Due to sign next week finally. Good centre back but... massively injury prone. On a year long loan. I guess he can go back if the injuries return but I suppose this is where we are and we need to keep fingers crossed he can stay off the treatment table and not become the new Matthew Rose around the place. He was meant to sign two weeks ago but suffered a fall at the signature table and sprained his arm and ankle.
Watford fan at work likes him but says he's fragile, which his record supports. 16 games for Blackburn last year restricted by one injury, now delayed coming in here because of another. Hmmmm.

Well fingers crossed, but I think we all agree what we really need back there is a super hard bstard who will head the bloody thing and won't go off even if his teeth are kicked out after landing on the ground having cleared a ball off the line with his boll)cks. Clint, but younger, basically. This doesn't sound like him. Not like the last centre back from Watford we had on loan for a year worked out well...
Bare bones.

I’ve heard he’s still thought of highly there and that there was hope from some that he wouldn’t be loaned out and would stay and fight for a place in the team.
But at his age at 23, and after some injury issues that he’s hopefully put behind him, he really ought to be looking to play week in, week out, and properly re-establish himself for the sake of his fulfilling own potential and career.

Hopefully this happens and hopefully he's ready to play 163 games this season as the Championship requires - Good Luck to him.
I did however hear he was out injured until October????
Surely the one player from Blackburn we want from last year is Gallagher - I can't see his parent club keeping or using him this season. Get him. Get goals.
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Sounds like a Sandro to me without a £10 mil price tag so mustn't grumble really, going in the right direction. And if he gets crocker more than he already is he goes back to tWa tford.

What's Dan Shittu doing these days? Can we bring him out of retirement?

It must be exacerbating for the boy, seemingly able but perpetually disabled.
The writing is already on the wall with this one, but like others, I do wonder if the somewhat fou-fou spelling of his first name, mentally contributes to his brittleness? Generally, a 'Tommy' is a robust guts and glory character, the likes of which you want beside you in the trenches when the whistle blows to go over the top. Not a wussy Tommie or Nikki or Marc with a 'C' for that matter. Because for every Marc Bircham, there are hordes of Marc Almonds.
I'm not familiar with this Tommie chap, so may I enquire; does he sport tatts and a beard? Is he a hipster in other words? Not much granite in them chaps in my view. All this being said however, one assumes the 'ie' withstanding, in the brave new utopia of well researched and technically considered decision making; he's the 'right sort'.

I don't get this one why take a loan on someone else's sick note unless it's for him to prove his fitness for a permanent move to L. R , surely we can't be that skint that we can only get this sort of risk

I succumbed, and looked on the font that is wikipedia. When we talk about the '16 games' he played last season at Blackburn, he hadn't recorded any professional games since the end of the 14/15 season.
That is not an awful lot of football over the course of two seasons. In view of the fact that we have another young and talented player in Jack Robinson, also going through major injury issues this early in their career, it looks ominous for them both.
I agree with you, that given our precarious situation, it looks a bloody huge gamble to take on Hoban. Looking at a pic of him on wiki, he reminds me a bit of Jonathan Woodgate; good player, blighted by injuries.
Either way, good luck to them both this season.

We've regularly cured players of their various ills and agues. Take, for example, Armand Traore who was cured of his motivation to play football by a patient, steady infusion of money on a weekly basis which slowly weaned him off his need to work.
