    He came on as sub in 86th minute this weekend. He's been out injured so maybe he will push on now and see what happens up till the January window. If he hasn't progressed and there is a release clause then I could see him return then.

    We need a striker with an eye for the goal not another midfield player. Why did we ever sell Britt Assombalonga?

    Must say I'm astonished at the negativity around the club at the moment from many fans. A short bad run of 4 points from 15 (previously won 4 out of 5) and the doom mongers are out in force! I think we have all seen that there has been a lack of steel in our midfield recently. Ireney offers this to a degree but can be a bit lax at times. Why cant we give this guy a chance. He has clearly been monitored a long time and seems to fit the bill according to the club.....

    He is quite young, that is my only concern, but from what I saw on Saturday our midfield has gone missing anyway!

    Maybe because those that see him on the training field every day and in practice matches etc thought he wasn't ready or good enough for the Championship?
    Just a thought.......

    You've confused me - who are you talking about? Battocchio, Iriney or......?

    I'm pretty sure we will, but I think fans are a bit bemused at the moment as to why we need so many midfielders when we need a striker pronto.

    It states it's a youth loan - does that mean he cannot play for the reserves or youth team?

    It seems as if the problem with Abdi continues and GFZ doesn't know when he will be available again, so maybe he is happy to try another player on a short term loan that plays a similar role.

    The trouble with too many 'fans' is that their expectations after last season have been raised too high. Some seemed to think that we only needed to put a team out and we would walk it. This is the Championship and every team will have to fight for three points. No one just gives them to you.

    One of the problems with the WEB and stuff like Twatter - it's too easy for trolls and imposters. Best left ignored!

    Sorry I realise I forgot to 'reply with quote', I can see why it was confusing!

    It was in reply to the earlier quote "We need a striker with an eye for the goal not another midfield player. Why did we ever sell Britt Assombalonga?"

    Because too many supporters couldn't pronounce his name?

    Because he didn't seem up for it, and even Posh fans complain that he's just a 'shot' and doesn't seem to try very hard when off the ball. Certainly it seemed that way to me on the few occasions he played...

    I am confused. Why do we need so many midfield players? That was the origin of my comment.

    One goal keeper, nine midfield and Troy Deeney is not a team.

    Agreed. My original response to Geitunger's quote (which I forgot to include his quote hence my post was meaningless!!) was as follows....

    Maybe because those that see him on the training field every day and in practice matches etc thought he wasn't ready or good enough for the Championship?
