Ricky Holmes was injury prone when we brought him in, and only really played after Christmas in the title winning season! Eppiah is quality, and without the inconsistent fitness issues would be playing at a higher level than league 2. Is a risk but, as with Holmes if we can get a good run of games out of him could be the difference come the end of the season.

Great point on Holmes - we took a punt and got lucky as without doubt he was instrumental in that fantastic season - he would probably also concede that was the best half season of his entire career. There is also a truism in football that players on a great run (individual and as a team) have less injuries so for me definitely worth the gamble.

He's definitely worth bringing in, even if he only plays 25 games. He has that quality that can make a difference in a match and turn those draws into wins.

In the Chronic it says the club are playing a waiting game, waiting for what exactly? Someone else to buy him.

So did that Portugese nutter we had on loan from some Polish team, ex forest. Going forward, you never knew what he was going to do, and couldnt defend to save his life. Last heard of playing in China. I hope that he had his jabs.
Hildeberto Pereira - one of Jimmy-Floyd's odd signings, although he was exciting at times. Got sent off after the final whistle in one game for having a rant at Breakspeare, never a wise thing to do.

I expect they are waiting for Leicester to agree to a loan instead of a sale. Or maybe they want to get him after being released for no fee before a permanent signing? TBH I would prefer a permanent signing. Theres some risk agreed, but with the loan players we have who might come good (Leonard/Bowie). We get a season then they are gone. Do we want that from Eppiah if he comes, rather he was here on contract, if we lose him after a year we will at least get some compensation

Yeah, agreed, so much better to have your own players and like you say if he comes good he’s our asset to sell.

What sort of contract terms do people think will be enough to get him in permanently? Two year deal with an option for a third, and with a significant sell on clause for Leics is going to be the minimum I reckon.

As i have said before , Eppiah is on far too much money to bring in permanently . He has a year left to run and he will hardly give that up . There is concern over injury and not being left paying for a player that can’t play . Of course , there are solutions to these problems .

12 month loan with a view to a permanent deal, you would probably put a break clause in after 6 months but that can be problematic as we know all to well with Etete.

A smart move by Brady. More than likely triggered by magloire’s performances

It would have had nothing to do with Magloires performance as he only joined us 3 weeks ago and negotiations with Guthrie were opened well before that. Great news that Jon is staying as I thought he was the better part of the Guthrie/Horsfall partnership. Regarding Magloire he is still young and likely to be a little inconsistent but shows he has the ability to become a vital asset, probably why he was given a 3 year contract.

So thats the central defensive pair locked in for 3 years, we know Guthrie can do a job there and Magloire (despite needing some match fitness) is a very competent player with enough class to make playing out of defence a possibility.
