On loan.
Forward coming in, may not be before Saturday
He has failed to perform at Championship level for Cardiff City, that’s for sure. Hope our new forward is better than Gavin.
Hope he does well - he's not going to get game time here realistically.Quote:

On the other side of the coin, he made Callum Paterson look prolific in the Premier League.Quote:

I think that he'd make a good foil for Moore, but during his time here he definitely showed that his finishing skills were leaving a lot to be desired.Quote:

There was a reason that we signed Niasse and Sala in that transfer window. The tactic of playing Paterson up front had run its course. We played Spurs and Huddersfield in consecutive home games at the beginning of January and didn't come close to scoring.Quote:

Promised so much, but whenever I saw him, I thought he needed beefing out a bit. Too easily pushed off the ball.
That's a very simplistic view. He missed some absolute sitters when he was here. Nothing to do with the position of his teammates.Quote:

In the short term, we don't have the biggest squad so cutting a player even for a limited period of time is a risky move. He appeared to be one who Harris was trying to build up into a productive player this season.
In the longer term, Gavin Whyte has one of the longest contracts at the club (he's in the Bacuna club as is Nelson, Moore and Phillips to give you an idea) and he needs a run of games to turn potential into performance and then regular performances.
We have players in the youth set up that can fill in wide when needed.
Whyte should have been out on loan all season.
Whyte is contracted until 2023? Christ, at least he'll be useful in League One for us in his final season :hehe:Quote:

That’s exactly the question that crossed my mind given previous dealings. However, the Transfermarket website which usually mentions player agents does not do so for Gavin Whyte.Quote:

Depends what Harris has up his sleeve re. a replacement. I'm not a fan of too many loan players and actually don't want another one signed - at least the contracted players are City players and we're not going to be doing much this season so may as well develop the lad. I know I'll probably be in the minority here.Quote:

Probably sold magic beans as well
An argument against changing manager: paying off Harris and backroom staff is money better spent on scouting systems.Quote:
