looks quite possible, personally think we need a new striker but is he better than BWP and big Yann?
Better? I dunno, but personally I'd be very happy if we signed someone as promising, young and quick as Schlupp and he be worse than BWP or Kermit. I think the plan is to get someone to push those guys.
I heard a whisper to this effect from someone at the club.
Hang on Schluup. Schluupy Hang On!
Not sure what the benefit to him is though: It'd be very difficult to see anyone coming in and being a first choice, so what's the benefit to a youngster looking to get 1st team football? Dozens of teams could provide him that.
I'm sure Cort was not promised a 1st team place,nor Ephraim who was fortunate that JJ got injured. It seems "come and fight for your place" seems to be the mantra to loanees

Good post. We all recall that old debate when Pardew/Parkinson seemed to have dozens of ueless loanees cluttering up the team. Some tried to characterise it as an argument against loan players per se, but I don't think it was ever that. It was against the indiscriminate way they were being used and the fact that most of them weren't very good and some of them were patently unfit!
Powell seems to have exactly the right approach to loans and he doesn't seem to offer guarantees to the loaning club that their players are going to get an automatic starting place.

Perfect cover for BWP, think he is going to be good this kid.
A Leicester fan on their forum said a few weeks ago that Schlupp was coming to us on loan, would be a good signing if it happens.
Hang on Schluup. Schluupy Hang On!

Jesus christ. we're now making up songs for players who are currently nothing to do with us. I'd better start working on my Agbonglahor song just in case..................
