Didn't even get on for Forest today. Another pointless loan. When he was playing here he looked better than Ramirez, Aluko or Hernandez have done and they've all been getting game time. We're lacking attacking players and he's sat on Forest's bench watching Fryatt score. It's a mad situation. Get him recalled.
Said at the time we should have kept him. Whilst telling my Forest-supporting mate I was gutted he was leaving us for them.
I would hardly call it freezing him. He wasn't fully fit for nearly a season and half and when he did come back to full fitness we'd spent £15m on strikers. That's the way it works out sometimes.
But when he came back from injury at the end of last season he did seem to resume doing what he does best and offered something we'd lacked - ie poaching goals from 6 yards. As well as a decent strike at Old Trafford! I cannot believe some still slate him even after the 16 goal season he had for us. And he seems to be scoring for fun at Forest too at the moment although their recent bad run could be due to one of his infamous "dry-spells" I really would have kept him, although like others have said he would never have been guaranteed a permanent starting lineup place this season. Hence, can understand if he left by his own choice.
Completely agree. Ramirez has been completely ineffective yet Bruce keeps bringing him on as a sub. Aluko had one good performance away at Lokeren yet Bruce started him in a key game against Burnley which we should have won in a walkover although they fluked another win today at Stoke despite being massively outplayed the whole game. In contrast Ince showed he was a goal scoring threat with real speed in his appearances early in the season. I think Hernandez has shown his quality in brief flashes but has had little support since Jellys injury. Ince should never have been sent out...sitting on the bench at Forest is as you say complete madness!!
Has the Ince fee ben sorted yet? Maybe once it is we can get him back and start him a lot more, if the rumours on here were actually true..
I have a feeling that the fact that a fee hasn't been agreed has got something to do with his loan move. I watch both games he played in for the U21 over the last 2 weeks and he played very well, which does make it strange he didn't get used by Forest yesterday.
Ramirez hasn't even had a fair go yet. Wait until he starts a few games before judging him. He can't do much from the bench
We are not ever going to get the best out of either HBA or Ramirez unless we play a swifter, more counter attacking style of football. We don't move the ball quick enough to give them the space to exploit their speed and guile.
Agreed Ernie. Though i cant see them both fitting into our side at the same time. Ramirez will go back in the loan window i reckon.
I agree he'd of been a decent squad player. But he didn't want that. We offered him a improve contract and he rejected it.
