Ashley Fletcher to return in January...

I wonder if we are in for him as a loan signing in january, with only seven appearances in the prem and he's not getting a run of games. If I was hecky I would be enquiring about him. It would benefit West Ham and us significantly if we got him firing in the championship.

Your thoughts...

Without a doubt...

 

Not a chance. No way will West Ham loan someone out who is getting game time in the Prem, or least warming their bench.

 

Agreed. Unless they sign 1 or 2 strikers in January. Which they may well do. In which case if Fletcher becomes 5 or 6 choice he strikes me as the kind of player who wants games.

6 months in the championship, score plenty of goals, then go back to West Ham to challenge for 1st team starts next season.

 

I love wishful thinking me.

 

You say only 7 appearances, but even Fletch is surprised at the amount of game time he's getting.

West Ham are a bit thin on the ground in terms of attacking options so it will be down to whether they sign a striker or two in January.

They had £20 million aside for one in the summer and didn't sign one.

Leeds are supposedly still sniffing round Fletcher too.

Some people smell the roses. While others only smell the **** they grow in.

 

A nice alternative to glasses half full/empty. I'll remember that one.

 

Brilliant!

Unless WH are desperate I can only see 1 outcome. Weve the best rep with this of sort of thing under Hecky and co.

 

I don't think they will to be honest, he's a solid squad player for them, on the bench more often than not.

Then there's the question - what message does that send to our strikers? We've got some top laikers, plus Payne has proven himself to be a massive threat and will give us even more options when he returns.

If anything I'd be looking to re-evaluate our wingers, the pace is there but the final product has got worse.
