darren byfield

[old chaddy ender]

had a text today saying darren byfield was training with latics today... any more news on it??

[davebuckley06]

he has definatly been training with us today aparantly he looked very sharp so obviuosly been keeping himself fit. will no doubt be involved at some point on wednesday if we are interested

[chaddy the owl]

That lad couldnt finish a sentence. Lets not go back there please, i would rather have my 7 year old up front for us, at least i know i will get 100% commitment.

[old chaddy ender]

yeah thats what a mate said in the text he looked sharp and finishing was quality, then again dont know who was in goal??

Please please please let this be a wind up

[Ernie For England]

I hope this is just a very bad joke. I've not seen many strikers worse than byfield.

[oafckev]

He was poor on loan last season and I wouldn't really want to see him back. But we do lack pace up front and if he works well with Abbott then who's knows it might just work.

[oafc_lover]

No matter how crap he was on loan last season, none of our loanees worked out but were all proven at higher levels.

 

I think we should snap him up and if nothing else, he'll push Parker and Abbott for a first-team place...

 

I do think things would be different if he was an actual Oldham player and I think Penney would get the best out of a player like Byfield.

 

Just out of interest...was Byfield at Doncaster when Penney was?

[old chaddy ender]

if it is a joke my mates gonna get a thumping for sending it to me

[erniecooksey4]

if true and we decide to sign him, then could be a very good signing. last season i don't think we saw the true byfield, he was an unfit striker, who was low on confidence. proved a rotherham, gillingham and millwall he knows were the net is and if dave penney can get him to do the same here then we will have a real asset on our hands. definetely worth a gamble!

I speak to a Millwall scout in the gym and he has nothing good to say about Byfield , I hope he is in the gym tonight he may know.

 

 

I would love him to prove me wrong but I think he is an all round male chicken

So it's YOU who keeps picking on Taylor!

maybe true but i am sure they are many people who would have good things to say about him as well.

 

with him i think he needs a certain manager to get the best out of him, shez wasn't that manager, lets hope dave penney is if he signs

[penrhyn]

Think he would be a good signing, his goal - game ratio is pretty good . Dont think we saw the best of him last year he could be the right player to link up with Abbott.

[palmer1]

I don't think he was as bad as everyone is making out, he wasn't Lee Hughes or Chris Porter but he was hardly that bad, decent goal at Crewe, played well in numerous other games iirc.

 

get him fully fit and him and abbott could be a great foil for each other.

 

we do need another striker imo and he could be the answer

[Tommy_Fent]

Yeah people have short memories, we've had far worse players than Darren Byfield at the club, but saying that I don't think we really need him, if we're to bring anyone else in, it's a centre-back

[Geordie Blue]

Could be worse, it could have been Windass!

[garcon]

I get the feeling that all the loan strikers we had last season have kind of merged into one awful failure in the general consciousness of alot of fans.

 

Byfield wasn't the worst - at least he scored!

[MaskedOwl]

I expected good things from him last season but we didnt see it.

 

Played the majority of the time with his back to goal.

 

I also thought he was meant to have pace!?

[davebuckley06]

think he would be a decent signing but dont think he will be first choice and dont think he would be too keen to com ehere to sit on the bench. think abbot and parker will be a good partnership but we need a back up as the current back ups arnt close to being upto standard at the minute although with a bit of work from them i could be proved wrong

[Lags]

I have to say he was awful last time around. Why does everyone think this time will be different?

[Diego_Sideburns]

Now that Michelle Haining will not be gracing BP, it looks like Jamelia Byfield may be called on to fill the gap. Although Michelle may be back on Saturday to watch Will on trial for Blackpool.

 

That will be a good test of our strikers. Will didn't look anything special against our non-league opponents. If he impresses against our stikers then.......
