Incoming? Connor Ripley

[SteveBlade]

Not sure if that tweet is saying an announcement is imminent, or whether he's just being hopeful?

The latter.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

this one looks more reliable - got more followers and a selfie with Sean Bean

I think the praying hands at the end of it, suggest hope than knowledge, besides he can't even spell Lundstram!

 

[GrayBlade]

He kept more clean sheets than Moore didn't he? In a substantially worse team.

He did well at home, but that could be more down to the way Oldham set themselves up last season. They finished mid-table but only scored 31 goals, the lowest in the league by some way.

Thank fuck we haven't signed Assombalonga...

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

has Johannes Venegoor of Hesselink retired yet?

 

[Bartleby]

Or announce. How the hell did he get 10k followers?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Does anybody actually know the diagnosis of Simon Moores injury ?

I can share this with you, but I had to remove the text for patient confidentiality reasons...

I think I've heard of Connor Ripley, but can't be sure. Is it Stuart's lad?

 

[Ricky]

Would love it to be a permanent signing. Would be happy enough with a loan. He's been my preferred GK choice all summer.

It would make total sense to sign him permanently if we can.

Is this him?

 

[Ricky]

Is this him?

Yes. He's a big solid fucker. I think our fans will take to him if we get him.

 

[YES Blade]

Surely it's not a selfie if someone else is taking the photo?

 

[spongebobblade]

A few questions for you CB:

1. How many times have you seen him play live?
2. How did you arrive at your valuation of £300k or less?
3. Why does it matter that he's played games on loan rather than for the club that holds his registration?
4. Who would you prefer to be signed instead?
5. Did you really consider transfermarket's view? Seriously? No, Seriously?

Know where your coming from MOTS but I just checked and the lads only 13...... Canadian Blade that is, not Connor Ripley

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Yes. He's a big solid fucker. I think our fans will take to him if we get him.

It's a good shout that one.

Now I remember him actually. He was impressive for Oldham. Hope it's true.

Knill was allegedly at the Rochdale home pre season game with Middlesbrough in which Ripley was playing on Saturday.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

I don't think this will happen.

 

[Kenilworth]

I think I've heard of Connor Ripley, but can't be sure. Is it Stuart's lad?

He was good in the Alien movies.
Very brave

 

[Esablade]

Believe it or not Blades....believe it or not....

But players can improve and Ripley's performances from last season show he certainly has

 

[adebo]

I have been keen on the idea of this kid for a while to put pressure on moore. It would also give Thomas a Boro buddy/travelling companion. I had a look at a few if the Oldham highlights on that abomination of a channel 5 program and he looked suspect from distance, then I read the Wikipedia thing. Then I thought about Jay o'sheas goal (worldy btw) & I gather doubts and my inner 'pinchy' starts saying hmmm is this guy the new Mark Bunn

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Of course, it might make Ripley think twice though.

 

[zablade]

Someone on Twitter suggesting that they have seen him down at the Lane this afternoon. They're Oldham fan as well (not sure why they'd be at our ground).

Quiffy's Dad?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Quiffy's Dad?

The Oldham fans had just popped over the hill for some running water and to marvel at our electricity. Pure serendipity.

He hasn't got a nob! Don't sign him

 

[Cerberus Blade]

He did have one. But the injury is worse than feared. He could be out for some time.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Have you seen the profiles and other tweets of the jokers who started this rumour?

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Isn't one of Tufty's pre-requisites that our lakers have balls ?

 

[sheffielder]

I thought Ripley would be Boro's reserver this year. After Randolph, who else have they got?

first choice is some 38 year old Greek bloke apparently.

Fair point sir, still a fairly good record like, get your point though!
