WalthamOwl Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Deal signed with us apparently. Let’s hope he continues where he left of against Plymouth. Looks a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfcGibbo Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Purely to generate page views (IMO) from the Star. I imagine they knew this deal was already agreed/in the works. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Nice one to get him signed up, hopefully if he plays well he'll repay the faith we showed in him to sign him up in the first place after time out of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, because IF he'd have had an absolute shocker last weekend the reaction would have been totally different. I actually think the club have done the right thing for once in not giving him a contract longer than necessary to judge how he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looking at how NML performed against Plymouth and how many players before seemed to up there game as deals came to and end I think super short term contracts is the way forward. One month at a time will keep everyone on there toes. Maybe over time we can move to weekly with the ultimate aim of daily or even 90 min contracts. It’s the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a sensible approach, but it would be very unhealthy for everybody here on Owlstalk. We won't get any sleep anymore, we will have heart attacks and we'll have blisters on our fingers.

Yeah it’s as if the club has been ran really well the past few years and fans automatic reaction should be to stay calm and trust the club in its decision making. Not like we’ve had points deductions, embargo’s, promising young players leave, a very good loan player going to a rival less than a week a go. This one worked out ok. But we should know that it could have very easily gone the other way. Edited January 21, 2022 by SallyCinnamon 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 How long has he signed for? All the Star says is definitely to the end of the season. Personally I'd want him on a 2 year deal as a minimum. If we go up he will still be quality in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s played out exactly how the club would’ve wanted it to. The player has come in and proved himself worth a longer deal and got one. Absolutely zero risk involved for the club.

It could but this one was the best solution for both player and club. Both parties get a opt out if it doesn’t work out and still a week to fix themselves a replacement or as has happened the player gets a new deal. Considering what we have offered out in the past I think this has been actually very astutely done from the club to be fair. There was absolutely no guarantee that NML was gonna come in and earn himself a deal given his recent history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
