The only thing that is curious about this is the length of the loan period.
Why take a relatively unused/unproven very young striker for just such a short period ?
The questions that this poses are far more interesting than the rest of the bitching on this thread.

I don't think Zamora was a proven striker when he came here on loan.So, who knows?
Yeah, decent player.

Have been reading the comments on here with some interest. It might be useful if everyone read the comments posted on Sky back in September which I am attaching a link to. Maybe this will explain why Chris Wood could be an excellent catch for the Seagulls. Its now time to put some faith and trust in Gus :albion1::thumbsup :Sky Sports | Football | News | Ten clubs chasing Wood
Chris Wood update
west brom fans reckon it's a "youth" loan - so he can go back and play in west broms youth/reserve team at any time?!! - maybe that's why it's innovative?

Yes, looks a permanent signing in Jan if he impresses. As others have said, there's no sense in taking him on a c6 week loan otherwise.

I doubt Gus would want one of his first team squad going back to the Midlands to play in some tin pot Ressie game. Very very doubtful

Which also means that he's potentially played some of those games as a 17 year old.
3-4 years younger than Barnes (who's incredibly young still) and whom is in the top 5 striker in League One.
So I'm not sure how he's suppossed to have become prolofic while still learning his craft.
A lot of people don't seem to have much patience or belief in a long term plan.

Why? See how he does then sign him on loan for the rest of the season. Doesn't have to be a permanent signing and seeing what West Brom say about him doubt they would let him go anyway

barnes
murray
holroyd
sandaza
adgestein
woods and barnes to start (if hes decent) with murray coming of the bench?

A Rovers fan has just been over to my desk saying they've been trying to sign him for 2 years now. He's gutted, especially given tomorrow's fixture.

Would be suprised if this resulted in a permanent deal in January as he signed a very long contract at WBA and seems to be very much in their future plans. It's probably only short term so both sides can see how it goes and if all agree could be extended.

You could be right, but it just seems rather odd given that we don't seem to be any more in need of a striker now than we have been for the past 3 months. I suppose it could be due to the continued absence of Sandaza.
I must say having read West Brom's press release it does look as if they are expecting to hold onto him. Given what Gus has said about not being a great fan of loans I can't really see the logic behind the signing if it's now with a view to a permanent move.
However in Gus we trust.
Get him to do the HAKA in front of the South Stand tomorrow

To all you clairvoyants out there, can you please give me Saturdays lottery numbers. If not then shut up with your stupid predictions about a talented player who has not yet kicked a ball for us.
He left Barnsley by mutual consent, possibly did not suite there style of play. However I am sure that Gus has run his eye over him, and noted that he is slow an over weight, and decided at "that will do nicely".
And to you guys that thought he was a replacement for K K, read the press release 1st.
PS, K K, is not Klu Klux

A youth loan is just work experience which only applies to players on youth team contracts. I'm pretty sure he's on a pro deal so it doesn't make much sense.
