Brilliant clip! 

[idler]

It is on the EFL site. I get their emails and gave just watched it.
Brilliant, it's like something Peter Kaye would do.

Make a great advert for Specsavers that clip. 😀

As mentioned above, Houghton often goes unnoticed but he does look the part. Breaks up a lot of attacks with a well time tackle. Not afraid of putting a foot in. Rarely wastes possession. He'd be a fantastic permanent addition.

Get some money spent Wetzel.

Taking this thread off in another direction; anyone know if Peter Wetzel is still around? Dunno if he still goes to matches but I haven't heard owt of him for years.

I think he's now resident overseas Mike, Israel I believe, although I could be wrong on that.

[Mike_F]

Cheers Martin. Hope he's doing ok wherever he is.

Unless he's moved on fairly recently, he's in Cyprus.

[The Red Baron]

Interesting. Houghton has recently changed his profile pic on Twitter to show him in the hoops.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I think Houghton is a class above. He has great touch with both feet and he thinks quickly by playing the right ball often first time. He's one of the best I've seen in that position for years. He's well ahead of Keegan and McCullough.

I'd be surprised if we could do anymore than extending his loan as I expect he's destined for better things.

"I'd be surprised if we could do anymore than extending his loan as I expect he's destined for better things".

I was kind of hoping that so were we!   


 

[ZiggerZagger]

I've heard he's out of contract at end of season.

[dknward2]

think he will stay until the end of the season then be allowed to find a new club but if we do go up i think he will end up doing a matt mills and finding a new club.

i do hope he stays as he could grow with the club ala copps

[Sammy Chung was King]

A lot thought we wouldn't get Tommy Rowe, what ever happened to him?.

[RedJ]

Bit different. He told his agent he wanted to work with Ferguson and told him to make it happen, according to what he said at the Retford branch meeting.

The two situations are nothing alike.

[IDM]

Houghton is playing regular football with us, and playing well... 

Isn't that what all parent clubs want when sending out players on loan, regardless of what league they are loaned to?

If he is out of contract at the end of the season, then he will want to be playing regularly to get in the shop window, which he would do with us.

If he gets a new contract, then there is no rush to go back to the parent club.

If they are doing a deal with agents with (say) a championship club for the summer, then there is a situation where he could go on loan to that club from January pending transfer, but that is pure speculation.

I reckon he will re-sign with us to the end of this season.

[RobTheRover]

I agree IDM.  If we are still in the top three in January then it would be great experience for him to get to know what success tastes like.

[wing commander]

   I don't see why we should rule ourselves out of getting him permanently in January...He's a good young player but lets be honest,he isn't going to make it at Chelski and I don't think there would be a big queue of championship clubs either...I would be surprised if he was offered anything further at Chelsea so a cheeky bid might suit Chelsea and a decent length of deal might suit him for the security of having a platform to further his Career...

[RedJ]

I'm not saying we won't. Just that the situation is incomparable with the Rowe signing.

[IDM]

Why won't he make it at Chelsea?  He could have a good 2 or 3 more seasons on loan where other clubs can develop him then they get the return later??

he may not be ready for them now but why not later??

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Ryan Mason was patient, was prepared to go out on loan and learn his trade. Even with a glut of foreign t
Players in the Premier league, he became a regular at Spurs. Danny Rose the same.

There's no reason why Houghton can't achieve the same if he keeps working and developing.

[Al4475]

Good player Mason! Pity we didn't get to see him fully for us! I was under the impression (but could be wrong) that he was almost a permanent signing for us before injuries scuppered it!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Houghton imperious again today and richly deserved to get on the scoresheet.

Once again he made things look simple. There were times today when he took passes under pressure and calmly took control and moved us forward in a blink.

He's also smart and agile and wins the ball when the odds are against him. I just pray we keep him and keep him fit.

[bobbymax]

Yep, top notch again! Makes room for the others to play.

[drfchound]

Take the opening post from this thread and place it here and it applies once again.

[glosterred]

Got the goal to compliment his game today, a worthy MOTM today
