Pork Slops 576 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I suspect that we moved onto Mowatt straight after Choudhury opted for Watford, if so, glad we got it sorted so quickly, news seemed to come out around the time the Choudhury signing was announced. Link to post Share on other sites

Mowatt wouldn't have moved if Dike didn't get injured. They need wage space to replace him. Sounds like we've taken advantage of the situation. That would make it likely they have got a recall clause. Expect to see either a recall in January or a demand for us to pay a hefty loan fee to keep him (a bit like we did with Spence). If he does well and we are challenging WBA near top of table, it would make sense for them to try to disrupt season or get a chunk of money in for him. Link to post Share on other sites

Loans don't have an automatic recall clause and they may just want his wages off for a year. Link to post Share on other sites

I think we might have been targeting both Mowatts come in as an 8 that can do a job at 4 from what Wilder said about him replacing Tav (not like for like but similar qualities) and I agree he's definitely better slightly more advanced Still need that nasty enforcer to compete with Howson Link to post Share on other sites

Dont think so. Wilder goes on about balance all the time. Mowatt is Tav short term replacement/competition for McGree. Hamza would have provided competition for Howson and Crooks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure we would prefer not to have any recall clause in, but maybe we have been forced into it, we might well have had to agree to a recall clause and it does make a lot of sense for them. They can let him stay all season if they want, or make demands as i said originally to try to either muck up our season or get more money. They could even demand we buy him at a large price if we want to keep him. Wouldn't you like to have those options (especially if the recall option is only on their side and we cant hand him back? (I don't know if that is normal, or whether recall clauses are usually two way?) Link to post Share on other sites

Im not saying that he is the be all and end all to our threadbare squad, but he certainly fills a gap and I for one am am a little more optimistic that we will get in the players we need before the window closes. It certainly helps🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

Most loans are highly rated youngsters leaving a parent club to get minutes to develop. Very rarely do they have permanent options. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Beep 227 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Seen it suggested by WBA fans on twitter that a potential reason for Bruce letting him go is because he wasn't happy about rule of living within hour of training ground. Maybe wanted to stay closer to home. In which case you'd think unlikely to recall him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
