a while I would think, LuaLua missing for a few more weeks too, that really only leaves Jamie Murphy as a fully fit winger. Ok Elvis Manu can play there too, but Chris Hughton seems reluctant to start him in games.

Bearing this in mind, should we make a bid in January to bring Ranjiv Van La Parra to the Albion on a permanent deal?
.

Seen precious little of him so far of course, but loved his incisive run and finish for the goal yesterday, and seems to be able to cross a good ball too.

What do we think?

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't something in the pipeline already. I'm only guessing so not itk, or anything.

Worth a look at the right price for additional depth to the squad

BensGrandad · Dec 13, 2015

Having been impressed with him when he played at The Amex against us I hope the loan deal was done with a view to permenant in January.

Unfortunately being top of the league, and wanting to take a player off a rival club is unlikely to mean the right price

I guess there may of already been a future fee agreed as part of the loan deal.

Wolves though are up for sale. Cash and a player off the wage bill, means that they may be happy to cut a deal. I like VLP, he offers something totally different to Solly March and swapping these two is enough to keep any full back on his toes.

Sussex Nomad · Dec 13, 2015

He's impressed in the two games and our two loanees scored yesterday. Wolves will be loathed to let him go if he performs at a good level. He did play nearly a full season for them last year. They'll look for something hefty if he plays well for us, or want to keep him.

Hang on, perspective. We signed him because we needed a player but in a window you have more choice and capability to make signings, let's not get carried away just yet. I'm sure there are other targets we'd be happier with.

nwgull · Dec 13, 2015

What's the story with RVP and Wolves, and why he couldn't get into their match day squad? Did he fall out with someone?

pishhead · Dec 13, 2015

He looked over the moon with his goal yesterday, who did he go to celebrate with on the bench? He's a different type of winger so I think we should sign him.

You say we have more choice, it's always notoriously difficult to land the right sort of player in the January window, as teams are reluctant to sell quality players in the middle of the season.

Sussex Nomad · Dec 13, 2015

He's not Solly or Kaz, but he has certainly shown he can play a game. I like him, not getting carried away but he looks good. And dare I say this? CH is a genius for getting in another winger. I didn't see that we needed one. Ohhhh for a left back, although Calde is doing a fine job.

Soulman · Dec 13, 2015

Just like to say that whilst we are talking about Kaz and Solly, Murphy has been doing a very good job as well. His cross with his unfavoured foot yesterday for Wilson's goal was spot on. In fact his crossing is getting better every game and he has weighed in with a couple of crucial goals.

Jordan Graham is doing well for Wolves at the moment which is good for us if we want to sign VLP.

If you have Player, look out for his interview just after signing. He's really quite unhappy at Wolves.

Turkey · Dec 13, 2015

Lets see how he gets on in the next few games. Were a few grumbles after he messed up a couple of attacking opportunities yesterday although took his goal well.

Manu, which is encouraging. Lest we forget our other Dutch winger....

Beach Hut · Dec 13, 2015

The story according to my Wolves STH work colleague is he is shit and has a bad attitude, NB I got a text from this colleague after he had scored saying FFS he did nothing for us and made no effort.

Perhaps a spell in the beautiful South might be just the tonic for this player

Sussex Nomad · Dec 13, 2015

If they were all fit would our starters be Kaz and Solly? If so, our underlings have done a fantastic job.
