Is the Mbenza deal a permanent one?

Willocks a gamble i suppose. Very unproven. But regardless he simply can't be any less use to us than Mbenza was. Very true! Had a quick look at the Baggies board. Seems he’s put in some good performances for the u23s and they can’t understand why he hasn’t had a first team chance. Some conspiracy theories about additional payments due to Benfica if he does, who are understandably not happy with his lack of first team game time. More likely is that West Brom are just well overstocked with talent in his position. He does seem very keen on a return to the UK, so should be well up for the challenge with us.

Very happy with our January business. Not all of our new recruits will be a success because they never are, but well done to everyone involved in the process. I feel now that we are taking significant steps in the right direction.

So we've re-signed Norman Wisdom and a kid who's never played a game in this country🤣 but both good signings 👍🏻

Is the Mbenza deal a permanent one? Is there actually a deal? Nothing official anywhere that I can see.

Is the Mbenza deal a permanent one? Is there actually a deal? Nothing official anywhere that I can see. Worrying. Judging by the look of the bloke on the Amiens video he could have been signing anything! Amiens are saying it has happened on their website, though, if that counts as official (six month loan). Nothing has been easy with Mbenza it would seem. Worst signing Town have made in my 50-odd years.

I saw that Wigan brought a couple in late but generally I dont think our relegation rivals have really strengthened in January. We on the other hand have got rid of 3 absolute bad apples and brought in 6 hopefully 'good men'.
Well done us.
Good stoke performance last night too..

A few posts like this re the keeper situation. I know it's not intended, but it comes across a bit shitty. Almost ironic considering the constant bleating on about mercenary footballers.

Amiens are saying it has happened on their website, though, if that counts as official (six month loan). Nothing has been easy with Mbenza it would seem. Worst signing Town have made in my 50-odd years. Translated from their website. The Amiens SC is happy to announce the arrival until the end of the season of Isaac Mbenza! The 23-year-old Belgian striker joins the ASC in the form of a 6-month loan. Isaac leaves the English Championship in which he played under the colors of Huddersfield after having played 22 Premier League games for the Terriers the previous season. Passed by the Valenciennes training center, he also wore the jerseys of Standard de Liège and Montpellier. Welcome Isaac!

That’s the tricky bit Come July we still have under contract kongolo, diakhaby, mbenza, Flo, sobhi, Brown and hamer Until we get them out permanently it leaves little wiggle room to make new signings Hopefully they do well in their loans to attract offers

Think everyone is being a bit premature in their excitement at signing Willock. Yes it's good that we brought in a winger but he hasn't made a single appearance for West Brom while being fit the whole season. There has to be a reason for that

Not seen it said but good luck to Flo
Played a big part in the very successful first season in the PL ... I remember him running himself into the ground when he played out of position and we drew at Man City (few teams stop them scoring)
Stayed professional this season and made no waves when on the bench
Hopefully he excels in turkey and lands himself a good move in the summer
Good luck flo

Never annoyed me with lack of effort, but unfortunately his performances at right back left a bit to be desired 18/19 and early this season. Remember a good job done in the middle at Old Trafford in 18. All the best Flo.

Grosicki to West Brom was presumably the move that needed to be made for us to sign Willock.
He signed for Benfica in 2017, hopefully there’s not much time left on his contract and we can do a deal for him in the summer if he plays well.

Some saying there was a rumour that it was too expensive to play him due to the terms of the loan which is clearly bollocks. Why would the parent club put in place such high costs that prevent their player from getting game time And even if it were true, if he was good enough to help them get promoted then they would have used him regardless.

I thought we were allowed 5 loans. We now have 6, unless Grabara’s loan has been terminated.

Sean Morrison couldn’t get a game for us in his first spell but was/is a decent player, hopefully similar with Willock who definitely has a decent pedigree, Arsenal,Benfica and England youth teams. Time will tell I guess!
