Someone should have a word with Mick McCarthy. We've taken loans of left-sided players from Wolves in the past, so I'm sure we'd be happy to do so in this instance...

He won't be available until after xmas and if he is fit by then, there will be a host of lower league clubs wanting him.

McCarthy has stated (on OS) that when Kightly is fit again he will let him go out on loan to get him match fit and will add him to their 25 man squad in January if everything works out ok.:)

Don't agree with this, I (and many others) felt both Kightly and Hooper were decent players, nothing to do with hindsight

As it happens I thought Kightly had potential as he looked really skilful, but was far too lightweight. Given that, and that he had been around for some time and not really bulked up I think it was a sensible, if upsetting, decision. Tilly couldn't know that he would suddenly bulk up, although it might be that the story around him skipping breakfast was true and had the club got to the bottom of that then it might have been a different story.

My understanding around Hooper was that his dad was too involved which affected his performances. Given that, I think letting him go somewhere where else was a sensible decision. The fact that he got better the further he moved from his dad (and the more he grew up) would back that up.
