Spoke to my mate, who is a Man City fan, and he tells me City have high expectations for this lad. We should give him a chance and hopefully he will repay our faith in him.
I would preferred to have seen a more experienced striker on loan (e.g. a Rob Hulse type) but let us see how this plays out.

Let's give him a chance before we slate him. I admit I'm a bit apprehensive about his signing, I too would have preferred a more experienced player, but he is a striker, we need a striker, and he can't be worse than ROD ( only positive I can find at present, apart from pace)

What a surprise - someone slating a player before he's had a reasonable chance to show what he can do. :facepalm:

I think he's slating Thorn - just like EVERY other thread he starts. The bloke needs to bore off.

Might want to take a look at this before jumping to any conclusions :-

Also worth noting was played out of position (wing) for Boro. Might explain lack of goals to a degree.

Were you expecting Thorne to say "we've signed this young lad and he's shite, but never mind". How Thorne stays so positive in the situation beyond me? I'm glad thathe can still moderate his responses to the media and remain so up beat, but he definitely needs to or it will be even worse thatn it is.

If Doncaster had signed him, this board would be inundated with those who questioned why we'd stood by whilst they had snapped up an Englans youth striker from Man City.
But we've signed him, so he must be an anus, huh?

Come on fella, it's a 3 month loan. He may well be a decent prospect but we need proven players. He'll learn his trade and feck off in April. No good for our current prediciment. Bit like Gardner. Yes a great prospect but we won't have him for long enough to get the best out of him

I am sure Thorn would love experienced players. I am sure he's enquirer about many, many such. Wonder why he can't have them?
In the interim, this lad looks a useful addition. Nothing more, nothing less. Let's at least embrace that without jaundice

I have no idea with regards tomorrow. It can't be at the request of Thorn though; it has to be as dictated by Man City.
Frankly speaking, I would happily see 11 loan players here until the season ends - if it meant us staying up. Hopefully a take-over will enable us to make longer term plans some time soon

Of course it was but realistically will this lad from man city be the saviour and keep us up... I think not so pointless in my eyes

Shove your loan violently up your arse SISU!!!
You get loans to strengthen a team... We actually need a team to start with you absolute muppets!
Being relegated I can cope with. But I fear how we will we even compete in league one at this rate, we will be without Juke (and probably a few others) by the time next season comes.
Whoever or IF someone takes over, they better be prepared because they cannot just patch us up any more.

He is a striker and has come to play for City. He must be shite :facepalm:
He will have trained with better players than we have. They have world class players. For Man City to have given him a 4 year contract he must be at least capable of scoring. He is supposedly very fast. Is that why Midds tried him on the wing?
Lets do something unusual for us. He is a striker. How about playing him in a strikers role :thinking about:

Where have you seen its three months? Everywhere I've read said till the end of the season. It's in the transfer window so there's no reason for it to be a 90 day job.
Well the season finishes end of April. By the time he signs Monday it'll be 3 months and 13 days. Is that ok for you pedantic toby...?

Anyone know considering we have signed this pace machine... why he hasn't joined for the Derby game?
Or was it cheaper to take him after this game?

Exactly hence why it's a pointless loan. Rather see our own given a chance.
