Yes but wonder how much game time he’ll get there? At least it gets him out I guess

Well I guess that will be down to him. How he impresses in training, and how he establishes his reputation. It is at least a fresh start for him, which may be what you had meant.

His wages between now and the end of the season will be relatively small if we do have to cover part of them. Also, he’s under contract until 2023 so it may help put him in the shop window if nothing else.
Also, if it frees up a space in the 25 man squad for someone like Eriksen to come in then it will definitely be worth it.

That's probably the main benefit. Unlike, say, Marcus Forss, the lad clearly doesn't have a future with us, so we may as well try and maximise his resale value (which is currently next-to-nothing I suspect!)
Great goal at Reading.
First Ecuadorean to play for Brentford.
Played for us in our promotion year.
Played a part in our historic run to the League cup semi-final.
Played for us at Old Trafford.
Part of our squad in our first season in the Premier League.
A Brentford legend!!

Hibs are a lovely club and give players time to develop. Probably the right standard for him too - SPL stretches roughly from League One to Championship apart from the Glasgow two so gives him a good platform to get some games and kick on.

I hope he's been in the weight room during his long layoff, as it won't be any picnic being kicked all over the place up there, unless the standard is such he can use his pace and trickery to get round them. Seems to be a failing common to our B team players who go out on loan.

Be nice for him to get some football regardless

And who knows we may see him rejuvenated and back again??

The main disappointment with Valencia as a wide player was that he showed neither the ability, nor even the desire to go round people.
I hope that whoever scouted him is still on the naughty step, very unusual for us to get one so totally wrong.
Wish him well with his future career & look forward to fill his place in the squad with a serious upgrade

Think this was a free hit signing - relatively low fee for someone who had done well in Poland but he simply doesn't have the physicality to make it here especially not at the current level we are at. Personally I'd be looking to sell but a loan move with a view to permanent would work equally well if the loaning club picks up the majority of his wages.
I thought I read on here once upon a time that his fee was actually surprisingly large?

1.8m I think - not chickenfeed but equally not a huge issue if we don't recoup it all back when he is sold

It's all relative - we guaranteed ourselves 170m on the result of one game

Relative to the recently released accounts. We were still down a few million after Tax but not to worry Matthew picked up the tab again.It's all relative - we guaranteed ourselves 170m on the result of one game

I can assure you that it is not a loss making business either, and those that follow that route end up in the same position as Derby and Macclesfield. Football history is littered with examples of how the once mighty fell after following the philosophy of non profit.

Weather wise perhaps, but Crewe are undoubtedly the bigger club - pre Covid Alcorcan averaged crowds of 2,800 in a 5,000 capacity ground.
