Should Linda move be permanent ?

George McCartney has so far been one of Big Sam’s more impressive summer signings. With his strong attacking displays down the left hand side partnered with assured defending and great vision across the pitch, the defender has proved to be a vital part of the team.

Allardyce brought him in to sure up the left back position as Herita Ilunga proved he wasn’t fit to wear the shirt in the earlier stage of the season. McCartney has himself said that leaving West Ham was a mistake and if he could he would turn back the clock to stop it from happening.

Against Brighton the Sunderland loanee proved his worth by keeping a very impressive attacking force at bay. McCartney was heavily involved in the action with crossing the ball in for the attackers and then making vital tackles and blocks in defence.



When the former full-time West Ham man was with us he was a key part of the starting 11. Although the season is just over a quarter of the way through and the former Northern Ireland defender is back with us for the whole season, what is next for McCartney? I personally believe that whether we get promoted or not it would be a wise choice for him to rejoin the Hammers as he gets first team football and is popular amongst the fans. The former Leeds United man will help implement the attacking football that West Ham can play by building from the back. He has already done a huge job for us this season in the small amount of games that he has played.

With McCartney’s adaptable play and his ability to play with different players along the back I believe that he will be a crucial part of the team this season and it would be fantastic to see him back as a full time Iron.

I also think we should sign McCartney on a permanent deal , He did very well the last time he was here and was sold for some stupid reason so to have him back is brilliant and he seems to like playing for us and is playing well this season so far

Yep defo keep Linda

No need to debate signing permanently at this stage. The only time we would even think of it is as the loan period reaches an end and we have a better idea of our future. I would then suspect we would be looking at a better LB for Prem football or one not on Prem wages for another season of Chumps.

This falls into "nothing better to write about" category. Remember we signed Ilunga because he impressed on loan-and as I just said above; if we get promoted do we really need to look at player who has been allowed to move on loan from a Prem club.

Far, far too early to speculate on anything.

No need to make a decision now.

May be able to do better when and if we come up.
