Farewell Sweet Prince. Just another one who'll beat us ala Kramaric, Lookman, Crncic (under a new assumed identity I'd assume) etc etc.

[Molson Canadian]

In the national league?

Prince? Prince? Hah. Baron at best

Terrible loan , Stats before and after we took him are atrocious and would have been better giving a youth player some time than paying him for 6 months. 
Another embarrassment to our scouting team. 

[brookfox]

He came. He argued. He left.

Glover should go, but accountability is banned at this club so he'll probably be our new technical director.

[Wink84]

Club need a new model for merchandise now

[Kasey Keller]

Absolute to$$

Baffling loan and baffling player. WTF are we doing as a club? Does anyone have a clue?

if really wanted an Argentinian striker I’d rather have brought Leo back! Even at this age he would be more useful to us than this carumba guy

[Chrysalis]

Either promote a striker from youth or grab from a lower league, if the club decides it cant do neither I would rather we dont respond the money and just use existing players.

Instead I think we will end up with Antonia costing us a fortune.

[ACF]

Good looking, bad signing, returned to his club, no further harm done (except to my heart)

[Rubbersoul]

I know it’s probably becoming a boring discourse but we’d have been better suited just having an academy striker on the bench over him. 

[Uncle Monty]

He wasn't great but also didn't get a good run. Not sure why there's so much hate for him, he didn't seem to have a bad attitude? It's not like we shelled out an insane amount on him. Loaned him to take a look, not good enough, send him back. Surely that's a win given our recent track history with signings?

The hate is not for him, it is for the people that bought him here.  Whilst the transfer in of itself is not damaging financially it has been disastrous for our season as we were desperate for a striker and the goons at the club conspired to bring in one even worse than the clowns that we already have.  More should have been made of it at the time.  The club seems to have largely got away with leaving us without a functioning striker.  I was certainly shouted down for having the temerity to question it.

“Wasn’t great” would make him our best current striker by a country mile! 😂

[MC Prussian]

I'll miss that smile.

Also, Carranza is indeed clairvoyant. He knew straightaway his loan spell would end in 2026.

Let’s face it, no hate here, but he just was no where near the standard we needed. Not his fault, he tried but those that brought him here are fully to blame.

Genuinely think he wasn’t used properly and if we had any kind of press and average chance creation he probably would’ve been on 15-17 apps and 4-5 goal involvements. 
 

Under this manager though, no surprise he’s done naff all.

He was the worst striker i have seen since Roger Davies 

[Phil Mitchell]

Just needs to be more physical and make himself available more, other than that, pretty shit. Phil

[Gamble92]

I don't really think it's a shock it's not worked but it's hardly meltdown stations. We took a relatively low risk with him and he wasn't good enough. 

 

I don't think you can expect Evans or Hutchinson to be ready yet.

Scored on his debut
