domSWFC 4,051 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don't know a great deal about him so I'm not expecting him to be a star. But he's still young, has experience at this level and adds more depth to a position we are seriously lacking. Could be a very shrewd signing, even just as a different option on the bench.

shezzas left peg 2,884 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Replacement for the out bound Reach maybe?? The lads an attack minded winger that like the ball to feet , so probably didn't want to play hoofball under Pulis or monk /neither wanted him as he dosent suit there style. Dc has told him who's taking over so Could want to play for our potential new manager Link to post Share on other sites

Mystic Neg 3,752 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just the kind of signing I could see Paul Cook getting the best from. We'd have some decent young players full of promise, perfect match for his strengths. Link to post Share on other sites

Brentford are light years ahead of us,but then so are most of the division Edited January 14 by legendaryswan 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No better offers come in, maybe the club have made a decision. Funny that there’s two decent young players linked today? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he signs for us without doubt he'll be bobbar. The Owlstalk response is based on years of past experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

swfcGibbo 1,037 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Does nobody understand how modern football works? There's a recruitment team, agents, advisors who all recommend players. The manager has some input but largely the decision is by committee (perhaps not the Roeder type ;)). I believe Luongo, Bates & Murphy were all signed when Bullen was still in charge last time. It's the nature of the modern game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
