IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm guessing he's a bit cheaper than Harry Maguire? We should sign them both. A 2 caravan defensive partnership. Niall at one side, and the one Harry tows behind him while he's running at the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IN MILAN WE RUST Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Stand down people. False alarm, nothing to see here. Phew! im sure we will be linked with a 28yr old from wycombe soon who the clappers will say is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That's not true, we only have one centre half on the books, so as it stands, if he signs, he will improve the team So if I was signed by Wednesday to play centre back it'd improve the team? I'm flipping woeful mate. But obviously that's the type of ambition we need to show! Sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So Rust Bucket...tell me a bit more about him...Is he dominant in the air, reads the game well. quick and right footed or left...fill us in then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Pleased for Sean Mcallister on a different note. Hard work pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I don't get why we should blindly accept every single signing as being exciting. He's a League 2 centre back who isn't necessarily young, most people have never heard of him before and he doesn't exactly come in as highly rated like Maghoma did. Obviously time will tell but it hardly screams of a signing that will improve the team. Agree. We should wait and see if he actually signs and then judge him on his performances if he does.

cowl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Pleased for Sean Mcallister on a different note. Hard work pays off. One of the few players we've released down the years that I was a bit disappointed about. Not a world beater but he did a decent job (far better than JOC anyway) in the centre.

Lythamowl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Another well known, quality signing. remember a similar point of view when we bought an unknown striker from Barnsley years ago. I was told we should have been aiming a lot lot higher. His name was David Hirst......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 If he can play for 40 games then he is already an improvement on Gooch. Give the lad a chance before you slate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at a good age to work and improve if he's got the raw ability. He'll be playing at a higher level most likely next season whatever happens.

gurujuan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We've apparently just been beaten by the piggies who've just snapped up a big African centre back from West Ham's academy. It's obviously an area we're targeting but probably with one eye on the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously that's the type of ambition we need to show! Sign me up. By playing professional football and playing a vital role in a promotion winning side, I would argue that he would be better than anything we have coming through and zayette is the only other contender Unless you have some secrets you would like to share, your logic is unfortunately rather flawed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
