Eddie_m'gurk Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Surely it's too much to hope for that a new 'Ernie' is to suddenly appear and work his socks off to take us out of this Division. Still nothing fishal - on ours or the robins site. Joe probably tapped him up on Tuesday at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know its not exactly Ian Westlake related but i find it shocking that Cheltnam Towns owners are 15th on 442's Rich list. I know there's a recession on at the moment but even so, surely being that rich means they could help the club out a little bit They dropped their funding a few weeks ago.

jonnyl@tic Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Well thought of at Cheltenham.. Could be just what we need in midfield I'm sure Joe will get the best out of him http://www.robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=25142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyl@tic Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 hmm not signed yet.. Royle's Latics patience Peter Spencer March 19, 2009 JOE Royle will give his new charges a chance to impress before hitting the transfer market ahead of next week's loan deadline. The new Oldham boss is likely to make only one change for Saturday's clash with fellow play-off contenders Tranmere - Shane Supple in goal. The Eire Under-21 international has joined from Ipswich and joined his new team-mates at training today after signing on loan until the end of the season. Royle is maintaining an interest in Cheltenham's all-action midfielder Ian Westlake, but will wait until after Saturday before deciding whether to pursue two other potential targets. He said: "The lads were terrific in training. I have had the reaction I expected, very positive and the attitude has been first class. "They deserve a chance and will get it on Saturday. I gave Shane his debut at Ipswich when he was 17. He's a great shot stopper. I won't know for sure whether the team needs strengthening until after the game." As revealed by M.E.N. Sport the Latics could soon have multi-millionaire John Wardle back involved. The founder of JD Sports was the shirt sponsor at Boundary Park before splashing out at City. He is is understood to be keen to get back into football. Chief executive Alan Hardy is relishing a near 9,000-gate for Big Joe's Return. "There is very definitely a buzz about the place," he said.

oafcprozac Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Confirmed via sms. Loan till end of season. Same old Joe, sees what's required no arseing about...sign here son! Done! That's how to conduct transfers not dithering and umming and ahhing over second, third, fourth or even fifth choice targets. Don't give 'em time to think. You really think Ian Moore or that dodgy Austrian would've pissed Joe about? Edited March 19, 2009 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can't play at Cheltenham next Tuesday as per loan agreement. Pretty happy with this - a mate who is unfortunately a leeds fan rates him. he sas he's a no frills box to box midfielder who works his tits off for 90mins. Wont beat a man for skill but, and this was a direct quote "he doesn't give the ball away that much; he takes care of it"....... Likes a nibble in the tackle too, has a nasty streak if provoked apparently YARD DOGS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 "Gutted about Westlake, got a good player there Oldham." "Championship quality IMO, by far our most talented player." "What a shame, too good a player to be in a team at the foot of the table. Hope we got something off Oldham as he was on a 6month contract with us." "He's a very good player, too good for Oldham." (!) "Gutted re Westlake. Big Joe saw all he needed to see last night then!" "Westy was class and I don't begrudge him at all. Hope it's not true about being able to play against us next week." "I'd just like to say good luck to Ian Westlake at Oldham i hope it goes well for him there. Thanks for the effort you have put in while you have been here a great professional and a very talented player, always put in 100% for the team. Thanks Westy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes a nibble in the tackle too, has a nasty streak if provoked apparently YARD DOGS!!!!!! Exactly. Outwork the opposition in the middle, get the ball, dont mess around, give the ball to the wingers, and get your backside to the edge of the box to pick up any pieces. I love Mark Allott - however I feel this is a direct replacement for him. Allotts coverage has tailed off recently - and as we all know our midfield has been getting battered for months. Great move. The position we all know needed strengthening, but the only position Shez seemed determined not to strengthen. Sorted. Next! "Gutted re Westlake. Big Joe saw all he needed to see last night then!" Quality - I assume joe was scouting at the game. Westlake is the best player on the pitch and batters the bindippers... He'll do, thanks a lot Chelts! As has been said. No messing.

johnny punkster Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 if only joe was here 6 games earlier.. another target hit without a moments thought. "i want him" "ok joe,go for it" result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 But who are the two targets from the prem that have been refused where Joe states he's not started to pester yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lotsa good vibes, he sounds like a player in the Paul Murray mould. I think Maher and Westlake will probably be our first choice partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more than that though. He is the type of Manager players dont really say no to.... especially as he has given these guys a break in football... To Shez on the other hand... err, sorry mate, I'm ok where I am... hear you have a few problems up there...

dfOAFC Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 looks a good signing. is this the final proof that Stephens and Lee are either not ready for first team football or, dare I say it, crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
