Very raw - big strong, suprising rubbish in the air- might be somebody who could be useful and develop for us next season so could be a good thing - If we are not looking beyond this season, can't see why we need to extend him.

Perhaps because the loan window has closed ....... so we couldn't bring another player in on loan to replace him.
Don't forget we've had a big loss letting Abbott and Costello go.
We only have 6 games so sure we could save some money and manage with what we have - that is unless we have a longer term plan with big Frank Bruno...sorry Nouble

Not one of ours though. I know I'm being harsh but just don't see why we are wasting the rest of the season helping develop another clubs players. He might come good and we might decide he's worth a long loan next year but I can't see it happening on what I've seen so far.
I think that a lot of people forget that he's only 19. He isn't the best in the air but very comfortable with the ball at his feet, admittedly hasn't looked that great but I think he still has the potential to develop into a good player.
For a big guy he has quick feet and he's strong too. He also has a piledriver of a shot, but he is weak in the air, something that can come with experience. I think he's half decent, and seeing as we have no big guys up top at the moment I think he can still do a job.

He gives us the 'big man' option to lead the line, I suppose.
Someone to play alongside BWP or whoever - or just someone who can hold the ball up without getting easily knocked off it.
Now Abbott and Costello are gone, and Cotton Wool Joe is well, wrapped up in cotton wool 4 games in 5 ......we need someone else who can play that role. Over to you, Frank.
At age 19 and coming into a team in the middle of a dreadful run I think the kid has done well enough. As said further up the thread if this allows CP time to assess him for next season or not then I think it's positive. Yes he is raw but West Ham have high hopes and they seem to know a good kid when they see one.

(seriously wealthy owners).
So frankly, we can afford quality players like Frank.
just hope we aren't looking at Big Frank for next season otherwise I'll cancel my chq I sent them last week.
Would rather give one of the kids a run out............or me.

Might be enough to convince CP that he's not the answer or convince us doubters that he is.

I nominate AFKA's 'orrible pun for this year's, erm ......'Nouble Please Prize'.
