According to Ketts he can't get a Foreign loan until January, but he can get a short term domestic loan. I wonder whether Luzon will try to integrate him into the first team squad?
I can't see Tuc taking a league one loan or getting a championship loan so I suspect he's in the first team squad until January at least. If he works hard and wants it enough I can see Luzon getting the best out of him.
Be interesting if Luzon does want him though... He didnt give him much game time @ Standard Liege
Tuc won't play for us again, am almost sure of that. Not sure what type of man he is, that will determine whether he goes out on loan or sits in reserves until Jan.
The enigma that is Tuc. I agree with some comments above, I believe there is a good footballer in there somewhere, we've seen flashes of it in previous matches. Personally I would be happy to have him as a squad player, and also agree that maybe GL can get the best out him....we shall see.
If only he had knocked that chance in against the spanners, he would be a hero to one and all..............sigh.........!
Not ideal but he's far from useless and if his attitude's ok he could play a part, especially if any of those front line injuries recur. He'll be behind KAG now in the pecking order but they have different strengths / weaknesses.
I guess I'm the only one who was a fan of George and I think he made Vetokele a better player
George has something to offer but amongst other things, he has to learn how to be effective away from home. At least he got on the end of a few chances and that's a start.
George showed moments of real class, and I felt like he was slowly getting to grips with the pace of the league. Unfortunately, when we went through that awful patch, way too much responsibility was placed on his shoulders. He was asked to fill a giant Kermorgant-shaped hole, while compensating for the fact that Igor was perpetually hobbling and Church was perpetually shite. He definitely had some poor games toward the end, but that needs to be placed in the context of a team that didn't win for 3 months. Surrounded by players like Watt, Mak and a fit Igor, George could potentially thrive.

Yes, that was a struggling team. Someone new to England and English football was always going to find it hard. Buyens also went through a bad spell mid season, when he contributed nothing, it happens
His first half against Derby was probably one the the rare cases of a striker being almost unplayable.
Also, I remember the 2-0 v Bolton. Scored a goal of the season contender in the first half, and was heavily involved in another (laying off the ball to Jacko) in the second.
He had, real fitness issues, though. But if anyone can get the best out of him, it's Luzon.
But, without a shadow of a doubt, you could never have him and Watt on the pitch at the same time! Therein lies the stuff of nightmares...
the last three clubs he has been at (Liege, Us, Steaua) have all been looking to offload him reasonably quickly.
He is now racking up the 'failed to settle / make a positive impression' at successive clubs, and when one of those is back in your home country following unsuccessful spells abroad, that indicates a player whose career is heading south.

Plenty of goals there

Being able to pay their wages could be a problem though.
