Guest OrlandoUnTrustful Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Not a chance in hell of him signing for us. We are about as attractive as Mick Hucknall working in Greggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has got to be the road we go down for the foreseeable, young with 150 plus appearances already. What ever we pay at his age we'd at least get our money back if it didn't work out but also the chance we could rake in a handsome profit at some point. This is another reason why it makes so much sense to appoint Cook as manager, he and his contacts know the lower leagues so well and would pick up many more astute signings. The way out of our financial mess is by clever wheeling and dealing. Look at where most of the blunts players came from that got them to the Premier league.

However there is a question about his ability to defend and how he would fit into team that doesn't play Crewe's brand of passing football. Yeah, the worry is, he suffers the same issues Penney has had when it comes to establishing himself. Both seem very similar players. Technically very good, athletic, and who love to get forward. Penney has been stifled by the managers he's played under's preference for passive, deep block defensive outlook. Pickering though, has games under his belt, at such a young age. That exposure so early on in your career can be invaluable, and you'd hope that Pickering's attacking talents can yield a more positive outlook for the team, whilst an opportunity for Pickering himself to develop on his defensive frailties. But, those two scenario's only happen, if he's given games to do so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems quite tall for a left back as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we already have the first bit in Matt Penney? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has but I think they’d both been in the championship and were a bit older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 OK Harry, just sign here...... You'll be paid 50% of your salary once every 3 months. We'll get the rest to you in due course. You ok with that? Harry..........Harry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we refine the way we play, and I hope we’ve seen the last of managers like Monk and Pulis, then those two would be decent options for us down the left 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Sounds like the sort of player we should be looking at. Whether we get him or not is another thing, but at least there seems to be some sort of thinking behind such a signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Exactly the direction we should be moving in, young player with promise, not going to cost a fortune. Buy him for £500k sell him for £5million in 18 months! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This would be a good signing. Yes there is always the risk with signing lower league players but he is young still learning and has attacking intent. You'd hope should we get him that him and Penney could push each other on in the fight for the left back position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Perhaps we could swing the deal our way, by offering them Penney on loan for the rest of the season, as a ready made replacement, providing he signs a contract extension first. Game time for Penney, in a good footballing side, and in Palmer, who never lets us down when asked to play there, we have adequate back up in the position 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This is a welcome change to the type of players we have been pursuing. I was tod just before Christmas the best two left footed players in lower leagues were Alfie Doughty who has just been signed by Stoke and Harry Pickering from Crewe. The guy knows his football and will not be far off. I have never seen him play in real life but by all accounts talented player very mobile good passer of ball and got a shot on him. Also very good at free kicks both direct and indirect. Ideally suited in playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation where full backs are attacking players. We need this type of player to move away from static formation we have. Sincerely hope we sign him he is very good choice for the club and any worthwhile manager would be delighted to have him as part of squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
