Re: Loan Watch Thread

Wellington...maybe it's because of the league he's playing but damn! He looks awesome. Exactly how I imagined him because of his FIFA stats Laughing

Crowley ffs, looks like prime Wilshere in every match I've seen him play for Barnsley. Just on another level technically compared to the other players in his team.

The only problem I have with Zelalem is that he's playing against complete dross. At the beginning of summer I envisioned him playing ATLEAST against Championship level teams. Oh well, atleast he's playing regularly.

Ryo was far more exciting talent than Wellington Sad

by Jay29 Thu Sep 10, 2015 4:40 pm

Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden
It's 1st vs 2nd as Hull City travel away to Brighton, who have started the season in fine form, against all expectation. Akpom hasn't scored in five games now and will be desperate to get back on the scoresheet, while Hayden will, if not start, than at least get minutes off the bench. Saturday, 15:00.

Jon Toral
Birmingham face a tricky home fixture against recently promoted Bristol City, home to two former Arsenal youth players: the lesser-known Luke Ayling and the apparently-talented Luke Freeman. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was there, but he's now at QPR, of all places. Anyway, Toral is expected to start as an AM again. Saturday, 15:00.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Ipswich travel away to Reading for a Friday night game, at 20:00 (on Sky Sports). Niles will be looking for a better performance than the one that saw subbed at half-time in Ipswich's previous outing.

Wellington Silva and Emi Martinez
Grouping these two together since Bolton play Wolves on Saturday at 15:00. Wellington has shown glimpses of his talent in a pretty crap Bolton team, while Martinez has a fight on to win his spot in the team back.

Dan Crowley
Barnsley suffered a surprise defeat against newly-promoted Shrewsbury last time out. A tough game at home to Swindon, so close to being promoted to the Championship last season, awaits them on Saturday, 15:00.

Gedion Zelalem
Zelalem will look to continue his mounting domination of Scottish football when Rangers take on Livingston at Ibrox on Saturday, at 15:00.

Serge Gnabry
West Brom got a much needed win against Stoke before the international break. They'll now be looking to get their first win at home against Southampton on Saturday at 15:00. Gnabry is expected to start from the bench.

Carl Jenkinson
Jenkinson should be starting for West Ham on Monday against Newcastle.

Yaya Sanogo
Ajax play away to Twente on Saturday at 18:45. Who knows what Sanogo will be doing at that time.

Wojciech Szczesny
Szczesny will be hoping to build on his match-saving performance against Juventus with a solid outing against Frosinone on Saturday, at 17:00.

I still can't understand what Zelalem is doing there. smh

by T-Mach Fri Sep 11, 2015 3:53 am

Guess no people expected the league to be this easy or GZ to boss the league as he's been doing now.

Thankfully,he's just on a half-a-season loan deal.He can be probably loaned back to a Championship club in January.

by Jay29 Sat Sep 12, 2015 2:52 pm

Zelalem, Akpom, Hayden, Martinez, Toral and Wellington all start.

Serge Gnabry on the WBA bench.

by Jay29 Sat Sep 12, 2015 9:31 pm

Wellington won a penalty for Bolton, Toral get an assist for Birmingham, and Sanogo made a sub appearance for Ajax.

Akpom and Hayden played for a losing Hull team. Martinez conceded two goals for Wolves.

Gnabry was an unused sub in West Brom's draw against Southampton.

Szczesny kept a clean sheet for Roma.

Getting a lot of game time, playing well with a team in really good form

by Jay29 Tue Sep 15, 2015 10:38 pm

Jon Toral played 69 minutes in Birmingham's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Hayden an unused sub and Akpom a late second half sub in Hull's 2-0 win at Cardiff. Another game without a goal for Akpom.

Maitland-Niles played 84 minutes in Ipswich's win away to Leeds.

Wellington played 90 mins in Bolton's goalless draw with Sheff. Wednesday.

Karim Benzema scored for Real Madrid after missing a sitter
Cavani also scored for PSG

by Sina Tue Sep 15, 2015 10:56 pm

Draxman scored as well
promising loanees cheers

Szszesny vs Messi/Neymar/Suarez tonight.

Stay safe lad.

by T-Mach Thu Sep 17, 2015 6:24 am

Another decent performance by Silva.Very capable of beating his man and has got decent pace on him.Though he needs to improve his passing,decision making and defending which I believe he can with consistent playing time.

Anyone else believes this guy has a shot @ Arsenal?

watched the match and it give me proper CL feeling unlike our game

Szczesny had very good performance but somehow had to go off injured ;(

Rudiger was impressive too,they always find good defenders

by urbaNRoots Thu Sep 17, 2015 3:33 pm

Szczesny out for 6 weeks :facepalm:

Hope he doesn't lose his first choice spot.

by Jay29 Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:17 pm

A quick loanee round-up:

Maitland-Niles started for Ipswich against Birmingham on Friday. Toral was an unused sub. The game ended 1-1.

Emi Martinez kept a clean sheet against table-topping Brighton. WhoScored gave him a rating of 10. Must have played a blinder.

Wellington suffered for Bolton in their 4-1 loss to Huddersfield. I reiterate that Bolton suck.

Akpom made a sub appearance for Hull. Hayden was an unused sub.

Crowley wasn't in the Barnsley squad.

Zelalem started in Rangers' 2-1 win against Dumbarton.

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:19 pm

searched for Emi Martinez on twitter and every wolves fan is praising him. Seems like he saved a penalty and helped 10 men wolves salvage a point

Made 8 saves + saved a pen :bow:

by El Gunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:55 pm

Should win an Emmy tomorrow Proud

by Jay29 Tue Sep 22, 2015 9:13 pm

Jon Toral on for Birmingham in their game against Villa. Villa 1-0 with 20 mins to go. Really intense atmosphere, too.

by Jay29 Sun Sep 27, 2015 1:49 pm

Watching Zelalem play against Morton. He has the complete freedom of the pitch to do what he likes due to a mixture of good movement and poor marking. The commentator aptly described his performance as "playing like he's in a testimonial, he's got so much room".

He got another assist.

by RealGunner Sun Sep 27, 2015 1:52 pm

What position jay? CM/CAM/DM/Refgista?

by Jay29 Sun Sep 27, 2015 2:19 pm

One of the CMs in a 4-3-3, though he plays like a CAM.

by EL Patron Sun Sep 27, 2015 4:30 pm

The most important thing for him at the moment is to get game time at a professional level. At least at Rangers , there is pressure to perform and win, he has to be strong and show a bit of fight. If he keeps playing well then he will progress at a higher level and we will see how good is he.

That's like a year wasted though.

Well atleast he is playing unlike Gnabry. Should've never loaned him to a team that is managed by Pulis.

by Jay29 Mon Sep 28, 2015 9:57 pm

Gnabry on the bench again for West Brom, didn't come on. West Brom blew a 2-0 lead against Everton and lost 3-2.

This loan is already turning into a massive waste of time for him.
