CONFIRMED Jack O'Connell Signs

[HeCanDoMagic]

We could well sign all three - O'Connell can play left back, and we only have one senior player for that position.

Agreed - if you look at my post 'Squad Development' in the main forum I've pointed out the importance of perhaps having 4 CBs in.

Top #lad? McNulty will be pleased to have a friend

 

[mattbianco1]

Every film I've seen him in he's a bit of a toe-rag.

 

[Torrix1889]

.......

If Heath was involved in the ludicrous decision to sack Mark Warburton at Brentford his opinion on anything is worth shit.

 

[Balham]

Adding to the Brentford quotes:

That happened quick! Yeah he's a pretty decent CB and can fill in at LB if needed. He's prone to the odd mistake, but tbh I think most CB are!

He never really got a fair run of games to show his ability, but I reckon if he starts regularly he'll be a great acquisition and still young.

Sounds promising. Not like any signing I can think of recently!

If ever anybody needs any motivational material to give Jack O'Connell a "kick up the arse" ........ they just need to show him this email from the Brentford chairman

A point I'd like to make about O'Connell... Brentford have a recent track record of letting good young centre halves leave with Alfie Mawson and Aaron Pierre, think there might be another one too.

I take it we've signed him then??

 

[West London]

David heath has never been Brentford chairman and hasn't even been affiiated to the club since resigning as director in 2014.....he was once chief exec but he relinquished that role in 2010..

James Wilson looked good when we had him on loan about 6/7 years ago, joc is a much better prospect.

id ignore any contribution attributed to David heath

[Slug]

Confirmed

[breeny]

Landed - welcome!

[AdamSufc1997]

Great addition to the squad. Wilder doing an amazing job so far!

 

[FriethBlade]

Couldn't have expected anyone better, young, big, left footer and played plenty of first team games. Hopefully a mainstay of our defence for many years.

 

[Barney]

First good signing. Hopefully the first of more.

 

[Lmaobob]

I know nothing about him, but hearing good things makes me happy

 

[Switch Blade]

Finally! Been waiting all day to hear this! Sounds like a promising signing, just want to see if/when Fleck is confirmed- thought they'd want to unveil them both at the same time.

 

[Esablade]

Well done Blades...starting to come together for the season to give it a reyt good go!

 

[Lane Ender]

Looking forward to the start of the season already.
Taking a right crew to Stocksbridge

 

[Jehovah]

Heard really good things, very pleased

 

[sitwell]

Wheres the ambition in that ,never heard of him ,another nobody ,get some names in Wilder.

 

[Booker4]

Interesting that Wilder says we are still working at getting one or two into the building! There might be two over the next 48 hours then! Maybe Grandison, obviously along with the Fax Machine king! I just wish we could announce the Fleck signing because with the history of United you just worry that another club has come in at the last minute.

[Guesty]

I loved him in '71.

 

[bladesmanluke]

I wonder how much undisclosed means?

What's the point in not announcing fees these days?

I imagine he'll have cost around 500k

 

[biggey blade]

First good signing. Hopefully the first of more.

Omg have I really just heard Barney say some thing positive? He is actually happy at a signing wow never thought I would see that. But your keeping your reputation in tact just about by saying first good signing judging hussey and duffey before they even put on a shirt. One of which was Highley rated by his manager and team mates and the other that played a big part in a promotion winning team but o well you have already decided they are shit so you must be right.

 

[Blade82]

Seems to be decisive with his targets whether they want to come or not. Nice one Chris. Next ...
