I will put it up as soon as i hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wiljan Pluim is one of the names I've heard for the Dutch lads. Bloody hell. 6ft 3 attacking midfielder with Eredivise experience? Crumbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosser30 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 What's wrong with giving all our 6ft 3 attacking midfielders from the U20's a chance?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe cover for Pearson yes but, if no extension ??? Ok I'll say what a few others are thinking. I reckon he's being brought in as cover or short term replacement for Keith Lasley. Given that he's a defensive player who would partner him in the middle in an attacking role other than Pearo?

Second Best Dressed Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Jope van den Ouweland is the other Dutch player i have been told. Seemingly playing in Jupiler League with FC Oss but had a bit of a run in with some rival fans on a night out with supporters??? Chairman has been touting him round clubs throughout Europe during the window with no luck might release him for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davef Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 What about that Latvian guy rumoured the other week, Pulyarp Loncor. Three week loan, not even long enough to be underwhelmed but understandable for some no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Saw this in the Scotsman today, lifted from a report in the Sheffield Star Hooper move falls through after VIP box rowGARY Hooper’s proposed loan move to Sheffield Wednesday fell through after the Owls refused to throw in a £30,000-a-year VIP box for the former Celtic striker.The Hillsborough club had already agreed to pay the Canaries a £500,000 loan fee and were set to pay Hooper’s £32,000-a-week wages in full.However, Hooper pulled out of the switch after Wednesday reportedly refused to give him the VIP box for his friends and family. I can't imagine Norwich will be too happy with him if it's true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head 2 defensive mids in a 4231, I'd say at the moment he's more likely to be replacing Leitch than Lasley. Different story if it's 442 though. It also asks the question of what Taylor's role actually is too: Ripley Law/Watt - Laing/Kennedy - McManus - Hammell/Chalmers Lasley - Grimshaw Ainsworth - McDonald - Thomas/Johnson Moult/Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 where would Theo Robinson fit in? 3 players for the up top role now. One of the 2 strikers we'd have on the bench or he'd start and we'd have Moult and Fletcher on the bench. Realistically it looks like we're going to be playing McDonald +1 whatever happens.

weeyin Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 On the Chariman's blog today, I noticed the quote "And when the club repays the loans, ownership will transfer from Les Hutchison to the society.." So it does seem that it's the club that is servicing the loan. However, we really do need some clarity on the exact nature of the financing.

Del_Superwell Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 As far as I was aware then if the well society couldn't afford to finance any of the loans then the club would then have to pay Les Hutchison, that to me just means the club is losing money needlessly.

Onus on club to pay back but if they can't the WS agreed to help out with shortfalls. Loan was to club, not WS. In an ideal situation the club would become self sufficient ASAP, pay back the loan payments as planned over 5 yrs and the WS would have a pot of cash. I think that it was explained in one of the early communications...found it...http://www.thewellsociety.co.uk/category/news/page/4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we started with Las & Grimshaw it would be a very defensive central midfield indeed. I too am unsure about Taylor's probable role. I think it'd be Pearson and like yourself think we'd see a rotation between Lasley and Grimshaw. Very much doubt it would happen on account of our striker surplus but there's scope for us even going 451 with Lasley as an anchorman in front of the defence & Grimshaw along with Pearson as the two CM. Something like this would have matched up well vs Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
