    Yh like others have said straight replacement for Johanthon Leko although to me seems to be more of an out and out wide man which although not necessarily a perfect fit for bow's preferred formation I would say something we've been crying out for in recent matches.

    I don't care if he is green, orange, blue or purple. As long as he puts in a 100% when playing for the mighty REDS, he is alright by me.

    Welcome Andre.

    I'm happy with that, bags of talent on him. In bows and Gallen we trust

    Could be wrong but didn’t he rinse us a new one at Pompey a couple of seasons ago?

    If he plays on Saturday in the cup he’ll raise the average age of the team to 17.

    I think with the smooth PR operation of ESI that they’d be clever enough to announce the crappiest signing first , so things can only get better

    Against Derby we looked devoid of guile and ideas for most of the game, hopefully he can add a bit of creativity as well.

    This loan signing sounds like it's a within existing budget direct replacement...... if Leko hadn't been seriously injured and sent back to West Brom, Green wouldn't have been signed at all.

    Because his big toe hurts.

    Unless the takeover has been given the green light this is a deal that Gallen has spoken to Duchatelet about as he is still the owner. Agree sounds like a doppelganger for Leko who did well for a 20 year old who couldn't get into the West Brom squad.

    Welcome Andre and good luck.

    strange by preston. reading a bit of their forum they dont have much to say about green as he has barely played which in itself is something they are moaning about. 

    "The Andre Green signing served its purpose, which was to disguise how truly piss-poor our summer transfer business was."

    Perhaps we might see more of a 433 in the coming weeks with him and Doughty either side of Lyle until Bonne returns.

    Welcome Andre. Hopefully stays fit! Clearly a key part of a promoted team last season so has pedigree at this level.

    Never heard of him!

    That's not saying much as I had not heard of most of the loanees we got in the summer.   Good luck Andre and try an stay fit there's a good lad!

    Bowyer likes two mobile strikers, from his quote it’s clear he intends to use him as a striker who can drift out wide and take players on. He’s cleared him to Leko and Grant.

    Hopefully like those two he’ll score and create goals for us. Probably a different role to what he’s used to, like Leko he’ll need to adapt to it.

    Similar goal to Danny Green for Dagenham v Cafc in 2011.

    Seems Brentford were interested in signing him as well
