[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Whats his best position? Would he be a RWB option for Bogle?

 

[Champagneblade]

He’s hardly had a stellar season last year.

What does this say about the other young right backs we’ve stockpiled?

What now for Seriki, Sachdev and Curtis?

What now for Seriki, Sachdev and Curtis?

No opinion on Sachdev but Seriki seems unlikely to ever reach the necessary level for us. A L1 or L2 loan for Curtis?

 

[Champagneblade]

Just feels like we’ve offloaded a shortarse in Osborn only to then sign the mirror image of him!

 

[finlaytheblade]

Really it's up to these players to claim the shirt.
Shackleton not managed to do that at Leeds

[Bookers Mullet]

Well it's a name on the team sheet I guess. Versatile which is always useful

 

[Nick Jansky]

What does this say about the other young right backs we’ve stockpiled?

What now for Seriki, Sachdev and Curtis?

Maybe a couple of them are considered to be not quite good enough?

 

[Harry's Game]

He not great from what I’ve seen of him but I am afraid this is the pool we are fishing in,

who knows maybe he will suit the Wilder system better than he did the Leeds system.

At least it looks like a player in to the club which is a positive and he’s free so no worries about defaulting on payments down the line.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can’t say I’m overly excited by this. But I’ll reserve judgement until he’s played a few games for us.

 

[brownblade]

We need bodies of broadly Championship quality.

We have very few bodies.

We would/will make some signings like this regardless of the takeover, I'd have thought.

 

[brownblade]

You would. Being extremely miserable.

I think this is a bit unfair.

Particularly as signing freebies could (very logically) mean there's no giant transfer kitty on the way. It's a reasonable opinion of Captains here.

 

[TJ blade]

Bench warmer at Leeds apparently, sign of the times, maybe next season might be another difficult one, but when we've got no cash, ( wherever it's gone!) What can we expect.

 

[Sparky_Blade]

He'll probably be a bench warmer for us too. We need bodies. We're not going to be spending money on players that will most likely be back up.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Didn't Rocket Man call this?

 

[designedbyross]

Basically a right footed Ben Osborn. Ok as a backup RWB but hopefully nowhere near midfield particularly first 11.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Smart pick up IMO. Versatile squad player capable of playing in a few spots if & when needed & paying nowt.

Don’t want him to be a starter (ala Osborn), but capable back up to whoever will be first choice.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Instantly dubbed 'Ernest' in the dressing room.

Or, probably not.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Don't see the fuss here! He's going to be back up for Bogle and we need plenty of bodies for a squad..

 

[ben1987]

I think if he’s back up to Bogle / this seasons Ben Osborn - strong runner for the last 15 to close a game out then it’s a decent signing.

 

[Torrix1889]

Meh, it's a body through the door i suppose....

 

[jono_t2000]

If he's in the starting XI for more than 10 games in this upcoming season, then something has gone terribly wrong.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

People never learn do they.

I remember the meltdown when we signed Jake Wright. I also remember the glee when we signed Leon Britton.

Not every signing will work. But this signing especially given his record (mid table/top end champ) is one we should definitely wait and see on.

 

[Davalon]

Not a player to get enthused about in reality but we need a squad and being realistic, we're not going to make 10 exciting signings in our position with the best will in the world. I also think clubs in our position need a couple of steady versatile types.

 

[Englebert Wincobank]

Getting on a bit or got arthritis? Thought we’d had a clear out

The comparison between the moaners on here, to the ecstasy from the Wendies after the Max Lowe signing is hilarious

 

[EddieColquhoun]

What does this say about the other young right backs we’ve stockpiled?

What now for Seriki, Sachdev and Curtis?

If we sign McCallum what now for Boyes, Buyabu and Tahir?
You could do this for every signing.

 

[CPB]

Do wonder if this is effectively a replacement for Osborn?

 

[Champagneblade]

I will!
