ChaddesdenRam Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Linked with him previously. Lots of clubs wanted him but Albion turned down them all. Maybe a change of feeling towards letting him out on loan under the new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 We need a tallish (6.2) holding midfield player. Did well at Watford apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 @WatfordStatus: Well Thorne has been cracking since arrival from #WBAFC Josh McEachran however, thanks for services, say hello to Merkel ;-) #Watfordfc @JasBailey: Attackers always get props when goals galore. But thought George Thorne had blinder today. Work rate, tackling, passing all good. #WatfordFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is he definitely a defensive minded midfielder then? I don't want another Jeff Hendrick adaptation attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Watford have completed the loan signing of West Bromwich Albion's defensive midfielder George Thorne. The 20-year-old has joined on a youth loan until January 2 although the Baggies have a recall option after the first 28 days. http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/10788807.Watford_sign_Baggies_midfielder_on_loan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Fran Van Rams Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Watford have completed the loan signing of West Bromwich Albion's defensive midfielder George Thorne.

Started 8 of the 9 games he was there so was obviously a held in high regard by Watford's manager... He'd be a welcome addition to the team although I still think we'd miss Eustace's experience if Thorne played in his place and I doubt he'd want to come to sit on the bench...

inter politics Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 After a quick perusal on the Watford forum, he had mixed reviews...ironically many said they were lacking a 'Eustace-type player' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
