Tommie Hoban

[minijc]

Had a couple pints and was feeling brave and obnoxious

Smashing

[Redmist1903]

We don't want to be rushing our one valuable asset back from a hamstring tear and Devlin is just back from a really serious injury. Considine and Ball give me the fear. We'd be as well writing Hoban and Reynolds off. We need to take in decent experienced cover for centre half. Is that old Irish guy from WBA still available, Gareth Mcauley? If so get him signed up until Christmas at least.

 

 

Signed for the huns.

Signed for the huns.

Shows exactly what kind of team Gerrard is looking to set up.

[Sonoftherock]

Pity for us and the player... I thought he looked like a proper player. Hopefully this isn’t going to cost us too much?

[RAZOR]

"The opportunity to come and play at this famous club is amazing," McAuley told RangersTV.

 

"My family support the club, myself as well. The street I was born on, the kerbs were painted red, white and blue."

 

Spew bucket needed.

[BWG]

That's the oirish for you. Fuck all identity other than leprechauns and sectarianism.

[G31DON]

Delayed shoulder surgery as his wife was due to give birth. Out until January.

[Poodler]

Should have hit her

Quite an incredible thing to say actually. Horrendous.

What's the deal with Hoban now he's got a long term injury?

 

Is he still on loan?

Has he returned to his own club?

We still paying for him?

Maybe back around turn of the year for the second half of the season.

Yes.

I wouldn't think so.

[aberdeen1970]

He won't be back now will he?

[TheRock]

Although he's returned to his club for treatment, he can't be recalled as a player until the transfer window reopens (is my understanding anyway). Once January comes around, not sure why his club would recall him, wouldn't they be happy for the club he's currently loaned at to give him playing time etc while he's getting back to full fitness? Or do we have the option to punt him when the transfer window opens?

[V for Vendetta]

So we continue to pay full whack while they treat his injury?

You might be right. Depends how it's structured I suppose. Doesn't seem in a rush to get back playing.

I'd doubt we're paying full whack for any of our loanees.

 

If anything, we're likely on a similar deal to Ward where we pay for him if he's not playing (injuries would be an exception).

Yeah by full whack I just meant whatever we agreed when we got a fit player. It's maybe a tad harsh of me but the club should be looking to reduce the cost of wages on a loanee who has only played a couple of games before injury.

 

The thing I always wonder about is are here insurance policies for long term injuries. Hobans salary while injured might even be covered by a policy his parent club have taken out.

[Reliablesource]

“Have you borrowed a player who turns out to be a fucking crock? Call our free helpline where we will laugh like fuck at your recruitment policy ‘

To be fair, I don't think he was recruited with the shoulder injury. Bit of a freak injury it seems.

[OddJob]

I thought he was only on loan until January anyway or is that just Lowe?

[Chewie37]

Option to be recalled in January. Lowe is only on loan til january

[RUL]

He will be insured for injuries so we won't be paying fuck all.

[SheepieBaaBaa]

It seems he's very versatile, he's even played centre mid in a couple of Watfords recent friendlies. DM said he can play anywhere across the back, but if he's a better option for covering LB, then Shinnie can cover RB quite adequately if needed.

 

Just looking back at old threads.  Ironic how we were discussing Hoban being good cover in case of injuries.

[Chewie37]

Yeah RIP

[dj_bollocks]

A good player... Held together by sugar glass...

[Tord31]

Excellent. My first tattoo was about the Clash.

 

Did you see Strummer at the Gt Northern Hotel?

[Tord31]

Sounds like this lad will be keeping someone out of the team when everyone is fit.
