Don't know anything about the lad but good luck to him if he does come here, no doubt some will say we need a proven experienced striker if true.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Yes everyone says we need an experienced or proven striker........

........but if no experienced strikers are prepared to come here because of the COVID clause in any contract, or for any other reason, then what is Ollie to do?

Matt Dean was only retweeting Birmingham Live who were reporting it. Its from their end, not ours.

Well he seems to have a sweet left welly on him, and can take penalties too.

There is a showreel made by WBA of all aspects of play. Unfortunately the camerawork is worse than iFollow!

https://youtu.be/fDHDbgOlyPs

Some more of his goals can be found on YouTube too.

Yes but we have until Deadline Day 2 to get that one over the line, although it'd be nice to get it done so he can play on Saturday

The bottom line is that Holloway actually knows less people than he thinks he does......

Why's he wasting "our" money? West Brom would be covering his wages, the lad won't cost us a bean and knowing squeaky, the chances are he'll be charging West Brom did the privilege of allowing one if their players to come here!!🤣🤣

In all seriousness, the parent club would pick up circa 60-80% of the players wages depending on the deal struck, but if they believe the loan to be of a significantly high standard they can agree to pick up the tab as it's the development of their player that matters most. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised that any loan deal we agree would require the parent club to be paying the players wages and we will pay any costs, ie accomodation, food, travel etc.

It may be poor camera work but he seems to have an impressive range of skills. Hard working, quick, good touch and hold up, brave and links well. No way would he have let Macca take 'that penalty'!

As promising as he looks, he is very young and inexperienced. Not sure we need another young player like him unless he is exceptional for his age. Then what do I know?

Sounds like he's ready to go straight into the team on Saturday.

Incidentally, how many loan players are we allowed to name in our match day squad of 18? If the Bennett deal goes through in time we'll have 6 loans (all 1-year deals):

Preston
Morton
Taylor
Bennett
Edwards
Windsor

Depends what he’s like. Remember when we signed completely unproven Martin Paterson on loan and it was clear from about 5 minutes in that he was probably the best striker in the division.  
Granted we’ve had some shite loans but just because this kids don’t have the experience, doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t have the quality.

5 in a squad and you would assume Preston and Bennett would play most weeks so that is 3 from the others. It would probably be a choice between Morton and Taylor. Edwards is a good impact player due to his pace and unpredictability.

Lincoln already have two young strikers from West Brom on loan with them, one of whom joined earlier this week, so this lad is obviously well down their pecking order.

Still never judge a player on paper, on what previous clubs fans say but wait until I have seen them play a few games for town.

Yeah, fair comment. Wasn't doubting the new lad, just wondering how ready he is to improve on what we have. Just seems odd when we have three young strikers already signed to the club who don't seem to be anywhere near the first team. Perhaps they are seen as ones to develop for the future? Anyway, I'm sure IH knows what he's doing.

I expected this question to be asked in that interview on the OS. I assume Holloway is aware of the rules, unlike a certain other manager who seemed to have absolutely no idea (clue: he had no hair).
