Blue_Pizza Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Cracking young prospect, plying his trade in league two, 6 ft 3 in tall and rarely loses many headers, will hold the ball up very well and has a cracking touch, can shoot with power when given the chance as well, already bagged 11 goals this season. Heard this from a pretty reliable source, had a look around can't see who it could be, not many have scored 11+ though so cant have that many possibilites. Suppose to cost us nothing at all either, due to being out of contract in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like bull:censored: if he's a 'cracking young prospect' who's 'out of contract in the summer', they would still be eligable for a fee via tribunal unless by young you mean over 24. Must try harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he'll be squad number 11. I'm also intrigued by the lad's height which varies within this article! 24 in January. But I don't think Latics will be paying a fee for him this time round.

But I don't think Latics will be paying a fee for him this time round. Although I considered O'Grady being who he meant, there's no chance he's 6'3. I'm 6'1 and i'd say i'm comfortably taller than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'll go with the average. He does look about 6'2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) I love how everyone is disputing the height but accepting: Cracking young prospect, rarely loses many headers, will hold the ball up very well and has a cracking touch, can shoot with power when given the chance as well I hope we get a Neil Trotman transformation when he went on loan. If so it would be good management. No? Edited December 24, 2009 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) did he make a first team appearance for us before going on loan? 2 1 v Cheltenham and FA cup game v Kettering, he scored. Not wildly less than Chris O Grady I suppose, but everyone could see Trotman was a class act. Whereas 95% of people slated O'Grady at the time-even if they deny it now. I'd wager that if any Oldham manager can get te best out of COG it wouls be Dave Penney. Alongdside COG, the return of the likes of Abbott Taylor Jacobson Komax Black That's almost a half a new team!

Keep up, Taylor's already signed for Leeds. Possibly cos someone punched him in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 trottman played 18 first team games before being sold I read the question as meaning before he went to Halifax on loan, not before we sold him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Taylor threw the fistr punch though... I am not sure that Leeds need to sign a crock...! Just kidding and of Chris's family reading.

Stitch_KTF Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Scored a hat-trick today!!!! Go on DP its not as if we don't need a striker! On a free .... Once again, for crying out loud. I've read this bollocks a few times now and each time it's been posted by you. As much as I always liked O'Grady myself, he wouldn't have been 'on a free'. He would have cost £92k (or whatever), which would equate to £4k per fixture plus his wages, based on the reasonable assumption that he would have walked come the end of the season. Jesus. I'm a bit ratty today, and I'm sure that was Deane Smalley atop of the Sankeys speakers whilst having the best time in there on Saturday night (though it may not have been, I'd hate to slander, but I think it was).
